Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Jenkintown, PA noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to meet with a Foundation expert. We sent Foundation expert, Mike PettyJohn out to perform a full inspection and provide the best recommendation. Based on the foundation wall movement and the cracks that had formed, he determined  Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the best solution. 

When a Jenkintown, PA homeowner noticed water consistently overflowing from their gutters and pooling around the base of their home, they knew it was more than just a seasonal nuisance, it was a sign of a serious drainage issue. Clogged gutters were preventing proper water flow, raising concerns about moisture infiltration and potential foundation damage. Looking for a long-term, maintenance-free solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for expert help.

After a detailed inspection, our team recommended the installation of our Gutter Guard System to permanently address the issue. We began by thoroughly cleaning the existing gutters to ensure optimal performance, then securely installed the Gutter Guards to keep out leaves, twigs, and other debris. This system allows water to flow smoothly through the gutters and away from the foundation, even during heavy rainfall.

With the Gutter Guards now in place, the homeowner can trust that their drainage system is working efficiently, eliminating overflow and reducing the risk of water-related damage to their home!

Quality 1st Basements installed Carbon Armor Wall Reinforcing System against the bowing foundation walls of this Woodbury, NJ home. CarbonArmor strips are made of fiber reinforced polymers that are 10 times stronger then steel! The straps area attached to the wall using high strength epoxy resin. They are secured to the wall with heavy duty sett brackets. not only with this system stabilize the wall but over time it can gradually bring the wall back towards its original state. CarbonArmor installs quickly and requires no exterior excavation and will not impact future basement finishing projects.  

A homeowner from Woodbury, NJ was noticing sinking and settling of her walkway concrete of about 3 inches. This sinkage created a huge crack in his walkway step and the concrete was overall unstable. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basements to help lift up her settled concrete. Our PolyLevel foam was injected beneath the sunken concrete to lift and stabilize the concrete. Next, our team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and prevent water from wearing down the concrete. The homeowner finally had a stable walkway that was ready to be walked on just 15 minutes after curing!

This Woodbury, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering their concrete walkway was sinking. We had our Systems Design Specialist, Chris Bowe, inspect the premises. Afterward, Chris presented his findings to the homeowner and suggested the Polylevel Injection Method would be the perfect solution for the homeowner. 

Polylevel is a better solution than mudjacking because it is stronger, and provides a long-lasting solution. Unlike mudjacking, polylevel is waterproof, environmentally friendly, and recovers within fifteen minutes. The installation process is less messy and will not ruin the look of the concrete. Since the installation, the concrete walkway had not sunk, and the homeowner was fully satisfied.
