Before the repair, the Lambton home faced multiple foundation issues: doors no longer closed properly, cracks appeared throughout the interior and exterior walls, and the floors sagged and bounced noticeably, raising concerns about long-term structural safety. After the installation of the SmartJack® system, custom-cut galvanized steel columns were carefully positioned on sturdy bases and securely attached to the existing girders. This process lifted the sagging floors, redistributed the home’s weight onto stable ground, and reinforced the overall foundation. The result is a level, stable, and structurally sound home, providing the homeowner with confidence and peace of mind for years to come.
In Sainte-Henedine, the owner noticed a gradual deformation of his foundation wall accompanied by horizontal cracks visible in the basement. Constant soil pressure, exacerbated by moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, was causing the wall to lose its anchorage and lean inward. This situation posed a serious risk to the structural stability of the house, increased the potential for water infiltration, and raised concerns that the movement would worsen over time.
After our intervention, the wall was completely stabilized thanks to the installation of the CarbonArmor® system, which immediately blocked any further movement, and the PowerBrace™ system, whose adjustable steel beams provide permanent structural reinforcement and gradual straightening. The wall is now securely anchored, the structure is safe, and the foundation is protected against lateral soil pressure. The basement now offers a safer and more sustainable environment, with restored stability and peace of mind for the owner.
In Lac-Megantic, many homeowners encounter a common problem: floors that sag, creak, or bounce, often due to weakened joists in the crawl space. In this house, the instability of the beams was visible and worrisome, prompting the owners to seek a reliable solution to ensure the safety and comfort of their home.
To address this problem, we installed the SmartJack® system, specially designed to stabilize floor beams and joists and effectively straighten sagging floors. This intervention not only eliminates bounce and tilt, but also permanently reinforces the structure of the house.
Thanks to the galvanized steel used in the installation, the house now has a solid and durable foundation capable of supporting the floors over the long term. This solution provides homeowners with peace of mind, comfort, and safety for years to come.
The interior walls of this basement in Saint-Joseph-De-Beauce, Quebec showed significant signs of settlement, posing a substantial structural risk if left unaddressed. To ensure the long-term stability of the foundation, we implemented our StableLock system—a comprehensive reinforcement solution. This process involved the pouring of a structural concrete support wall to counteract the ongoing settlement, effectively redistributing the load and mitigating further settlement. Additionally, we installed our high-strength galvanized steel PowerBrace system, engineered to provide optimal stabilization and prevent future displacement of the foundation walls. The homeowner was highly satisfied and reassured by our ability to execute the solution efficiently with minimal disruption to their living environment.
