Stabilization of joists in a crawl space in Deux-Montagnes, Qc
SmartJacks supports are the best solution to stabilize crawl spaces. These are galvanized steel support devices that solve the problem of joists and posts that are sagging and weakening.
SmartJacks supports effectively spread the weight of the house on the competent ground. So we installed this solution with our Deux-Montagnes customers who had floor problems.
The SmartJack system is adjustable, so you can tighten it periodically to bring the floor above the crawl space to its original level to eliminate twists and adjust the leveling of the floor.

Installation of a sump pump system in Beauharnois, Qc
If you are using your basement for storage, it is important to protect your belongings so that they are not damaged by water infiltration. When a basement is at risk, an airtight coating for the pump is a necessity to prevent any water infiltration from entering the habitable and usable space.
We installed our patented hermetic SuperSump coating and a Zoeller sump pump. This waterproofing system keeps the basement dry and protects it from infiltration of underground water so that it can be used safely. Finally, we installed IceGuard and LawnScape which are products that we add to the water discharge line to allow the water to be evacuated in case that pipe freezes.
Water infiltration through foundation cracks in Beauharnois, Qc

So she wanted to deal with it quickly, since she had frequent water infiltration and was afraid this would affect the value of her investment. The water had already created damage to the floor. There was also a lot of efflorescence at the base of the concrete walls.
So our team suggested to her exactly what she chose. They did a nearly 2 hour assessments, indoor and outdoor, to make sure was there was no other problems.
The products used included a SuperSump pump, attached to an IceGuard and LawnScape. This pump includes 1 electric pump, 1 alarm, 1 drain and can pump 2200 gallons per hour, quietly and efficiently. The Iceguard and LawnScape allow a safe exit from the water without damaging the terrain. The client can now enjoy a dry basement and maintain the value of her home.
