Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

It's very easy for a resident to neglect an unsightly walkway, but did you know that disheveled concrete is a sign of a more concerning issue? Concrete settlement occurs overtime due to poorly compressed soil, exposure to sunlight, and moisture. Take a look at this Manasquan, NJ property, whose owner was fed up with struggling with anxieties relating to early signs of concrete settlement located around their pool deck. After meeting with our talented system design specialist Jeff, we were to direct our foreman Ramon and his crew to conduct a full installation of our PolyLevel Foam Injections beneath the sunken slabs to lift and restore them to their designated surface height. From now on this poolside patio is entirely safeguarded to withstand future indications of surface deterioration. 

In Manasquan, NJ, a homeowner became increasingly frustrated with concrete settlement around their front sidewalk and entryway, as the uneven surfaces posed safety concerns and detracted from the home's overall curb appeal.

Luckily, after contacting Quality 1st for a reliable solution, our team recommended the use of our specially formulated PolyLevel Foam Injections. We injected the expanding foam under the settled concrete, which quickly lifted and stabilized the sidewalk and entryway back to their original surface level.

To ensure long-lasting results, the concrete was restored to a smooth, even surface, eliminating the risk of future settlement. Ultimately, the homeowner was left with a safe, stable, and visually appealing walkway!

Heavy rainfall had recently drenched the area, and this Manasquan, NJ homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their crawl space, iron ochre buildup, musty odors, and water stains hinting at deeper moisture issues. Recognizing the potential for mold, structural damage, and declining indoor air quality, they reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent, professional solution to protect their home from further damage.

Following a thorough inspection, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the unique challenges of the crawl space. We installed Drainage Matting to direct water flow, SilverGlo Insulation Panels for energy efficiency, and a powerful combination of our TripleSafe Sump Pump and SuperSump Premier Systems to manage groundwater. To protect the discharge line in freezing conditions, we added our IceGuard System, and encapsulated the entire crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. To ensure long-term humidity control, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed, creating a clean, dry, and healthy environment below the home.

The final result was a fully protected crawl space and a homeowner with renewed peace of mind!

Whether your sump pump runs a lot or not, it is important to have annual maintenance performed to ensure the system runs at peak performance, ready to provide protection from ground water intrusion. Service Technician Chris removed the airtight lid to access the SuperSump system. The pump was cleaned, the pump liner was cleaned and sanitized, and the system was flood tested. This system is capable of pumping up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour and ready to leave the homeowner free from worry! 

This Atlantic Highlands homeowner had a leaky basement which caused black mold to grow on his basement walls. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a full perimeter WaterGuard system with a SuperSump sump pump to waterproof the basement. EverLast wall panels were then installed to refinish the basement. EverLast is not made of organic materials so it will never grow mold!
