Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Quality 1st Basement Systems provided a permanent solution for this homeowner in Betterton, MD. The concern in the unfinished basement was the lack of support and physical signs for sagging floor joist. Upon inspection we can see the floors above were sagging and showing serious signs of stress with wood splitting from the pressure overtime. As a solution, our Foundation Specialist, recommended PowerBrace and SmartJacks stabilizers be installed against the floor joist to provide additional support needed to prevent movement and more damage. 

This was a very tough, low crawl space with lots of dampness. We had to clean it out first and remove all the organic material. Then we installed a drainage system with a SmartSump to deal with the water issues. The floor and walls were covered with our Cleanspace Encapsulation System to keep the moisture from the ground from evaporating into the air. The result is a transformed, dry, and safe crawl space.

For this job, we came out to the customer's home and replaced the current cinder blocks they used as a support system with our SmartJack System. Smart Jacks are adjustable supports that provide support to sagging floors and also lift and restore them to their original position.

This customer had a large project including basement Waterproofing, Finishing and Egress installation. This part of the project was the Egress window, we had to replace the customer's current standard basement window with a Slider Egress as well as a RockWell and RockWell Cover.

In this crawl space, the uneven dirt was in need of excavation to encapsulate the entire space. We excavated the dirt out of the crawl space and leveled the ground to install our CleanSpace Encapsulation System.  Once the system was installed, we also wrapped each pier with our Vapor Barrier and placed SilverGlo insulated wall panels around the foundation, which then completely encapsulated the dirt crawl space.
