Our customer’s foundation in Lachute was curving, which is a serious problem and sign of failure in the basement foundation walls.
We have solved this problem, by installing PowerBrace galvanized steel beams and several smartJacks.
The beams form a system designed specifically to support the walls of failed foundations and to straighten the walls to their original position over time. Zinc coated, the PowerBrace system resists erosion, reduces abrasion and makes beams non-toxic
As for the SmartJack Support Pillars , those are steel support systems used to stabilized and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space.
In Addition they are super strong (support loads of more than 60,000 lbs.), and is the only solution that addresses problem soils.
Our patented system stands out from the others and we are very happy to have had the chance to install it at our customer’s place to solve his problem once and for all!
Mr. Jean-Pierre, who owns a house in Saint-Chrysostome, contacted our company regarding sagging floors in his home.
When our team went to check his crawl space, they found that the support posts in the area were slipping off of their bases.
So following the inspection, our team attached wood girder beams to the existing floor joists. Then we installed all metal SmartJacks with concrete bases.
Heavy-duty jack posts made with galvanized steel, such as the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, are the strongest, most corrosion-resistant crawl space structural supports available in Montreal.
This crawl space in Oka was flooded during springtime and there was the presence of mold that developed all over the Crawl Space.
Water and moisture were damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.
We sent our specialist Eugene to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.
We started by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.
And since encapsulation will allow the crawl space to be protected at all times, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth.
The CleanSpace membrane is specially designed for crawl spaces: it is thick, sturdy, tear-resistant and contains an antibacterial additive.
And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.
This house’s foundation was cracked in several places and the client noticed ground movements in 3 places. In addition, the front foundation was moving away from the other sides.
We have installed 8 PushPiers and fixed the problem permanently.
We have repaired this house’s foundation in Wentworth, and stabilized it to resist ground movement by installing 7 support pillars Pushpiers
The PushPier pillar is a patented product and it features an outer sleeve that reinforces the pillar device directly under the support which is the most critical place.
It strengthens this area and prevents twisting, distortion and rotation that are commonly observed in other support pillar devices.
