Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner from Keansburg, NJ was tired of dealing with a damp, musty crawl space that caused unpleasant odors and raised concerns about mold and structural damage. To protect their home and improve indoor air quality, they opted for a comprehensive waterproofing solution featuring the Turtl, Drainage Matting, and CleanSpace.

The team installed the Turtl, a crawl space door built to keep out elements and debris. To prevent water from pooling around the foundation, they added Drainage Matting, a specialized layer that directs water away from crawl space walls and toward a drainage system. Finally, CleanSpace was applied along the walls as a durable vapor barrier, sealing out moisture and blocking humidity from entering the space.

Thanks to this combination, the homeowner's crawl space is now dry, clean, and well-ventilated helping to protect their home’s foundation and creating a healthier environment throughout the house.

This homeowner from Keansburg, NJ needed more reliable beams for their crawl space, since their current ones were creating sagging beams. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended SmartJacks.

SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel, so they'll never corrode. Each jack has a load bearing capacity of 60,000 pounds and they are adjustable to the height of your crawl space. 

The homeowner now has peace of mind that their crawl space beams are secure. 

Bayonne homeowner's doors and windows were not opening properly and his floors were squeaking. Quality 1st Basement Systems diagnosed the problem as sinking foundation. The SmartJack system was installed in the crawl space to stabilize the beams and floor joists, preventing the foundation from sinking. This home now has a stable foundation!

Quality 1st Basements sent one of our System Design Specialist out to inspect the structure of this crawl space after the homeowner noticed the floors on the first level of their home, above the crawl space was uneven and sagging. 

We discovered the crawl space beams were no longer enough support for the floor joist causing the floor to sag. We recommended our SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizers to add additional support to the crawl space beams and floor joist for stabilization.  

Water infiltration can cause damage to a basement. Quality 1st Basements removed paneling and studs and installed WaterGuard below-floor perimeter drainage system to prevent future water seepage. The WaterGuard system installs cleanly with minimal disruption of the floor and is concreted over after installation. A WaterGuard port was installed along this wall for easy access to the drainage system for maintenance and cleaning.
