Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilization of a curving wall in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures

Our client from Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures contacted requesting a free estimate for the repair of her foundation that bent inwards and let water through the cracks. This problem, which she had already tried to solve by clogging the places where the infiltrations took place, was not a permanent solution because it did not solve the problem at its source. In addition, moisture and water from the earth exert great pressure on the foundations, which contributes to their failure and collapse. Our PowerBrace galvanized steel beams form a stabilization system securely anchored in the floor and floor joists. It's a unique and patented system that can be adjusted over time to restore the value of your home.

Major crack in the foundation

During the inspection, the specialist found that this major crack was a sign of foundation subsidence and infiltrated water in the basement.

Insulation of the exterior wall

In order to offer extra protection and insulation, our team installs a vapor barrier membrane and insulation on the outer wall of the foundation wall to block water, moisture and excessive heat.

Clogging cracks on curving wall

The wall curving inward was subject to water infiltration that the client had attempted to seal. As long as the foundation problem is not solved and the wall is not stabilized to withstand the pressure of the earth, it will continue to bend and the cracks will reopen.

PowerBrace beam system

This system is installed easily because it is from the inside and does not require heavy equipment. As it is zinc-plated and will not rust in water, it will remain pleasing to the eye and can be straightened over time.
