Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Stabilization of a foundation in Montreal, Qc

The foundation of Mr. Diaz's house was slowly sagging. He knows that if he does nothing, his foundation will continue to sag. So he wanted to have it fixed before the problem gets worse. He decided to contact Système Sous-sol Québec to obtain a permanent solution. The problem Weak and unstable soil under the foundation. This caused movement of the wooden beams which supports the weight of the house causing overload of weight and slits in the beams in several places. Because of this, the foundation was quietly sagging.   The solution Installation of SmartJack brackets to support the joist bracing device in place. A hole is dug in the earth for each SmartJack installed and is filled with compacted fill to create a stable base. About ten brackets were installed in order to support the weight evenly and straighten the floor to the floor above in its initial position. With this solution, Mr. Diaz will have nothing more to fear for his foundation.
