What seemed like a musty smell and occasional dampness turned out to be a much bigger issue for a homeowner in Ocean City, NJ. Continuous moisture intrusion in the crawl space raised serious concerns about mold growth, wood rot, and the potential for long-term structural damage, not to mention the impact on indoor air quality throughout the home.
Understanding the urgency, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for help. Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection and quickly identified the sources of moisture and inefficiencies within the space.
To resolve the problem, we designed and implemented a customized crawl space waterproofing system. We installed our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels to provide superior thermal protection while helping to seal the space. Next, we encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which effectively blocks moisture from entering through the ground and walls. To complete the system, we added our energy-efficient SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which maintains healthy humidity levels and ensures clean, dry air circulation.
With these advanced solutions in place, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, insulated, and healthier environment, offering the homeowner long-term protection and peace of mind!

To improve the safety of their property, this homeowner contacted Quality 1st to lift and level their sinking concrete. Our PolyLevel team raised the concrete by injecting polyurethane foam into penny sized holes drilled into the slab. Once the concrete was leveled, the joints were sealed and the installation was complete. The sidewalk is now trip hazard free and safe for the homeowner and those coming to visit their home.
A resident in Somers Point, New Jersey was experiencing beginning stages of concrete settling to their walkway. Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, used the PolyLevel Injections to lift and stabilize the concrete. PolyLevel injections are done by drilling small, penny-sized holes in the slab and the polyurethane foam is injected into the voids in the concrete. This process is non invasive and will raise and level the concrete to its original position.
A homeowner in Somers Point, NJ noticed the floors on the first level of their home were beginning to sag. Concerned, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. Our Specialist, Joe, recommended additional support to the sagging floor beams. Our foreman, Jonathan and his crew installed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to support the beams inside the crawl space. SmartJacks are designed to stabilize weak crawl space beams, which support the floors of most standard homes. Once the crawl space beams are supported, the floors above are straightened. Peace of mind was restored to the homeowner once their floors were fully repaired.
