Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

We repaired a client's foundation in Sainte-Geneviève. When your concrete block foundation walls begin to crack, it is a sign that they're no longer stable. This is an important sign to consider a repair, but when the wall starts to bend, there is clearly a failure that needs to be addressed.

The PowerBrace system consists of galvanized steel beams that stabilize the walls. It is a system that tightens over time to counter the problem and bring the foundation back to its original position.

You will not find similar beams. That's why they are patented.

If you notice a problem of foundation, our specialists can help you by recommending you a solution adapted to the problem of your house in order to protect you and to restore the value of your home.

We repaired the basement slab that was sagging at this house in Pierrefonds. Symptoms can be clearly seen in the cracks separating between the top of the interior walls of the basement and floor upstairs. By installing our slab piers, we did not just stabilize the slab, but also we were able to close the existing cracks as you see in these 2 pictures.

PROBLEM

Mr Mike started to notice there was a few cracks in his bedroom wall, on top of the ones he had noticed in his basement. The foundation walls had major cracks and seems no longer straight. He knew anything related to the foundation need to be taken care of quickly, he contacted us.

SOLUTION

Indeed, his foundation was settling and causing important cracks throughout the house. The foundation walls were so caved inward that the solution needed to be efficient. We went with 6 steel PushPiers to make sure the foundation would be stable and the house would stop shifting around. Mr Mike can now enjoy a solid home for his family and himself, in St-Adolphe-d'Howard, Qc.

The problem

The foundation walls blocks of Mr. Moreau's house had moved and he feared from house sagging. Knowing the problem, he took the necessary measures to protect his investment and therefore stabilize his foundation walls.

The block foundation walls had staircase-like cracks in a few places and then the bottom of one of the walls started to slope slightly inward into the basement. It was actually signs of sagging foundations. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to have a reliable and above all permanent solution!

The solution

The installation of our PowerBrace steel beams. They stabilize foundation walls and can be tightened over time to straighten sloping walls. No need to excavate with this solution and the beams are coated with zinc so it will not rust.

With this solution, Mr. Moreau will be able to have the peace of mind as his foundation walls got stabilized once and for all.

Our client noticed that the floor of his house was unstable and slightly tilted. It was actually due to the retaining wall that had started to show signs of subsidence.

In order to find a solution to the problem, he contacted Système Sous-sol Québec to obtain a free quote.

After a visit from a specialist, it was agreed to install a patented SmartJack support system. The goal was to support the joists of the house and get the floor back to its original level.

Our client now benefits from a house with solid foundations thanks to Système Sous-sol Québec.
