Mr. Bissonnette's basement was in a very poor condition. For 2 years, its foundation has been moving slightly and this has created cracks in its foundation, but also a subsidence of its floor on the main floor.
In order to solve the problem of floor saging, our experts installed a SmartJack support to support the floor joist system and stabilize the beam in a way that will raise the floor above the basement to its original position. . It creates a solid base specially designed to distribute the weight of the house.
Mr. Cyr contacted us because the floor of his house was sagging and needed support. So we went to him for a free estimate. On the day of the installation, our workers dug holes where the beams had to be installed. Next, they installed 5 galvanized steel SmartJack beams that support the ceiling of the crawl space.
Problem:
Our client Mario, living in Laval, had a foundation crack causing water infiltration inside the basement. As a result, the basement was becoming increasingly humid, posing potential harmful consequences to the house's foundation. Client filled out the free estimate form on our website, and we promptly scheduled an appointment. Our specialist Roxane carefully examined the existing crack: It was vertical, visible from both the outside and inside. There were efflorescence traces along the crack, indicating excessive humidity resulting from water infiltration. Roxane proposed a solution using our patented FlexiSpan system to repair the crack.
Solution:
We began by injecting polyurethane into the crack. This resin reacts against the water to form a tight, flexible, and effective seal inside the wall.
Moreover, the FlexiSpan system is a revolutionary and permanent solution for repairing cracks with water infiltrations. In fact, the crack is sealed with a special flexible sealant that stops water flow through the crack. This sealant layer is applied from the top of the crack to the bottom, and exerting no pressure on the concrete wall.
Our client is relieved. His basement and house are protected from a serious issue now that we have taken action.
Attic insulation is an important step in solving problems of home comfort, health and wasted energy (and money). This client contacted us because the temperatures in the different rooms fluctuated a lot. In addition, the old insulation became dirty and unhealthy and accumulated dust, dirt and other unwanted material.
To solve this problem, our team began by removing all the old insulation. Then we sealed all the places such as gaps, wiring holes, hunts and the top of the walls to block any air leaks. It was also necessary to encapsulate the ducts with our Tight 'n True high R-value spray foam system. Finally, we insulate the entire space with TruSoft insufflated cellulose. All these products allow the attic to be completely insulated by blocking all air leaks and controlling the energy released in your home.
An Attic Systems specialist will be able to determine which parts of your attic need to be treated to solve the problems that are affecting the air and the environment of your home.
