Mr. Dobrin added a garage to his house, but over time he noticed deterioration of the garage walls, several cracks, water infiltration and a slightly curved wall. He had already sealed the cracks in the past, but it didn't work as the wall continued to crack. His neighbor had the same problem as him, so he decided to have his garage wall repaired before the problem got worse.
The solution
Install our carbon fiber and CarbonArmor epoxy tapes. These bands reinforce and stabilize the cracked and arched wall. They are installed in a day and can be hidden with a finishing touch. In fact, we installed our BrightWall wall panels. In addition to hiding the CarbonArmor strips, they insulate the garage and act as a vapor barrier, thus blocking moisture from the walls. They also give a clear appearance to the garage.
Our team of professionals went to a homeowner in Montreal's Verdun neighborhood to inspect his place.
The joists of the floor of the residence began to collapse, because moisture from the ground attacked them. Our team has then advised the installation of support pillars in order to stabilize the house.
Following the installation, the owner was very satisfied with the work done by our experienced technicians.
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.
