Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Our client in Saint-Boniface-de-Shawinigan was facing significant structural problems in the form of cracks in the foundation walls that were compromising the stability of their basement.  

After a comprehensive assessment, our team carried out extensive repairs to the foundation. We installed our patented PowerBrace system, designed to stabilize and straighten weakened walls while ensuring long-term durability.  

To complete this project, we also added Foamax panels, a thermal and fire-resistant insulation that perfectly prepares the space for future basement development. In addition to improving comfort, this solution protects against moisture and fire.  

An effective, durable, and aesthetic transformation that restores value and peace of mind to our client. 

In Val-Des-Sources, a homeowner faced serious concerns with foundation instability and an inclined wall, clearly problematic in the initial photo. Understanding the urgency of the situation, our expert team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec deployed the innovative PowerBrace™ System to tackle these issues effectively. Notice how the zinc-plated steel beams are precisely custom-fitted to match the basement height, transforming the wall's posture in the after photo. These beams are immovably secured with anchors to the basement floor and first-floor framing, restoring stability while allowing for further adjustments over time. This project underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence in foundation repair, providing homeowners lasting confidence and peace of mind through durable and trustworthy solutions.

Mrs. Cuff wanted like to use her crawl space for storage, but it was very humid. Since she wanted to keep her belongings in good condition and avoid mold, she wanted to find a solution. So, she decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to resolve the humidity problem quickly.

The solution for our client was to first install a SmartSump sump pump system. It is connected with a discharge line which will expel the water away from the foundation of the house. Then, a drainage mat was placed on the ground so that the water that ends up on the surface goes directly to the SmartSump. Finally, our CleanSpace coating is installed over the drainage mat. Material with a thickness of 20 mm composed of polyethylene and antimicrobial, it blocks moisture from the soil and prevents the proliferation of mold. It also gives a clear and bright appearance to the crawl space.

With this solution, Mrs. Cuff will be able to use her crawl space as storage space and above all have a dry crawl space!

Mr. Woods has an earthen crawl space with several problems:

- Water infiltration

- Humidity

- Mold

When it rains or during spring, water infiltrates in his crawl space creating a lot of humidity and mold over time. Another source of moisture is the earthen ground. The water in the soil evaporates creating moisture.

All of This has affected the comfort of his home, as his floors were cold and there was a smell of dampness in the house.So he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol in order to isolate his crawl space and resolve his problems definitively.

The solution

First, the mold on the wooden walls was removed with our Mold-X product. Then, our experts installed our SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls of the crawl space. 2 '' thick panels with radiant barrier to isolate the cold and reflect heat inside the crawl space. They then laid our TerraBlock insulation sheets on the earthen floor. They made it possible to insulate the crawl space and protect it against humidity. Finally, our experts installed our CleanSpace coating on top of the TerraBlock. Moisture is therefore blocked, it protects the TerraBlock insulation sheets and crawl space into a clear and clean appearance.

Our clients in Gatineau were suffering from water infiltration problems in their home's basement which caused humidity in the area and has also lead to severe coldness in the basement that has reached the whole house as well.

As you can see in the first picture, the water has penetrated the floors and structural paint damages have occurred on the walls.

Furthermore, our professionals have installed a WaterGuard system, our SuperSump sump pump, as well as our SaniDry and IceGuard systems and finished it with the EverLast wall restoration systems.

Our clients are now very happy since they did not face any humidity problems again and can enjoy their new warm, dry and beautiful basement.
