Foundation stabilization in Très-Saint-Rédempteur, Quebec
Challenge
In Très-Saint-Rédempteur, a homeowner was facing an increasingly worrying situation: cracks were forming in his foundation walls, moisture was seeping in, and some walls were even beginning to lean inward. Every day, these signs became more visible, causing discomfort, mold growth, and, above all, fear of serious structural collapse. He knew that waiting would likely aggravate the problem and make repairs even more costly.
Solution
To address this situation, our Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team recommended and installed the PowerBrace® system. Made of galvanized steel, these sturdy beams were measured and adjusted on site to fit perfectly against the basement walls. Once securely fastened to the floor and ceiling, they immediately stabilized the foundation. Over time, this ingenious system even gradually straightens the walls without excavation or invasive work.
Today, the house is secure, the basement is sound again, and the owner has regained peace of mind. Thanks to PowerBrace®, he knows that his foundation is protected for the long term.
