Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

If you notice cracking or bowing walls in your home, these may indicate foundation settlement, which can deteriorate over time. A homeowner in Pilesgrove, NJ, took action to address foundation settlement concerns after noticing these issues in their basement. We installed our heavy-duty PowerBrace Wall Repair System, which successfully stabilized the wall and enhanced the structural integrity of the entire space. As a result, the homeowner can now have peace of mind regarding the stability of their foundation.

A homeowner in Montclair, NJ was experiencing a musty odor originating from their crawl space and permeating their home. Acknowledging this issue, the homeowner sought a waterproofing solution to prevent moisture build-up that was contributing to the unpleasant smell. Our Quality 1st team provided an effective solution and was eager to assist.

The crawl space was encapsulated with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which lined both the floor and walls. Beneath the vapor barrier, our Drainage Matting was installed to promote water flow and prevent water from becoming trapped on the floor. CleanSpace is highly durable and is backed by a guarantee against mold or mildew growth. This system is designed to keep the crawl space dry and to mitigate further concerns regarding unpleasant odors or structural damage.

When a homeowner in Wildwood, NJ, noticed the uncomfortably high humidity levels in their crawl space were wreaking havoc not just there but in their whole house, they decided it was time for a change. We prescribed a combination of our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to encapsulate the crawl space, preventing moisture from invading the area. Next, SilverGlo panels were installed on the walls to insulate the space and reflect heat back into the crawl space, making it more energy-efficient. Finally, to actively control the humidity, we set up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier – a powerful, yet energy-efficient system designed specifically for areas like this. 

In Highland Park, NJ, a homeowner started observing cracking and bowing conditions along their basement walls, a clear indication of foundation settlement that was resulting in persistent water seepage. To avoid further structural deterioration and potential mold-growth, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent repair solution. 

Upon arrival, our team closely inspected the basement walls and were able to evaluate the most effective repair approach, our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. The team began installing CarbonArmor along the bowing basement walls by using a specially formulated epoxy, ultimately strengthening and fully stabilizing the walls to their original position. 

With CarbonArmor successfully in place, the homeowner noticed an almost immediate improvement in the structural integrity of the basement, providing them with a completely renewed sense of pride in their home!

We recently assisted this Bronx, NY, homeowner who was struggling with ongoing water seepage in their basement, which was the clear result of heavy rainfall. The homeowner started to worry that this issue could eventually lead to structural deterioration and mold-growth, prompting them to contact Quality 1st for a long-term waterproofing resolution. 

Once our team conducted a thorough evaluation on the basement, they were able to determine the most effective solution, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The crew securely installed TripleSafe, a system specially designed with three pumps and a backup battery system. Our TripleSafe pumps are built for reliability, providing continuous protection and preventing flooding, water damage, and costly repairs. With its robust design and multi-level backup system, TripleSafe offers peace of mind, keeping your home safe and dry, no matter the conditions.

With this powerful system installed, the homeowner noticed an immediate improvement and looked forward to enjoying a moisture-free basement for many years to come!
