Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The slab in front of the steps at this Rockaway, NJ home was sinking and settling. Jeff and the team worked together to raise the existing slab back to level with PolyLevel. This polyurethane is a lightweight and environmentally friendly foam that provides additional support to the soil.

Our Quality 1st Basement Systems service team provided annual maintenance for this homeowner in Rockaway, New Jersey. It's strongly recommended that homeowners provide annual care for their sump pump system, so their home can be fully protected against water damage for years.

Caring for a sump pump is essential because it ensures the system has an extended lifespan. Our Quality 1st Basement Systems service team provided annual maintenance for this homeowner in Rockaway, New Jersey. Now, their home will stay protected against water intrusion. 

In Rockaway, NJ, a homeowner observed signs of foundation settlement on the side of their home, with visible cracks in the walls and floors that were becoming increasingly uneven. The shifting foundation was beginning to cause doors and windows to stick, which raised serious concerns about the structural integrity of the property.

After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a thorough inspection and recommended our specially patented Helical Pier System as the best solution. The installation process involved driving steel piers deep into soil to anchor and lift the foundation back to its original position, stabilizing the structure permanently.

Once the piers were fully installed and the home was leveled, the homeowner was extremely relieved to have their property restored to a safe, stable condition, eliminating further settlement risks and ensuring long-term foundation protection!

Due to ongoing basement moisture and musty odors, a Rockaway, NJ homeowner grew increasingly concerned about the risk of structural decay and mold growth threatening their home. Realizing the issue was more than a nuisance, they contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection and quickly identified multiple sources of water intrusion, including seepage through the foundation walls and at surface-level entry points. With these insights, we developed a comprehensive and customized waterproofing plan to tackle the issue at its source.

Our solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement’s perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage and redirect it before it could cause damage. To address surface water at entry points like stairways or doors, we added a TrenchDrain System for targeted protection. At the heart of the system, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, offering three levels of pumping power, including a battery backup, for consistent performance during storms or power outages. Finally, our IceGuard Discharge Line was connected to ensure water could exit the system even in freezing conditions.

With this multi-layered solution in place, the basement is now dry, secure, and protected year-round, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind and confidence in the health of their home!
