Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Foundation cracks are a big problem that many owners in Sherbrooke face. Reparations by injection, as you can see in the Before picture, is not always the best solution especially if the crack is horizontal. In this case, there is a good chance that water will penetrate back just like it happened with this client. 

We consequently installed a vapor barrier to drain the water towards the interior drain and to have a permanent solution. The SilverGlo membrane as shown in the picture, has an R-value of 11 to isolate foundation walls all over Quebec. 

Problem

The block foundation walls had a long horizontal crack in the middle and they were starting to curve inward into the basement.

Solution

Stabilize and reinforce foundation walls with our steel PowerBrace beams. They even allow the straightening of the walls over time.

StableLock Wall offers an effective and affordable alternative to save foundation walls from failing. Using modern concrete forming and shoring methods, StableLock fills voids and stabilizes existing walls to leave a smooth, strong wall with the best qualities of a newly-constructed basement wall.

After inspecting a crack within the basement of a house in Saint-Severin-De-Beauce, we installed our FlexiSpan system as a permanent solution. The FlexiSpan system is a smart and lasting way to seal foundation cracks and stop water infiltration. Unlike regular sealants that can dry out and crack over time, FlexiSpan stays flexible, so it moves with your foundation instead of breaking. The system works in three steps: a special sealant fills the crack, a foam strip directs any water away, and a waterproof coating adds extra protection. This way, even if your foundation shifts a little, your basement stays dry! Our client was satisfied with the outcome as he finally found someone to take good care of the cracks in his basement!

A homeowner in Lotbiniere, Quebec, was worried because his home had declined by 4 inches on one side, and he had multiple cracks in his basement. He searched on Google for someone to help him fix these issues when he came across our website. After seeing our many job photos of foundation repairs, he filled out the contact request form. We quickly called Mr. Therrien to book him a free inspection and estimate. Our specialist Patrick visited him in his home and conducted the inspection. He came to the conclusion that it would be best to install 11 push piers in order to stabilize the foundation and keep it from declining any further. Mr. Therrien accepted his proposal, and we scheduled the work for a time that was convenient for him. Our foreman David headed to the home at the scheduled time and began the work. He dug around the foundation on the inside of the basement in the areas the push piers would be installed and carefully installed all of them. He then covered all the holes with cement to hide all the piers. Mr. Therrien can now sleep easily knowing his home’s foundation is stable underneath him. Another job well done by our team at Systemes Sous-Sol Quebec.
