Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Faced with a faulty pump no longer defending their basement against intrusive water, our Rivière-Beaudette homeowner made the timely decision to call us. As you can see in the before photo, the outdated setup simply couldn’t keep up. Our solution was installing a state-of-the-art TripleSafe Sump Pump system. Notice in the after photo the impeccable installation and the peace of mind it now offers. Turning a once-moisture-prone basement into a dry, secure space is what we specialize in. Providing not just effective, but truly dependable waterproofing solutions drives us daily.

If your foundation is disposed to to condensation or general sogginess such as this basement in Grenville-Sur-La Rouge, we recommend our vapor barrier liner to be installed on your basement walls with our waterproofing system.

The durable liner will work along with our waterproofing system by pushing water along the foundation down into the interior drainage system ‘the Waterguard’ instead of seeping onto the floor.

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.
