Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Recently a homeowner in Elmer NJ expressed concerns about water seepage in their basement. Right away they knew who to reach out to, the experienced team of experts at Quality 1st! Our system design specialist arrived ready to assess the necessary route to ensure zero chances of water leakage in the future. They were able to determine that the owner's current sump pump and dehumidifier weren't up to the required task and could no longer handle the capacity of water entering the space. Next, our foreman and his crew reached the premise and began installing our heavy-duty TripleSafe Sump Pump, providing the owner with three levels of protection, as well as our specially patented WaterGuard French Drainage System, along with our top of the line ultra fortified SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. These systems will provide this homeowner with total assurance and confidence that their storage space will continue to stay clean and dry for many years to come!

This homeowner from Elmer, NJ needed waterproofing for their basement. There was water leaking in through various places including the windows which was deteriorating the walls. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended IceGuard, PowerBrace, TripleSafe, and SunHouse Window Well. 

PowerBrace was installed on the walls to support the structure. TripleSafe was installed to take on heavy amounts of water and with its three pumps. SunHouse was installed by the window with its protective lid to seal off the basement window preventing leaks from further damaging the wall. Finally, IceGuard was applied on the discharge line to keep the system from freezing during the winter months. 

The homeowner now has peace of mind that their basement is safe from moisture and is structurally secure. 

Recently, in Elmer, NJ, subtle shifts and cracks along the basement walls quickly escalated into a pressing concern for one homeowner, raising questions about the long-term safety and stability of their property. Understanding the potential risks posed by foundation settlement, they sought out Quality 1st Basement Systems for a comprehensive, lasting solution.

Our System Design Specialist, John, conducted a meticulous inspection, carefully assessing the condition of the walls and the underlying soil. Through his evaluation, he was able to pinpoint the precise cause of the settlement, providing the foundation for a customized repair plan that addressed the home’s unique structural challenges.

Leveraging this insight, our team implemented the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, a durable, high-strength solution designed to stabilize and support vulnerable basement walls. The installation process was strategically executed to restore the structural integrity of the home while minimizing disruption to the household. By reinforcing the walls with this engineered system, we not only resolved the immediate settlement issues but also delivered long-term protection against future movement.

The homeowner gained not just a secure and stabilized basement, but also the confidence and peace of mind that come from knowing their home is structurally sound and professionally safeguarded!

This Elmer, New Jersey Homeowner, contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems through the internet to have a foundation specialist out to provide a thorough inspect of their floor joist in their basement. Javier Romero, did a full walkthrough with the homeowner and noticed multiple areas that lacked the proper support to the floor joist. Some of the basement columns were showing serious sign of stress holding the weight of the floor above. 

Javier recommended SmartJacks be installed against the floor joist. This system provides additional support to the floor joist and wooden beam to ensure the floor above is secured in place. This prevents damage to the floor, the molding and any damage to the wood such as splitting.
