Before & After Photos

Mr. Bissonnette's basement was in a very poor condition. For 2 years, its foundation has been moving slightly and this has created cracks in its foundation, but also a subsidence of its floor on the main floor.

In order to solve the problem of floor saging, our experts installed a SmartJack support to support the floor joist system and stabilize the beam in a way that will raise the floor above the basement to its original position. . It creates a solid base specially designed to distribute the weight of the house.

Mr. Cyr contacted us because the floor of his house was sagging and needed support. So we went to him for a free estimate. On the day of the installation, our workers dug holes where the beams had to be installed. Next, they installed 5 galvanized steel SmartJack beams that support the ceiling of the crawl space.

Problem:

Our client Mario, living in Laval, had a foundation crack causing water infiltration inside the basement. As a result, the basement was becoming increasingly humid, posing potential harmful consequences to the house's foundation. Client filled out the free estimate form on our website, and we promptly scheduled an appointment. Our specialist Roxane carefully examined the existing crack: It was vertical, visible from both the outside and inside. There were efflorescence traces along the crack, indicating excessive humidity resulting from water infiltration. Roxane proposed a solution using our patented FlexiSpan system to repair the crack.

Solution:

We began by injecting polyurethane into the crack. This resin reacts against the water to form a tight, flexible, and effective seal inside the wall.

Moreover, the FlexiSpan system is a revolutionary and permanent solution for repairing cracks with water infiltrations. In fact, the crack is sealed with a special flexible sealant that stops water flow through the crack. This sealant layer is applied from the top of the crack to the bottom, and exerting no pressure on the concrete wall.

Our client is relieved. His basement and house are protected from a serious issue now that we have taken action.

A dirty and wet crawl space affects your entire home! As the air of a house moves from below to above, it is necessary to treat the problem at its source ... the crawl space. Encapsulating the area is a good thing for your home and your health! That's what our client in Gatineau is doing. Our specialist therefore recommended the best encapsulation products: CleanSpace, Delta MS, TerraBlock, SmartSump and SaniDry Sedona.

This client had cracks repaired in one wall of his block foundation, but had not repaired all of the walls. Over time, one of the walls will start to arch and tilt inward from the basement. If nothing will be done, the situation will only get worse. So, he contacted Systèmes sous-sol Québec in order to stabilize his wall once and for all!
