Needs or causes

No matter whether the reason is for a complete or partial repair, or a problem of soil decontamination, you can contact us for the raising or supporting of your building.

In the case of block foundations, these last approximately 50 years. It is useless to repair these blocks; the only solution is to completely replace them by the raising technique.

If you own a residence with a crawl space and wish to take advantage of having an interesting additional basement living space, raising the building to an adequate level would be appropriate.

Symptoms of foundations which need to be raised

A few symptoms, such as water infiltration, multiple cracks in the foundation, crumbling of blocks or concrete walls, are signs that the foundation must be replaced.

The solution for foundation repair

If the building is not attached to others, the repair is executed by replacing the foundation walls using raising techniques.

Following are the different stages to replace a foundation by raising the building:

Raising the building by installing steel beams, supports and a hydraulic lifting system.
Excavation and demolition of the existing foundation.
Pouring concrete for the footing.
Coffer installation and pouring concrete for the walls.
Waterproofing.
Installation of new backfill.

Complex foundation replacements by raising the building constitute a major endeavour and can only be entrusted to an expert in foundation repair.
