Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Lancaster, PA, grew increasingly frustrated as signs of foundation settlement began to appear in their basement. Uneven floors and growing cracks along the walls made it clear that the problem was more than just cosmetic, it was a structural concern that could worsen over time. Unwilling to let the damage continue unchecked, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, permanent solution.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified the root of the issue and recommended the installation of our SmartJack Support System. This durable, adjustable steel pier system is specifically designed to stabilize and lift sagging floors caused by foundation settlement. Once installed, the SmartJacks effectively raised the basement floors back to their proper level and provided the critical support needed to prevent future settlement.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results and finally had peace of mind knowing their home’s foundation was secure and protected for the long term!

This basement, in general, was just a damp basement. The customer tried to correct the issue himself with purchasing 2 standard dehumidifiers but it just was not cutting it. We came out and installed BrightWall paneling, which keeps water vapor and humidity from passing through your foundation walls, all while giving your basement a bright, clean look. We also installed a Sanidry Upright Dehumidifier which removes up to 109 liters of water per day, WaterGuard and a SuperSump Pump.

This Lititz customer had a semi-finished basement that he was looking to install an Egress window in the unfinished portion. This area currently had a window, but the window was not large enough to escape out of in case of an emergency and this same window, did not allow much natural lighting into the basement. We came out and installed an In-Swing Egress with a RockWell. This large In-swing Egress will now brighten up the basement with the amount of natural light it is allowing to come in and, in case of an emergency, this is now a quick, safe and easy exit from the basement.

At this property, one of the basement walls had always shown a sign of moisture buildup, and mold had begun to grow around the area. We installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is designed to stop mold growth, the musty basement smell and eliminate dust mites. Our Sedona is an efficient, high-performing dehumidifier that has a built-in filtration system that gives you drier, healthier air. 

We received a call from this customer with concerns of water entering into the crawlspace through the crawlspace door, during rain storms as well as the floors above the crawlspace were known to get cold during the winter months. After sending our inspector to evaluate the crawlspace, there was more to just water intrusion and cold floors. It was discovered that two beams in the crawlspace needed support as well.

Our company came out and installed 2 Smart Jacks under the 2 support beams, we installed Drainage Matting with CleanSpace, SmartPipe and a SuperSump Pump. We also replaced the main crawlspace door and 2 crawlspace vents.
