Before & After Photos

Mr. Kherraf from Verdun QC called us complaining about structural issues related to the girders crawl space. Although he did not know much about Crawl Spaces, Mr.Kherraf went to Basement Systems Quebec website to learn more about the solutions available to him.

Our team of professionals decided to install 6 SmartJack support pillars and metal girders to support the upper floor.

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 very robust (support loads of more than 60,000 lbs. each), and our SmartJack solution is the only one that addresses problem soils due to the special base of engineered fill we create.

The foundation walls in this house in Verdun region was damaged because of a constant infiltration of water in the crawl space. We tore off those walls and installed steel columns (Smart-Jack) after building cement bases underneath to make the foundation stronger.

In addition, since it was impossible to install a French drain in the area, we have installed our internal drain ‘the SmartPump, sump pump drain system to solve the problem of water infiltration once and for all.

Mr. Ephraim has lived in his house for 10 years. It had been almost 4 years since he had cracks fixed in the foundation of his house, but the situation never improved but on the contrary, the cracks widened and other cracks appeared.

Mr. Ephraim wanted to find the peace of mind and avoid any future problems, so he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to solidify the foundation walls of his house.

To solve our client's problem, our experts laid PushPiers under the foundation footing of the house. These pillars reach deep into solid rocky soil to support the weight of the house. This will permanently solidify the foundation of the house. A possible straightening of the foundation can be carried out.

With this solution, Mr. Ephraim can regain the peace of mind as the foundation of his house is stabilized once and for all.

Before: A customer from SouthWest, Montreal started noticing that the floor of his upper house was sagging, in addition to Drywall cracks throughout the house.

After: Following the inspection of our specialist, our company has recommended the installation of a CleanSpace membrane, a SmartSump pump system, and SmartJack Pillars

This solution pleased this resident of Southwest because it has solved her problems in a short time and for a reasonable investment.

The foundation of Mr. Diaz's house was slowly sagging. He knew that if he does nothing, his foundation will continue to sag. So he wanted to have it fixed before the problem gets worse. He decided to contact Système Sous-sol Québec to obtain a permanent solution.

The problem was that the ground under the foundation is weak and unstable. This caused movement of the wooden beams which support the weight of the house causing overload of weight and slits in the beams in several places. Because of this, the foundation was quietly sagging.

The solution for our client is to install SmartJack supports to support the joist reinforcement device in place. A hole is dug in the earth for each SmartJack installed and is filled with compacted fill to create a stable base. About ten brackets were installed in order to support the weight evenly and straighten the floor to the floor above in its initial position.

 With this solution, Mr. Diaz will have nothing more to fear for his foundation.
