In Mandeville, QC, a homeowner faced the worry of multiple cracks and unsettling foundation settlement. As you can see in the before photo, the damage was quite alarming. Seeking a reliable solution, they reached out to us. By installing Push Piers, as highlighted in the after photo, we restored the home's stability and peace of mine. Notice the remarkable difference? It's all a part of our promise to provide a solid foundation for your lives and homes.
Problem
The foundation of Mr. Gubic's house seems to be crumbling. Several exterior and interior cracks on the walls are apparent.
Solution
To solve a foundation subsidence problem, our experts install hydraulic piles under the foundations. They will support and strengthen the foundation and possibly straighten it back to its original position.
Before, our team encountered a house in Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu grappling with partial settlement and distressing cracks in the basement, clearly depicted in the before photo. Recognizing the urgency, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec stepped in with a permanent and reliable fix. We installed Push Pier systems, expertly designed to address these very issues. The after photo proudly showcases a stabilized and secure foundation, marking another successful transformation. This project is a testament to our commitment to delivering both an impeccable customer experience and undeniable results. It's what we stand for – safeguarding your home for the long haul.
Dealing with foundation damage is not easy, and will get worse with time.
Some signs of foundation settlement such as cracks in foundation walls, diagonal cracks along upstairs walls, spacing between foundation walls and floor, can give you some clues about having this issue.
When we saw some of those clues in this house in Otterburn Park, we made sure to install the proper products for a fast and less costly solution!
So we have used 3 Push Piers that has leveled the foundation.
As the foundation is raised and leveled, gaps and cracking can disappear as well as all the other symptoms associated with foundation settling.
Wall cracks are very common in concrete foundation walls. To solve the problem, you need a solution that can adapt to future wall movements, because products that become rigid will crack again or lose their adhesion to concrete. This process will start again as long as the problem is not resolved with the right solution. The FlexiSpan solution seals the crack and provides a second repair strategy in the event that the sealant fails. FlexiSpan Sealant is a rubber-like liquid that allows the material to adapt to the movement of the crack. It is flexible and will not peel off concrete. It blocks water permanently.
