Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our team of professionals went to a homeowner in Montreal's Verdun neighborhood to inspect his place.

The joists of the floor of the residence began to collapse, because moisture from the ground attacked them. Our team has then advised the installation of support pillars in order to stabilize the house.

Following the installation, the owner was very satisfied with the work done by our experienced technicians.

Mr. Kherraf from Verdun QC called us complaining about structural issues related to the girders crawl space. Although he did not know much about Crawl Spaces, Mr.Kherraf went to Basement Systems Quebec website to learn more about the solutions available to him.

Our team of professionals decided to install 6 SmartJack support pillars and metal girders to support the upper floor.

The SmartJack Support Pillars are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a Crawl Space. In Addition they are very robust (support loads of more than 60,000 lbs. each), and our SmartJack solution is the only one that addresses problem soils due to the special base of engineered fill we create.

The foundation walls in this house in Verdun region was damaged because of a constant infiltration of water in the crawl space. We tore off those walls and installed steel columns (Smart-Jack) after building cement bases underneath to make the foundation stronger.

In addition, since it was impossible to install a French drain in the area, we have installed our internal drain ‘the SmartPump, sump pump drain system to solve the problem of water infiltration once and for all.

In this residence in Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare, the crawl space suffered from recurring water infiltration after rain and snowmelt. Stagnant moisture promoted odors and began to weaken some joists, a common problem in crawl spaces where water is neither controlled nor drained effectively.

The space was secured by installing the SmartSump™ crawl space sump pump system, specially designed to maintain a dry and clean environment. Equipped with a Zoeller® main pump, a sump alarm, and compatible with an UltraSump® battery backup pump, the system ensures reliable water infiltration management. To correct floor sagging and stabilize the structure, SmartJack™ adjustable supports were also added, reinforcing the joists and restoring floor stability. The crawl space is now dry, stable, and better protected against humidity fluctuations.

Moisture is very often damaging to a home and will cause unpleasant odors, and can also attack the wood and thus create mold.

Mr. Gilles from Anjou started having those problems in his house and contacted us in order to help him find the best solution with the minimum cost.

Our technicians led by foreman Petru then proceeded to install a CleanSpace membrane in order to stop water vapor from flowing up the soil and through the walls, and a SmartSump pump system that is equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller sump pump, a reliable liner, a sump alarm, and an optional battery backup sump pump, it's exactly what you need to ensure a dry crawl space all the time!
