Foundation repair of a house in Brossard, Qc
Challenge
Ms. Berryman noticed over time that cracks had been created in several places on the walls of the exterior foundation of her house. Some of the cracks were vertical and then on the brick walls they were shaped like stairs. In addition, she could also see cracks inside her house near the door frames and on the ceiling.
The exterior and interior cracks were a sign that the foundation of her house was sagging.
She was starting to worry about her house, as she could see that part of her house was detached from the rest of the house and wanted to have the foundation of her house repaired in order to avoid the worst.
Solution
Ms. Berryman decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a reliable and permanent solution.
The solution for our client was to install hydraulic piles under the foundation footing in order to straighten it. To do this, our experts excavated all along the foundation walls to reach the footing. And then they installed several hydraulic piles. They are driven into the earth to reach a solid layer to support the foundation. This first makes it possible to straighten the foundation walls, possibly completely plug the foundation cracks and solidly stabilize the foundation so that it can no longer move.
With this solution, Mrs. Berryman has nothing more to fear regarding the foundation of her house.
