This house in Hampstead was suffering from foundations failing. When you notice cracks in the foundation, do not ignore it for those are signs that ground movement is happening.
This actually affects the stability of your home and it is important to fix this problem before it gets worse.
We have stabilized this house by installing 12 PushPiers recessed piles and a perimeter of SilverGlo insulation panels.
Our SilverGlo insulation panels are inorganic and contain graphite particles that reflect heat to protect the home.
We have repaired our client’s crawl space in Saint-Esprit after our client noticed his house floor was sagging.
Furthermore, we have installed our company's SmartJack support pillars which are support systems made of steel used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawlspace.
The SmartJack support pillar is the best system to lift above floors and walls back to their original position.
We have stabilized our client’s foundations permanently in Montreal-Nord thanks to our Push Piers system.
Push Piers are often the least risky solution when local soil conditions are unknown.
In addition, Push Piers support pillars can be installed from inside and outside and the finish will be clean and neat.
Mr. Dobrin added a garage to his house, but over time he noticed deterioration of the garage walls, several cracks, water infiltration and a slightly curved wall. He had already sealed the cracks in the past, but it didn't work as the wall continued to crack. His neighbor had the same problem as him, so he decided to have his garage wall repaired before the problem got worse.
The solution
Install our carbon fiber and CarbonArmor epoxy tapes. These bands reinforce and stabilize the cracked and arched wall. They are installed in a day and can be hidden with a finishing touch. In fact, we installed our BrightWall wall panels. In addition to hiding the CarbonArmor strips, they insulate the garage and act as a vapor barrier, thus blocking moisture from the walls. They also give a clear appearance to the garage.
Our client's house had cracks that were starting to appear. Despite several renovations, the cracks kept coming back. The cause of the problem was due to sagging of the foundations. In order to solve the problem definitively, our specialist proposed the installation of 12 SmartJacks in the crawl space of the house in order to support and raise the floor of the house.
Thanks to these solutions, our client enjoys a house with repaired foundations and a well-supported floor.
