Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Our client in Saint-Hugues was facing significant foundation problems: sagging and uneven floors, weakened beams, and moisture in the crawl space. Many homeowners encounter similar signs, such as cracks in walls, doors that stick, or water infiltration, indicating structural instability. We installed the SmartJack® system to stabilize the floor beams and joists, raise the floors, and reinforce the integrity of the home. This permanent solution protects against settling, moisture, and other common structural issues, providing our customer with safety and peace of mind.

PROBLEM

Mr Dany never really saw any issues with his foundation, until recently. He had been the homeowner for many years before he noticed that the foundation walls started to cave in.  He knew he wanted to act quick to solve the issues but had no idea what would be the best solution.

SOLUTION

The client didn't know where to start but he knew he needed a permanent fix. This is the reason he chose steel PushPiers, 6 to be exact. Those piers attach to the footing of the foundation to stabilize the house. Mr Dany was so pleased that the work was completed quickly and can now enjoy his home in Sainte-Brigide-d'Iberville, Qc.

Wall cracks are very common in concrete foundation walls. To solve the problem, you need a solution that can adapt to future wall movements, because products that become rigid will crack again or lose their adhesion to concrete. This process will start again as long as the problem is not resolved with the right solution. The FlexiSpan solution seals the crack and provides a second repair strategy in the event that the sealant fails. FlexiSpan Sealant is a rubber-like liquid that allows the material to adapt to the movement of the crack. It is flexible and will not peel off concrete. It blocks water permanently.

One of our customers in Sorel-Tracy contacted us to do a foundation repair work at his home. Indeed, its foundation walls were bending, which is often a sign of failure that can be caused by various geotechnical and structural factors. To solve this problem, we installed the PowerBrace galvanized steel beams. The beams form a system designed specifically to support the walls of failed foundations and to straighten the walls to their original position over time. The PowerBrace Adjustment System is patented, which proves that it can actually improve the condition of the wall in the long run. Zinc coated, the PowerBrace system resists erosion, reduces abrasion and makes beams non-toxic. Their defined appearance and the galvanized steel covering make the beams less unpleasant to the eye because they will not be attacked by rust. Our system is installed by professionals who will ensure that the connections are made correctly and that the joint reinforcement system distributes the load equitably I a way not to damage your floor! Our patented system stands out from the others and we are very happy to have had the chance to install it at our customer’s place to solve his problem once and for all!

Problem
