Reinforcing foundation walls in Pont-Rouge, Qc

Mr. Boivin discovered this year that he had a problem with his house foundation. One of its walls was curved in the center about 3 ”towards the interior of the basement. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a reliable and permanent solution.

The solution for our client was the installation of 5 ArmorLock Carbon straps linked and attached to the joists using our ArmorLock system. CarbonArmor is made of carbon fibers and epoxy and it helps solidify and stabilize cracked or arched foundation walls. When ground pressure forces foundation walls to bend or tilt inward, this is where the ArmorLock system comes in to help. It serves as additional reinforcement as the straps are attached to the ArmorLock system which is attached to the joist. Holding the foundation wall to the ledge joist will prevent soil pressure from pushing the wall inward.

With this system, Mr. Rousseau can have the peace of mind as his foundation wall will not budge.
