Unstable walls in Trois-Rivieres, Qc

Challenge

Normally, the most common cause of tilted basement walls is excess moisture around your home.

So the pressure from moisture can build up against your basement walls over time and cause the walls to crack and tilt inward. This will eventually can weaken the the structure of your whole house. 

Mr. Clement had problems with the block foundation walls of his house. They had a long horizontal crack in the middle and they were starting to curve inward into the basement. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc for a free evaluation of the work.

Solution

Our solution was to stabilize and reinforce the foundation walls with our steel PowerBrace beams. They even allow the straightening of the walls over time.
