Before & After Photos

Mr. Young has lived in his home for over 10 years. He already had a few cracks in the foundation of his house, but that didn't worry him. Over time, the cracks widened. Worried, Mr. Young decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to find a permanent solution to his problem with foundation cracks.

The solution for our client was to install the CarbonArmor straps where there were cracks. This helps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls and prevent the cracks from growing.

With this solution, Mr. Young's foundation walls are permanently reinforced.

Ms. Chong had a big problem with cracks on one of the foundation walls. So she contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to find out the source of the problem and resolve it.

 The problem was the sagging of the foundation of her house caused by the movement of the ground.

In order to solve this problem, our experts laid 8 push peirs under the foundation pad. Their role is to stabilize the foundation permanently. These pillars are made of steel and are driven deep into the earth to bedrock or other stable layer. They can present an opportunity to pull the house up to its original position and often caulk cracks.

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.
