Before & After Photos

Settlement is the movement your home suffers when the soil below can no longer support the weight of your home due to many reasons such as drought, maturing trees and else.

At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we have the solutions for foundation settlement.

In this place in Kirkland, we have stabilized a failed foundation by installing 9 support piles.

Support pillars are the best option when earth conditions are unknown. They make it possible to raise the foundation towards its initial position, to minimize the disturbances during the installation which is done quickly, and that solves the problem once and for all.

When you see a crack on your foundation, it may be a sign that the foundation wall is moving. When there is movement at ground level, there is a risk of subsidence that can harm your home.

The best solution is to install a permanent solution as we did in this job in Kirkland.

The PushPier pillar is a patented product and it features an outer sleeve that reinforces the pillar device directly under the support which is the most critical place.

It strengthens this area and prevents twisting, distortion, and rotation that is commonly observed in other support pillar devices.

We repaired the basement slab that was sagging at this house in Pierrefonds. Symptoms can be clearly seen in the cracks separating between the top of the interior walls of the basement and floor upstairs. By installing our slab piers, we did not just stabilize the slab, but also we were able to close the existing cracks as you see in these 2 pictures.

This client contacted our company to tell us that she had water leaking in her crawl space, centered around a pipe. It became worse in the rainy and melting seasons. So to solve her problem, we installed two SmartJacks, our WaterGuard drain, our SuperSump pump and injtected FlexiSpan. She now has a dry and stable crawlspace. 

Mr. Jean-Pierre, who owns a house in Saint-Chrysostome, contacted our company regarding sagging floors in his home.

When our team went to check his crawl space, they found that the support posts in the area were slipping off of their bases.

So following the inspection, our team attached wood girder beams to the existing floor joists. Then we installed all metal SmartJacks with concrete bases.

Heavy-duty jack posts made with galvanized steel, such as the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, are the strongest, most corrosion-resistant crawl space structural supports available in Montreal.
