Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

At Basement Systems Toronto, we encountered a historical home in Coldwater, visibly struggling with the test of time. Recognizable in the before photo, the foundation was degrading, contributing to unsettling floor sagging and concerning external cracks, a story echoed by the building’s century-long standing. Fast forward to now, as epitomized in the after photo, our installation of SmartJack not only brought a vital foundation reinforcement but assured the homeowners of a dependable groundwork, laying the cornerstone for future renovations and a safe, enduring estate.

Faced with keeping a historic Richmond Hill home sound, we encountered a challenging foundation: cracked main beams beneath the guidance of wooden foundations. The problem, evident in the before photo, endangered the home's stability and safety. Our remedy? The installation of a SmartJack system—a durable, adjustable solution designed to offer support where it counts. As highlighted in the after photo, SmartJack not only corrected the foundation destabilization but promised a secure base for years to come. Through precision, expertise, and innovative products, we restored not just the structure's integrity but the homeowner's peace of mind.

The FlexiSpan system is an advanced, performant solution developed to provide a permanent seal for foundation wall cracks, effectively preventing water infiltration into basements. It is particularly suited for applications where vertical cracks create pathways for water infiltration, leading to moisture issues that can compromise the structural integrity of the foundation and interior spaces. FlexiSpan system features a two-component design: A flexible polyurethane sealant that adheres to and fills the crack, and an integrated drainage channel that captures and directs any  water seepage to the home's drainage infrastructure. One of its primary advantages lies in its elasticity, which allows it to accommodate the movements of the foundation over time, in contrast to traditional sealing methods. This long-term waterproofing capability ensures that basements remain protected against moisture, mold development, and further structural degradation, offering an enduring solution for foundation cracks. The owner of this house in Toronto was very satisfied with the outcome, knowing that the crack is not a problem anymore.

Notice in the 'after' photo how the previously unstable area is now securely underpinned, ensuring the homeowner's peace of mind and home safety. Our dedication not only resolved a critical structural problem but also restored the homeowner's confidence in their home's stability.
