Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Settlement is the movement your home suffers when the soil below can no longer support the weight of your home due to many reasons such as drought, maturing trees and else.

At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we have the solutions for foundation settlement.

In this place in Kirkland, we have stabilized a failed foundation by installing 9 support piles.

Support pillars are the best option when earth conditions are unknown. They make it possible to raise the foundation towards its initial position, to minimize the disturbances during the installation which is done quickly, and that solves the problem once and for all.

When you see a crack on your foundation, it may be a sign that the foundation wall is moving. When there is movement at ground level, there is a risk of subsidence that can harm your home.

The best solution is to install a permanent solution as we did in this job in Kirkland.

The PushPier pillar is a patented product and it features an outer sleeve that reinforces the pillar device directly under the support which is the most critical place.

It strengthens this area and prevents twisting, distortion, and rotation that is commonly observed in other support pillar devices.

The problem

Mr. Raymond had an urgent problem and needed to stabilize one of the foundation walls. The block foundation wall had a long horizontal crack in the middle of the one-inch wide wall and the wall was dangerously curved.

The solution

To solve our client's problem, we put a wall anchoring system on the cracked wall. Once the anchors are tight, they hold the wall securely in its current position. The anchors can be tightened allowing the wall to be straightened.

We repaired a client's foundation in Sainte-Geneviève. When your concrete block foundation walls begin to crack, it is a sign that they're no longer stable. This is an important sign to consider a repair, but when the wall starts to bend, there is clearly a failure that needs to be addressed.

The PowerBrace system consists of galvanized steel beams that stabilize the walls. It is a system that tightens over time to counter the problem and bring the foundation back to its original position.

You will not find similar beams. That's why they are patented.

If you notice a problem of foundation, our specialists can help you by recommending you a solution adapted to the problem of your house in order to protect you and to restore the value of your home.

We repaired the basement slab that was sagging at this house in Pierrefonds. Symptoms can be clearly seen in the cracks separating between the top of the interior walls of the basement and floor upstairs. By installing our slab piers, we did not just stabilize the slab, but also we were able to close the existing cracks as you see in these 2 pictures.
