Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Recently in Absecon, NJ, we had the privilege of assisting a homeowner who was facing a collection of concerns regarding their home's sustainability and safety. The call came to us after the homeowner noticed some shifting in their home’s foundation, comprised primarily of cinder blocks, as well as urgent needs for waterproofing and outside insulation. We proposed a tailored solution using CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and our SmartJack system. The CleanSpace liner was to be installed in the crawl space to provide a solid water vapor barrier, preventing future moisture or water damage. SilverGlo insulation panels were placed to enhance energy efficiency. To the pressing issue of the home’s shifting foundation, we deployed our SmartJack system, providing solid support to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation to its original position. 

A homeowner in Absecon, NJ needed a solution for the sinking patio in the backyard, so they called Quality 1st Basement System. Quality 1st installed PolyLevel System into the patio slabs that were settling to raise it back to level. PolyLevel is quick allowing for an easy installation and allows the homeowner to use the patio within 20 minutes after the installation is done. 

This homeowner had a concrete slab in their backyard that was beginning to crack. In order  to keep the concrete from shifting, our polylevel team sealed the cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.

A homeowner living in Plainfield, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basements for a solution to the water they were experiencing in their basement. System Design Specialist, Laura M. went out to meet with the homeowner, inspect the basement and design a permanent solution. 

Laura recommended a full perimeter waterproofing system to prevent future leaks and flooding of the basement. The WaterGuard drainage system would collect the water seepage and direct it straight to the SuperSump pump. Now the basement will stay dry and healthy! 

SmartJacks are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. This homeowner was experiencing sagging floors above their crawl space and so with the help of System Design Specialist, Kenny T and Foreman, Esau, Quality 1st  was able to install two SmartJacks to lift their floors back to their original position, providing them with a permanent solution.
