The resident of this house in SouthWest, Montreal suffered from a very high level of humidity, caused by a non-isolated crawl space.
Mr. Dany noticed also that the floor was sagging which caused her a deep concern.
As you can see in this picture, we have totally encapsulated the crawl space and the foundation
When the Crawl Space is not encapsulated, the cold, moist air from the floor spreads around the house, transferring all the bad odors that are unpleasant for locals.
We went to this client house in SouthWest and we completely isolated his Crawl Space with our CleanSpace membrane and our SmartJack support Pillars.
Mrs.Tramblai noticed the presence of moisture in her Crawl Space. In addition, she wanted to find a solution to prevent cold air from entering her cellar.
Following her call, our crawl space specialist advised her to install a CleanSpace membrane and a drainage mattress to encapsulate the service cellar. In addition, our specialist recommended installing the support pillars which is the best system to lift above floors and walls back to their original position
Following work in her Crawl Space, this resident of Pointe St Charles in Montreal was very satisfied with the results obtained. She can now use her Crawl space as a storage space.
The SmartJack system raises and stabilizes beams and floor joists in your crawl space. A specially designed solid backfill base addresses the problem of inadequate foundation soil by transferring the weight of the house to a competent soil layer. Steel columns are secured under the beams or joists of the crawl space. Robust threaded rods allow each SmartJack pole to be adjusted to the desired height. We are very happy to have worked on this project!
Problem
Mr. Boerr's building sank into the ground. Several external and internal signs were apparent including cracks on the corners of the doors and windows, in addition to cracks on the stairs.
Solution
Pile up the building. Our team installed the push piers under the footing to stabilize it and prevent any future subsidence.
Without helical fins, Push Piers can be driven to greater depths without bending, providing support for heavier structures.
