Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

In the before photo, you'll see a dark, earthen crawl space in a house built in 1940s on precarious fieldstone, pointing to the struggle against moisture and frost. Fast forward, and the after shot captures how our CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and SmartJack systems transformed this problematic crawl space into a clean, dry, and stable foundation. Notice the seamless encapsulation and the sturdy support – proof of our commitment to delivering enduring and effective solutions for homes in Saint-Zénon, QC.

We are happy to have installed the TripleSafe in Vimont, Laval. Sump pump systems get rids of water before it seeps into your and causes flooding and damage. All the water intercepted is evacuated far from the house. The TripleSafe system gives you three times more protection thanks to its three pumps. The first allows pumping water under normal conditions. The second embarks when the flow and/or the volume of water are too fast. The last is a pump that works thanks to a self-recharging battery. This pump will save your basement if a storm or other reason causes a power failure.

Mr. Patry had a large crack in his concrete slab in the basement of his house that worried him. In addition to that, there were cracks in the shape of staircases on two walls of its foundation. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to get a free estimate and find out about possible solutions to his problem.

Our specialist who went to the site to do the free inspection found that the crack in the concrete slab and those on the foundation walls were caused by the foundation sagging. With the movement and change of the soil under the foundation, the weight of the foundation was no longer supported so it began to sag.

We Added our Push Piers under the foundation to stabilize it permanently. As there were several obstacles outside, our experts laid the pillars for the interior of the house. They dug to reach the footing of the foundation to then insert the hydraulic pillars. They rest on a very solid layer of soil, which stabilizes the foundation once and for all. They even created a possibility of straightening the house to its original position.

With this solution, Mr. Patry will have nothing more to fear for his foundation.

Problem

Infiltration of water in the crawl space creating humidity, mold and rot on the wood. Hence the humidity made the house less comfortable.

Solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and liner on the floor and walls. And then install a SuperSump sump pump system. Humidity will be reduced or even eliminated, and infiltrating water will be expelled outside the house thanks to our SuperSump pump.

PROBLEM

The client was unaware of the state of her crawl space in the first years after moving in. Once she saw the space, filled with iron ochre, she got worried. She decided to contact us.

SOLUTION

It was essential to install a pump since the iron ochre had blocked the existing drains, creating water infiltration. We also opted for the CleanSpace product, so Mrs. Nathalie could enjoy a clean crawl space. She now feels reassured that the crawl space will be efficient in her home in Saint-Calixte, QC.
