The problem

The foundation walls blocks of Mr. Moreau's house had moved and he feared from house sagging. Knowing the problem, he took the necessary measures to protect his investment and therefore stabilize his foundation walls.

The block foundation walls had staircase-like cracks in a few places and then the bottom of one of the walls started to slope slightly inward into the basement. It was actually signs of sagging foundations. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to have a reliable and above all permanent solution!

The solution

The installation of our PowerBrace steel beams. They stabilize foundation walls and can be tightened over time to straighten sloping walls. No need to excavate with this solution and the beams are coated with zinc so it will not rust.

With this solution, Mr. Moreau will be able to have the peace of mind as his foundation walls got stabilized once and for all.

Our client noticed that the floor of his house was unstable and slightly tilted. It was actually due to the retaining wall that had started to show signs of subsidence.

In order to find a solution to the problem, he contacted Système Sous-sol Québec to obtain a free quote.

After a visit from a specialist, it was agreed to install a patented SmartJack support system. The goal was to support the joists of the house and get the floor back to its original level.

Our client now benefits from a house with solid foundations thanks to Système Sous-sol Québec.

This crawl space in Gore had started to fall, and this is really dangerous!  That's why as soon as Mr. Morin noticed this problem he gave us a call in order to provide him with the best and most effective solution available.

After a free and professional inspection, we determined that the use of our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer was necessary to support this crawl space.

Our SmartJack provides supplemental support to crawl spaces and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position.

The installation was done so our customer will not need to worry about his crawl space any longer!

Problem

Mrs. Blanchette's basement was very damp and the carpet on the floor was wet. Moisture and water had seeped through this crack.

Solution

Seal the crack in 2 steps with our FlexiSpan system. Seal the crack with a high viscosity polyurethane polymer. The sealant penetrates deep into the crack to form a flexible and durable seal. Then, to keep your foundation walls looking great, we cover the sealed crack with another light gray polyurethane sealant. This gives the repair a neat and professional appearance. It is a patented, guaranteed and permanent solution!

This crawl space in Oka was flooded during springtime and there was the presence of mold that developed all over the Crawl Space.

Water and moisture were damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.

We sent our specialist Eugene to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.

We started by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.

And since encapsulation will allow the crawl space to be protected at all times, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth.

 The CleanSpace membrane is specially designed for crawl spaces: it is thick, sturdy, tear-resistant and contains an antibacterial additive.

And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.
