Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Saint-Esprit
Photo taken during the inspection
As crawl spaces begin to rot and decay, the floor above will begin to sag, buckle, or become uneven. Doors may jam, mold may grow on first floor carpeting, and, in the long run, the floor itself will collapse inwards.
Damaged wood in a crawl space in Verdun
The structural wood of our client’ house in Saint-Esprit has been damaged by mold, dry rot, termites, or other pets; and it will no longer bear the weight of the house on top of it.
PowerBrace galvanized steel beams installed in a crawl space in Saint-Esprit
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.
Adjustable steel posts
To solve the floor sill problem, we installed SmartJack steel posts. The big difference between the SmartJack and the steel posts that you find in Quebec hardware stores are that the SmartJack are galvanized (do not rust) and that they support very large loads exceeding 50 thousand pounds!
Installation of SmartJack poles
A very important element for the installation of SmartJack poles is their engineering base. The geotechnical engineers and the manufacturers of this product, have trained our teams to install the best engineering base for the posts.
