Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Oak Ridge, New Jersey noticed their concrete walkway was beginning to sink and settle. Soil becomes either too wet or too dry underneath the slab causing the concrete to shift and settle, creating uneven surfaces and dangerous tripping hazards.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek, was able to help them find a solution. He suggested a polyurethane foam be injected into the voids to lift the concrete. Our foreman, Victor Leon, installed the PolyLevel System. This is done by drilling tiny holes into the concrete slab and injecting the PolyLevel foam underneath. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about dangerous tripping hazards while walking into their home.

A resident in Oak Ridge, New Jersey noticed their basement walls were beginning to crack and bow inwards. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection and suggested they use a wall reinforcement system. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System which is made from a fiber-reinforced polymer. The straps are attached to the wall and secured with heavy-duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back towards its original position.

This homeowner in Oak Ridge, New Jersey noticed their basement was attracting water and moisture during heavy rainfall. To solve this, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. Our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey provided a thorough inspection of the home. Laszlo suggested they install a french drain system to prevent water from puddling on the basement floors. Our foreman, Jonathan Niera, began installing the WaterGuard Drain System throughout the basement. WaterGuard is installed below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing to be kept out of the mud zone. This will collect water when it seeps in from the floors and walls and will drain it to the sump pump.

Following a detailed inspection, our team pinpointed the exact source of the settlement and developed a fully customized repair plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.
