Photo Album: Foundation SupportWork in Lachute, Qc
This home in Lachute had a serious problem of failure in the crawl space area.
The client told us that his wall is bending, the support beams in his crawl place started to crack and he needed our help ASAP!
We reserved an appointment with our specialist, and after checking up the area, we confirmed the problem, therefore, our specialist recommended the best solution with a guarantee for the whole life of the house.
We installed our PowerBrace (galvanized steel beams) and our SmartJack systems. Supportworks PowerBrace Galvanized Steel Beams are beams installed along the height of the wall and anchored to the concrete floor and wood joists on the ceiling. This system is specifically designed to support the curving foundation walls to bring them back to the original position over time by tightening the system.
As for the SmartJacks, those are steel support systems used to stabilized and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space.
Small crawl space entrance
Most of the times, the crawl space entrance is very small, which makes it hard for people to access the place. But our team is trained to face any obstacle.
Cracks in the support beams
Those beams look really dangerous, and they might not be able to support the house weight within time.
Covering up the house belongings
Our team is always ready to meet our client’s requests.
Examining the area
During inspection, our team will always make sure to study the appropriate location for the installation.
Installing the SmartJack support pillars
Those pillars are super strong (support loads of more than 60,000 lbs.), and are the only solution that addresses problem soils.
