Before & After Photos

Faced with a block foundation from 1951 showing significant wear after this year's thaw, the homeowner in Innisfil, ON, knew it was time for a change. As seen in the before photo, degradation had its hold – but not for long. Enter Basement Systems Toronto: our solution, PowerBrace, revitalized the foundation's integrity, ensuring stability for years to come. Notice in the after photo the reinforced structure, a testament to our mission of providing reliable, long-lasting solutions and remarkable customer experiences.

In Port Carling, Ontario, we were called to address structural concerns within a crawl space. The rim joist had begun to sag due to prolonged exposure to excess moisture, resulting in sagging floor above. To resolve the issue, we installed our SmartJack support system, engineered specifically for crawl space stabilization. The installation involved excavating footing holes and pouring engineered base pads to provide a stable load-bearing surface. Galvanized steel SmartJack posts were then custom-cut to fit the required height and precisely positioned beneath the rim joist. The SmartJack beams allow for immediate lift and long-term support. Once adjusted, the system redistributed the weight of the structure, reducing stress on the rim joist and preventing further settlement.

Before, our Toronto homeowner faced a stressful recommendation from a structural engineer: bracing their house to prevent serious issues. As you can see in the before photo, the foundation needed critical support. Enter Basement Systems Toronto: we installed our innovative SmartJack system, offering a sturdy, adjustable, and long-lasting solution. The after photo reveals a transformed space, securing the home's structural integrity and giving the homeowner peace of mind. Trust us to protect and enhance your home's foundation with care and expertise.

In the Sprucedale area, a homeowner faced significant foundation challenges, including visible cracks and a leaning wall, which threatened the structural integrity of the home. To address this, the Basement Systems Toronto team applied the PowerBrace™ System, a proven solution designed to stabilize compromised foundation walls. Custom-fit, zinc-plated steel beams were installed, secured with specially designed brackets anchored to both the basement floor and the first-floor framing. This approach effectively halted inward wall movement and has the potential to gradually correct existing destabilization. The PowerBrace™ System provides a comprehensive, long-term solution, safeguarding the home’s structural stability and value, while minimizing disruption thanks to its design that avoids extensive drilling or excavation.

In Sutton West, the homeowner was dealing with bowing and cracked foundation walls, causing moisture intrusion, wall pressure, and risks to the overall stability of the home.

Thanks to this intervention, the client now enjoys a solid, secure, and long-lasting foundation, with a basement that is protected from moisture, fully functional, and safe, ensuring the comfort, safety, and value of the home for years to come.
