Before & After Photos

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.

Having discovered our company on Facebook, this customer living in Saint-Lambert area contacted us to tell us about his concerns about humidity and support system in his crawl space. Indeed, the air in the area was very heavy and cold. In addition, the support pillars were not strong enough because they did not support the floor of the upper floor properly, which caused it to sag. These problems are very dangerous for the health of the home and the safety of the family living there.

For example, we sent one of our specialists who recommended the installation of the following products: SilverGlo insulation panels, 12 SmartJack support pillars, WaterGuard interior foundation drain, SuperSump sump pump system, freeze protection IceGuard Discharge Line, LawnScape Discharge Line Discharge Mouth.

With these products, the water can no longer infiltrate the crawl space and affect the air by releasing water vapor, because the water is intercepted by the internal drain and discharged by the sump pump. The water vapor is blocked by the SilverGlo insulation and the crawl space roof is now more than solid thanks to the SmartJacks

Brick blocks and columns do not provide effective and permanent support for the crawl space, as they will move according to the weak ground motions.

So we must put pillars that support the house on stronger soil.

We have stabilized this crawl space in Longueuil by adapting one of our simple solutions from which SmartJack pillars and galvanized steel PowerBrace beams that will lift the foundation to their original position immediately.

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.
