Foundation problems in a house in Saint Adolphe D'Howard, QC
Our client noticed that the floor of his house was unstable and slightly tilted. It was actually due to the retaining wall that had started to show signs of subsidence.
In order to find a solution to the problem, he contacted Système Sous-sol Québec to obtain a free quote.
After a visit from a specialist, it was agreed to install a patented SmartJack support system. The goal was to support the joists of the house and get the floor back to its original level.
Our client now benefits from a house with solid foundations thanks to Système Sous-sol Québec.

Solutions
- Encapsulation of the crawl space with our CleanSpace coating.
Our coating acts as a vapor barrier, it is very resistant and blocks moisture from the earth floor.

Stabilized Foundation Walls in Piedmont, Qc
When a concrete block foundation wall begins to tilt or recline, the problem must be addressed quickly before the structure and security of the home is undermined.
To solve the problem of this weakening foundation wall, we installed our CarbonArmor wall reinforcement system that stabilizes the foundations permanently.
CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers that are ten times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to match the contour of your basement wall. It is a fast, non-invasive, and ideal solution for quickly stabilizing arched and sloped walls.
It is an interior system, so it does not disturb the house and does not damage the lawn or landscaping. It is also easy to paint or camouflage when finishing the basement, making it a discreet and fast solution.

The problem
Mr. Raymond had an urgent problem and needed to stabilize one of the foundation walls. The block foundation wall had a long horizontal crack in the middle of the one-inch wide wall and the wall was dangerously curved.
The solution
To solve our client's problem, we put a wall anchoring system on the cracked wall. Once the anchors are tight, they hold the wall securely in its current position. The anchors can be tightened allowing the wall to be straightened.

This house in Hampstead was suffering from foundations failing. When you notice cracks in the foundation, do not ignore it for those are signs that ground movement is happening.
This actually affects the stability of your home and it is important to fix this problem before it gets worse.
We have stabilized this house by installing 12 PushPiers recessed piles and a perimeter of SilverGlo insulation panels.
Our SilverGlo insulation panels are inorganic and contain graphite particles that reflect heat to protect the home.
