Crawl space stabilization in Saint-Didace, QC
Challenge
In Saint-Didace, a homeowner contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec after noticing serious issues in their crawl space. The floors above were sagging and unstable, and the space itself lacked proper insulation and access.
Upon inspection, our team identified several structural concerns. The support beams were insufficient, the joists were spaced too far apart, and the overall framework was no longer providing adequate support. The stone foundation made access difficult, further complicating both the evaluation and the repair process.
These conditions not only affected the comfort of the home but also posed a risk to its long-term structural integrity.
To restore the home’s stability, our team installed the SmartJack® System, a proven solution designed to stabilize and lift sagging floors.
Solution
Our production crew carefully placed adjustable, galvanized steel columns beneath the crawl space beams. Each SmartJack was precisely cut and positioned to evenly distribute the load and reinforce the weakened structure. This not only stabilized the beams and joists but also helped lift the floors back toward their original level.
In addition, improvements to insulation and the addition of a proper access point enhanced both the functionality and energy efficiency of the space.
The result is a safer, stronger, and more comfortable home, with long-lasting structural support the homeowner can rely on.
