A homeowner in Seaside Park, NJ noticed their floors were sagging, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to find a solution. Our System Design Specialist arrive to the home, on time, and provided a full inspection and quote for the homeowner.

SmartJacks are installed against the sagging beam to provide additonal support. This system is adjustable and so over time the beams can be brought back towards their original level.
This homeowner in Seaside Park, New Jersey noticed a musty odor coming from their crawl space. They were experiencing dampness and moisture and called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. Our System Design Specialist, Mike DiVirgilio, helped the homeowner solve this issue. Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, and his crew installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This system will stop vapor from flowing up from the soil, stop vapor from coming in from the walls, and gives the appearance of looking bright and clean. Now the homeowner does not have to worry about mold, moisture, or bugs in their crawlspace.
A homeowner in Seaside Park, New Jersey noticed the floors in their home were sagging, their walls were cracking, and the main beams in the crawl space were unsound. These are all the symptoms of foundation settlement. When a crawl space is built, block columns could be spaced too far apart, which can lead to overloading and sagging between the columns. Weak soil can also cause the existing columns to sink or settle, which creates a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder it was supporting. This can pose as a safety issue not only to the homeowner, but to the home as well.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement System and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to help them come up with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested steel support system to help stabilize the foundation. Our foremen installed the SmartJack System, which do not replace the existing columns, but they help to bring strength and stability to the foundation. This process is done by assembling the steel beams into the soil. The support beams and floor joists are immediately stabilized and the above floors and walls will be lifted and stabilized. The support system is engineered to support large homes and load-bearing wall construction.
This homeowner in Seaside Park, New Jersey noticed their concrete was sinking and becoming unlevel. This can happen when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the concrete that cause it to settle. We sent our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe, to provide an inspection, and Chris suggested our PolyLevel Injections. Our foreman Ramon used PolyLevel which is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. PolyLevel will bring the concrete to a raised position and will eliminate any tripping hazards!
