Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Mr. Mayrand, situated in Thetford Mines, Quebec, was stressed because he had water infiltration in his basement and when he removed the floor, he discovered a lot of mold. He decided then to go online and find a solution. Upon discovering our website, he filled out our request form. We quickly responded to his request and scheduled a free inspection at a time that was convenient for Mr. Mayrand. Our specialist Houssem Ben Salah drove to Thetford Mines at the scheduled time to meet Mr. Mayrand and complete the inspection. Upon noticing the gravity of the damage, Houssem decided the proper course of action would be to install 5 PowerBrace™ Foundation Wall Repair System to address the foundation issues, as well as a WaterGuard® Basement Drainage System combined with a CleanSpace® Basement Finishing Wall System, and a SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System to address the water infiltration issues.

Our foremen Cedrick and Colin were tasked with this big job and headed to the site in Thetford Mines to complete the installation. They first dug trenches along the foundation walls in the basement and a pit for the sump pump. They then installed the WaterGuard® Basement Drainage System in the trenches, as well as the SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System in its pit. The WaterGuard is designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint and directs it to the sump pump. They then installed the CleanSpace® Basement Finishing Wall System all over the basement walls. This system creates an effective moisture and vapor barrier. The wall covering forces all wall seepage and moisture to flow into your perimeter drain system. Finally, they installed the PowerBrace™ Foundation Wall Repair System. This patented foundation wall repair system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. Our client can now rest easy without worries about his foundation collapsing or water infiltrating his home. Another job well done by Basement Systems Quebec, thanks to the whole team!

Before the repair, the Lambton home faced multiple foundation issues: doors no longer closed properly, cracks appeared throughout the interior and exterior walls, and the floors sagged and bounced noticeably, raising concerns about long-term structural safety. After the installation of the SmartJack® system, custom-cut galvanized steel columns were carefully positioned on sturdy bases and securely attached to the existing girders. This process lifted the sagging floors, redistributed the home’s weight onto stable ground, and reinforced the overall foundation. The result is a level, stable, and structurally sound home, providing the homeowner with confidence and peace of mind for years to come.

In Sainte-Henedine, the owner noticed a gradual deformation of his foundation wall accompanied by horizontal cracks visible in the basement. Constant soil pressure, exacerbated by moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, was causing the wall to lose its anchorage and lean inward. This situation posed a serious risk to the structural stability of the house, increased the potential for water infiltration, and raised concerns that the movement would worsen over time.

After our intervention, the wall was completely stabilized thanks to the installation of the CarbonArmor® system, which immediately blocked any further movement, and the PowerBrace™ system, whose adjustable steel beams provide permanent structural reinforcement and gradual straightening. The wall is now securely anchored, the structure is safe, and the foundation is protected against lateral soil pressure. The basement now offers a safer and more sustainable environment, with restored stability and peace of mind for the owner.

The interior walls of this basement in Saint-Joseph-De-Beauce, Quebec showed significant signs of settlement, posing a substantial structural risk if left unaddressed. To ensure the long-term stability of the foundation, we implemented our StableLock system—a comprehensive reinforcement solution. This process involved the pouring of a structural concrete support wall to counteract the ongoing settlement, effectively redistributing the load and mitigating further settlement. Additionally, we installed our high-strength galvanized steel PowerBrace system, engineered to provide optimal stabilization and prevent future displacement of the foundation walls. The homeowner was highly satisfied and reassured by our ability to execute the solution efficiently with minimal disruption to their living environment.

Issue:

There are three foundation cracks visible from inside the basement of Mrs. Thibodeau's house. Moisture and water seep through these and cause dampness in the basement.

Solution:

Seal the cracks inside the basement using our patented FlexiSpan method. Our team apply two types of polyurethane sealant.
