Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner in the Skillman, NJ noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards. They were concerned for the integrity of their foundation and wanted an opinion from a foundation specialist. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent Foundation Specialist Mike, to inspect the basement walls and provide a solution. Upon inspection, Mike noticed the horizontal cracking was a major sign of foundation movement which happens as temperatures outside change. Our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System stabilizes the basement wall and prevents future movement. CarbonArmor, is the perfect solution because once installed, they are a permanent fix. This system will not effect the option of finishing the basement in the future if the family decides! 

Poor soil compaction combined with persistent moisture intrusion caused the concrete around a backyard pool deck in Skillman, NJ to sink and crack, creating dangerous tripping hazards and diminishing the overall appearance of the patio. The homeowner, concerned not only about safety but also the value and aesthetic of their outdoor space, reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable and lasting solution.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection of the site, identifying the underlying issues and tailoring a repair strategy specifically for the property’s conditions.

To address the settlement, we utilized our innovative PolyLevel Foam Injection system, which lifts and stabilizes the sunken concrete by filling voids beneath the slab with a lightweight, high-density foam. To further enhance the durability and finish of the repair, our crew applied NexusPro Joint Sealant, a UV-resistant product designed to protect against water infiltration and cracking.

The result was a beautifully leveled and safe pool deck that not only resolved the homeowner’s concerns but also significantly elevated the visual appeal of their backyard. With the project completed, the homeowner was left with a renewed sense of pride and confidence in their outdoor living space!

Ongoing water intrusion had turned a Skillman, NJ basement into a damp, musty environment that the homeowner could no longer enjoy or rely on for storage or living space. Frustrated by recurring moisture after every rainfall and concerned about potential mold growth and damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution. After a detailed inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan to target the root of the problem and protect the basement from future water issues.

The project began with the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, placed just below the floor slab to intercept water at its entry point and direct it to our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This powerful sump system provides triple the protection with a primary, secondary, and battery backup pump to ensure 24/7 reliability. To further prevent flooding, our crew added the IceGuard Discharge Line attachment, which allows water to escape even if the exterior pipe becomes frozen. Finally, we installed EverLast Wall Panels to replace damaged lower wall sections, offering a clean, waterproof finish that resists mold and rot.

The result was a dry, comfortable basement and a homeowner who could once again feel confident in the health and safety of their home!
