Our client in Saint-Camille-de-Lellis was experiencing typical foundation problems: a leaning wall, horizontal and diagonal cracks, partial floor sagging, as well as hydrostatic soil pressure causing water infiltration and structural weakening. To secure the home, our team installed the PowerBrace system, designed to stabilize sinking or leaning walls, distribute soil pressure, and prevent future movement. This intervention corrects the wall’s angle, supports the weakened foundation, prevents cracks from worsening, and protects the structure from moisture and damage caused by ground movement. Thanks to this durable solution, the wall is now straightened, secured, and reinforced, ensuring foundation stability, structural safety, and the prevention of future water infiltration or settlement issues.
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!
The residents of this house in Gatineau suffered from a very high level of humidity, caused by a non-isolated crawl space.
They have also noticed that the floor was sagging which caused them a deep concern.
As you can see in this picture, we have totally encapsulated the crawl space and the foundation.
The crawl space was damp and very poorly insulated. The floor were sagging and needed support.
Solution:
•Installation of the SilverGlo to enclose the air outside the house
• Application of an urethane foam to insulate the crawl space
• Installation of a drainage membrane and a CleanSpace to isolate the house from the earth and make the crawl space cleaner.
• Installation of a SmartJack to support the house.
