Foundation repair in Saint-Boniface-de-Shawinigan, Quebec
Challenge
Our client in Saint-Boniface-de-Shawinigan noticed the appearance of worrying cracks in the foundation walls of their basement. These visible signs indicated a loss of structural stability caused by excessive lateral pressure from the soil. The situation was becoming alarming, compromising not only the solidity of the house but also its long-term value. In addition to the structural problem, the basement lacked insulation, making it cold, damp, and unsuitable for any future development. The client was looking for a durable and effective solution to prepare the space for future use.
Solution
After a detailed inspection by our team, we recommended installing the PowerBrace system, a patented technology consisting of galvanized steel beams. This system stabilizes and straightens foundation walls without requiring exterior excavation. It offers a reliable and durable solution.
To improve energy efficiency and prepare the basement for future development projects, we also installed Foamax insulation panels. These panels offer excellent thermal resistance while acting as a barrier against moisture and fire hazards.
As a result of this structural and thermal intervention, the client now has a safe, stable, and comfortable basement. Their home has regained its safety and value. Above all, they benefit from lasting peace of mind and a space that is ready to evolve with their needs.
