Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The problem: This client from Montreal was having problems with his foundation that was sagging on a corner of his house. You could see in the picture big cracks and even stair-type cracks.

The solution: First, we excavated all the soil from the corner of the house, up to the footing. Then, we put our PushPiers, to support the foundation. Note that it is possible to straighten the foundation back to its original state, but this depends on several factors and every project is different.

Problem

Mr. Boerr's building sank into the ground. Several external and internal signs were apparent including cracks on the corners of the doors and windows, in addition to  cracks on the stairs.

Solution

Pile up the building. Our team installed the push piers under the footing to stabilize it and prevent any future subsidence.

Without helical fins, Push Piers can be driven to greater depths without bending, providing support for heavier structures.

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.

Mr. Lepage had just bought his house and he quickly discovered hidden defects. At the walls, interior and exterior, there were several cracks on the foundation, around the basement window, on the brick wall.

The client contacted us and our customer service team made an appointment with one of our foundation experts.

John, our specialist, completed his full assessment of almost 2 hours. He immediately saw that the client's concerns were realistic and that the foundation had to be stabilized. The sagging foundation causes negative effects on the rest of the house, so waiting will only make matters worse. The suggested solution was the installation of 3 PushPiers screw piles, ensuring a permanent solution to stabilize the foundation. We are delighted to have solved the problem of this customer, in Sainte-Catherine, Qc.

Mr. Young has lived in his home for over 10 years. He already had a few cracks in the foundation of his house, but that didn't worry him. Over time, the cracks widened. Worried, Mr. Young decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to find a permanent solution to his problem with foundation cracks.

The solution for our client was to install the CarbonArmor straps where there were cracks. This helps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls and prevent the cracks from growing.

With this solution, Mr. Young's foundation walls are permanently reinforced.
