Before & After Photos

Our client’s foundation problem in Chénéville Qc, began with a small crack above the crawl space. Over the past few years that small crack turned into an even bigger one. Mr. Billy knew that he needed to do something about this before the situation got worse, so once they found our company they called us for a free inspection.

Our team went quickly to evaluate the situation, and we concluded that the foundation was settling and recommended installing Helical Piers. With a plan set, our team came out to the home to start the project.

Helical Piers were installed inside the crawl space. Once the soil was removed from the areas where the piers were being installed, heavy-duty foundation brackets were positioned below the footing.

Mr. Billy has lived in his house near the lake since 1960. Over the years, he had noticed cracks in the walls, but didn't dwell on them too much. There was a crack near a doorframe up to the ceiling, a crack that was on the corner of an exterior wall that widened to be half an inch wide, and then a wall had started to curl. All these signs alarmed him and this is why he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a free inspection.

When our specialist arrived on site, with the owner's information, he knew there was a problem with the foundation and if the homeowner does not fix the situation, the walls could sag and the damage to the house would be enormous.

 The solution that was offered to Billy by our experts was the insertion of support pillars in the floor of the interior of the house.

The support pillars we used are made of steel and are driven deep into the ground to reach rocky ground or other stable layer of soil. This will straighten the house to its original position and then stabilize it permanently.

Mr. Lalonde contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc, because he saw that his foundation walls had cracked. The cracks were horizontal and stair-like . He also noticed that one of the walls was curved towards the interior of the basement.

The solution was to stabilize the failing foundation walls with our PowerBrace. This system will also allow a potential straightening of the walls over time.

Before diving into the heart of Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka, QC, our team faced the challenge of addressing worrisome foundation cracks, clearly visible from the inside of a valued homeowner's residence. As showcased in the 'Before' photo, these fractures were more than superficial; they signaled an urgent need for a stable and lasting remedy. Guided by our commitment to remarkable resolutions and customer satisfaction, we introduced the GeoLock Wall Anchor system. Witness in the 'After' photo, the transformation is not only structural but assures peace of mind. Through precision and innovation, the house now rests on a foundation as steadfast as our dedication to providing reliable, enduring solutions.

Our client from Brownsburg noticed that the walls of his foundation were bending inward, and knew that he needed to fix this problem immediately before it gets worse!

After contacting us, our specialist inspected the basement and recommended the installation of the best products that could repair this problem permanently.

Furthermore, we installed several PowerBrace support beams to stabilize the foundation walls and an ArmLock fasteners system that attaches CarbonArmor carbon fiber strips to the joist.
