Foundations stabilized in Kirkland with PushPiers
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.
Stabilization of a foundation in Kirkland, Qc
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.
Slab settlement in Pierrefonds, Québec
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.

The problem
The foundation walls of Mr. Milette's house cannot endure the pressure of the soil. Two foundation walls were slightly arched towards the interior of the basement with a long horizontal crack in the middle of the walls.
The solution
Support and strengthen the walls!
The solution for our client was the installation of 8 PowerBrace beams as well as the Carbon Armor reinforcement device. PowerBrace beams are a patented device designed to support foundation walls and provide potential straightening over time. It is a permanent and reliable solution. And then the CarbonArmor device was applied in order to reinforce the two cracked and slightly arched walls.
With this solution, Mr. Millette has foundation walls that will not budge.
Wall insulation of a basement with Foamax in Laval, Qc
Mr. Demuy has an uninsulated basement with concrete walls and floors. He wanted to use this space to store his personal belongings, but he was worried about the humidity and wanted to insulate his walls from his basement. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a reliable and efficient solution.
The solution for our client was to install our Foamax insulation panels on the basement walls. They are made of high performance polyisocyanurate foam coated with a white finish on one side and a vapor barrier on the back. They provide comfort, superior insulation and make your walls look cleaner and brighter.
