Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Our client's house had cracks that were starting to appear. Despite several renovations, the cracks kept coming back. The cause of the problem was due to sagging of the foundations. In order to solve the problem definitively, our specialist proposed the installation of 12 SmartJacks in the crawl space of the house in order to support and raise the floor of the house.

Thanks to these solutions, our client enjoys a house with repaired foundations and a well-supported floor.

Mr. Côté was dealing with so many problems in his basement. There was mainly water seeping inside and cold air coming in through the walls.

Solution:

• Installation of WaterGuard (interior drainage system) along the perimeter of the foundation.

• Installation of a SuperSump sump pump system.

• Cover the walls with SilverGlo to insulate the basement from the cold.

Mrs. R, a Montreal resident, was having water infiltration problems in her basement, and she needed to get this problem fixed ASAP, and for good, so she could reuse her basement fully, without being worried about any future problems.

Furthermore, her old sump pump wasn’t working properly and water was infiltrating into her basement, inside the wall bricks, and on the floors, and in order to fix this problem, our team has replaced the existing sump pump pit by our SuperSump, which is not only hermetically sealed to prevent humidity from going out but also has an alarm system that sounds if the pump stops working and the water level reaches the top.

In the case of this client, we later added as per the client's request an UltraSump battery backup system, which is a backup system that can discharge about 12,000 gallons on one discharge if the main pump ever stops working in cases such as failure, a circuit break or power outage.

Mr. Ephraim has lived in his house for 10 years. It had been almost 4 years since he had cracks fixed in the foundation of his house, but the situation never improved but on the contrary, the cracks widened and other cracks appeared.

Mr. Ephraim wanted to find the peace of mind and avoid any future problems, so he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to solidify the foundation walls of his house.

To solve our client's problem, our experts laid PushPiers under the foundation footing of the house. These pillars reach deep into solid rocky soil to support the weight of the house. This will permanently solidify the foundation of the house. A possible straightening of the foundation can be carried out.

With this solution, Mr. Ephraim can regain the peace of mind as the foundation of his house is stabilized once and for all.

Cold basement walls make your entire basement colder in the winter. The cold surface also creates condensation in the summer. Insulating your basement walls with the right material can help make your basement warmer and drier.

Those problems were occurring in our client’s basement in Montreal, and this is when she deceided to contact us!

Our team suggested the installation of 2 from our products: ThermalDry and Foamax.

Our thermalDry system is Stain resistant.Won't warp, bow or delaminate like wood products.

As for our Foamax, it really makes a big difference in the temperature of your walls, providing a comfortable basement and lowering heating costs.
