Ms. Méndez contacted us to repair her crawl space. We had to support its floor because it was sagging and to encapsulate the crawl space because there was moisture. We installed SmartJack galvanized steel beams to reinforce the floor structure. Then, in order to properly isolate the crawl space from the outside air, we covered the walls with insulating panels. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier membrane to prevent moisture from rising to the upper floors. The remaining moisture will drain into the sump pump system that we installed.
We have solved a foundation problem in a house in Vimont, Laval by installing push pier pillars. These pillars are the solution by excellence for homes and foundations that collapse.
The problem: This Laval client had a structural problem in her crawl space. These support beams were not adequate so there was a sag at the ceiling of the crawl space.
Solution: Following inspection by our system design specialist Jerry, he suggested installing piles to support the structure we call SmartJacks. They are very sturdy and we can adjust them to be the right height for your crawl space.
Problem
Mrs. Blanchette's basement was very damp and the carpet on the floor was wet. Moisture and water had seeped through this crack.
Solution
Seal the crack in 2 steps with our FlexiSpan system. Seal the crack with a high viscosity polyurethane polymer. The sealant penetrates deep into the crack to form a flexible and durable seal. Then, to keep your foundation walls looking great, we cover the sealed crack with another light gray polyurethane sealant. This gives the repair a neat and professional appearance. It is a patented, guaranteed and permanent solution!
If you are concerned like this customer from Candiac because you see signs of efflorescence, moisture, and water seepage and you see a crack in your concrete wall, do not wait too long before you act. The more you neglect the problem, the more it gets worse. Indeed, a crack brought water and water vapor into the subsoil causing the appearance of efflorescence. In addition, sealing a crack with rigid products such as epoxy is not a long-term solution, because as the wall cracks move, the sealant will break and fall or the crack will reappear at another location, and the problem of water and humidity will come up again. To fix the problem, we inject our patented FlexiSpan sealant which is a urethane-based liquid that, and once dry, will be flexible to block the vapors and water infiltrations and resist the movement of the wall crack
