Before & After Photos

Our client’s foundation problem in Chénéville Qc, began with a small crack above the crawl space. Over the past few years that small crack turned into an even bigger one. Mr. Billy knew that he needed to do something about this before the situation got worse, so once they found our company they called us for a free inspection.

Our team went quickly to evaluate the situation, and we concluded that the foundation was settling and recommended installing Helical Piers. With a plan set, our team came out to the home to start the project.

Helical Piers were installed inside the crawl space. Once the soil was removed from the areas where the piers were being installed, heavy-duty foundation brackets were positioned below the footing.

Mr. Billy has lived in his house near the lake since 1960. Over the years, he had noticed cracks in the walls, but didn't dwell on them too much. There was a crack near a doorframe up to the ceiling, a crack that was on the corner of an exterior wall that widened to be half an inch wide, and then a wall had started to curl. All these signs alarmed him and this is why he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a free inspection.

When our specialist arrived on site, with the owner's information, he knew there was a problem with the foundation and if the homeowner does not fix the situation, the walls could sag and the damage to the house would be enormous.

 The solution that was offered to Billy by our experts was the insertion of support pillars in the floor of the interior of the house.

The support pillars we used are made of steel and are driven deep into the ground to reach rocky ground or other stable layer of soil. This will straighten the house to its original position and then stabilize it permanently.

Mr. Lalonde contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc, because he saw that his foundation walls had cracked. The cracks were horizontal and stair-like . He also noticed that one of the walls was curved towards the interior of the basement.

The solution was to stabilize the failing foundation walls with our PowerBrace. This system will also allow a potential straightening of the walls over time.

Our client had a foundation problem. The hydrostatic pressure had bent the foundation of his walls in the basement.

After looking for solutions on the internet, she decided to contact Système Sous-ol. An appointment was set and a specialist went to do an assessment.

In order to fix the problem, PowerBraces were needed. It was necessary to support the foundation walls first and then straighten them.

Thanks to our company, our client solved her foundation problems and can now enjoy now a safe house.

In Amherst, our client was facing an increasingly worrying problem: a sagging crawl space, warped floor joists, and visible cracks in the walls and ceilings on the ground floor. These signs revealed a weakening of the load-bearing structure, a very common problem in old crawl spaces where moisture, wood rot, and unstable support pillars compromise the solidity of the house.

To permanently correct the situation, the Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team installed the SmartJack™ system, an adjustable galvanized steel structural reinforcement solution designed to support and straighten floor beams and joists. This system offers high load capacity and can be adjusted over time to ensure the home's long-term stability.

Thanks to this installation, the crawl space is now solid, secure, and compliant with modern structural standards. The ground floor has been restored to its original level, eliminating sagging and vibrations caused by lack of support. This transformation demonstrates how Systèmes Sous-sol Québec helps homeowners in Amherst and across Quebec correct floor sagging, prevent structural damage, and reinforce the durability of their homes with solutions such as SmartJack™.
