Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Ms. Chong had a big problem with cracks on one of the foundation walls. So she contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to find out the source of the problem and resolve it.

 The problem was the sagging of the foundation of her house caused by the movement of the ground.

In order to solve this problem, our experts laid 8 push peirs under the foundation pad. Their role is to stabilize the foundation permanently. These pillars are made of steel and are driven deep into the earth to bedrock or other stable layer. They can present an opportunity to pull the house up to its original position and often caulk cracks.

Ms. Berryman who lives in Brossard started to notice that cracks had been created in several places on the walls of the exterior foundation. In addition, she could also see cracks inside her house near the door frames and on the ceiling. She was starting to get worried about her house and wanted to have the foundation of her house repaired.So she decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a free estimate.

The solution for Ms. Berryman was to install hydraulic piles under the footing to straighten it. To do this, our experts excavated all along the foundation walls to reach the footing. And then they installed several hydraulic piles. This first makes it possible to straighten the foundation walls, possibly completely plug the foundation cracks and solidly stabilize the foundation so that it can no longer move.

This house in Greenfield Park had water infiltration problems coming through the walls of the basement. To solve this issue, we have installed a WaterGuard interior drain, a SuperSump pump, a  SaniDry Upright and B to B insulation walls.

Our client in Longueuil called to have his crawl space encapsulated. This picture shows the big difference between an encapsulated and insulated crawlspace, and the many earth crawl spaces you can find in Quebec. 

The insulation helped solve many issues the client had, such as insulating the upper floors from the cold, making the crawlspace clean and letting him use the crawlspace as an additional storage room.

This basement in Greenfield Park suffered a lot from water infiltration and needed our company’s intervention to waterproof the place!

We installed our interior drainage system’ the WaterGuard’ at the foot of the foundation, at the joint between the wall and the footing so that the water that infiltrates through the slab, the wall and the joint is intercepted by the drain then evacuated by the sump pumps.

Then we connected the WaterGuard to the SuperSump sump pump system in order to evacuate the water that infiltrates through the ground.
