Before & After Photos

Ms. Chong had a big problem with cracks on one of the foundation walls. So she contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to find out the source of the problem and resolve it.

 The problem was the sagging of the foundation of her house caused by the movement of the ground.

In order to solve this problem, our experts laid 8 push peirs under the foundation pad. Their role is to stabilize the foundation permanently. These pillars are made of steel and are driven deep into the earth to bedrock or other stable layer. They can present an opportunity to pull the house up to its original position and often caulk cracks.

Ms. Berryman who lives in Brossard started to notice that cracks had been created in several places on the walls of the exterior foundation. In addition, she could also see cracks inside her house near the door frames and on the ceiling. She was starting to get worried about her house and wanted to have the foundation of her house repaired.So she decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a free estimate.

The solution for Ms. Berryman was to install hydraulic piles under the footing to straighten it. To do this, our experts excavated all along the foundation walls to reach the footing. And then they installed several hydraulic piles. This first makes it possible to straighten the foundation walls, possibly completely plug the foundation cracks and solidly stabilize the foundation so that it can no longer move.

Problem

Due to soil pressure on the foundation walls, one of Mr. Bradette's foundation walls tilted inward about 1-2 ”. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to straighten his wall and thus prevent his wall from collapsing.

Solution

To solve this problem, our experts installed our PowerBrace beams. They strengthen the problematic wall and allow it to be straightened over time so that the wall can return to its original position.

With this solution, Mr. Bradette can have peace of mind.

Wall cracks and changes in the operation of doors and windows, may point that your foundation is sinking and settling.

Our client was constantly trying to repair and remedy these symptoms without knowing that there was a permanent solution for all those problems, until he found our company and called us for a free inspection!

Following his call, our team of professionals has installed 10 SmartJack support pillars in order to stabilize this house in Saint-Hubert.

The SmartJack support pillars are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. In addition they are super strong and are the only solution that addresses soil’s problems.

This house in Varennes had signs of wall failure.

There was horizontal cracking near the middle of the wall, Horizontal cracks usually start out small and increase in width over time as the soil outside continues to put pressure on the wall.

We have repaired the foundation of this house and stabilized them through our Supportworks Push Piers.
