In Montmagny, the owners of this house were concerned about their foundation walls, which were beginning to lean inward. Soil pressure was exerting a constant force on the walls, threatening their stability. Cracks were visible, and the basement was becoming highly exposed to moisture and thermal loss.
By installing our PowerBrace system, the walls are now solidly stabilized, with the possibility of gradual straightening. In addition, SilverGlo insulation panels were added to improve the basement's energy efficiency. The result is a secure foundation, a more comfortable basement and new confidence for homeowners.
The basement of this house in Saint-Come-Liniere suffered from damp walls, cracks in the foundation, water infiltration, and a risk of mold and structural deterioration. To solve these problems, Systèmes Sous-Sols Québec installed a TrenchDrain drainage pipe, embedded in the floor to capture water directly and direct it to the sump, quickly eliminating any accumulation and preventing flooding while remaining discreet and easy to maintain. The system is complemented by the SuperSump pump, capable of efficiently removing accumulated water, even during heavy rains or snowmelt. To ensure the strength of the walls, we applied PowerBrace, an interior reinforcement that corrects cracks and prevents deformation, ensuring structural stability and safety. Thanks to this combination of solutions, the basement is now dry, healthy, and functional, offering lasting protection against moisture, infiltration, and mold, while improving indoor comfort, safety, and the value of the home.
Our client in Ste-Catherine-De-La-J-Cartier contacted us through our website because he recently bought a property and the engineer who inspected the property discovered that the back foundation wall is domed inwards. We offered Mr. Dalidec a free inspection to come and take a look at his foundation. Upon completing the inspection, our specialist Roxane decided the best plan would be to install 6 PowerBraceTM Foundation Wall Repair System beams. Our foreman Jawad then went and carefully completed the installation of the 6 PowerBraceTM beams. Our client can now sleep easier at night knowing that his foundation walls aren’t crumbling beneath him. Once again, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec comes to the rescue, protecting the foundation of another house!
Attic insulation is an important step in solving problems of home comfort, health and wasted energy (and money). This client contacted us because the temperatures in the different rooms fluctuated a lot. In addition, the old insulation became dirty and unhealthy and accumulated dust, dirt and other unwanted material.
To solve this problem, our team began by removing all the old insulation. Then we sealed all the places such as gaps, wiring holes, hunts and the top of the walls to block any air leaks. It was also necessary to encapsulate the ducts with our Tight 'n True high R-value spray foam system. Finally, we insulate the entire space with TruSoft insufflated cellulose. All these products allow the attic to be completely insulated by blocking all air leaks and controlling the energy released in your home.
An Attic Systems specialist will be able to determine which parts of your attic need to be treated to solve the problems that are affecting the air and the environment of your home.
