Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Quality 1st Basements was able to completely transform this unhealthy crawl space into a clean and stabilized space underneath this home. Our System Design Specialist, Steve V, recommended a full encapsulation system to keep the crawl space dry and healthy. In doing so, the crawl space now promotes cleaner air that the family can breathe throughout the home. SmartJack stabilizers were installed to add additional support to the failing crawl space beams causing settling on the first floor. 

Check out this crazy before and after of our Crawl Space Encapsulation project we completed in North Plainfield, NJ. The homeowner contacted us when they realized how nasty their crawl space had become over time. Not being down there that often, the space had become cold, damp and unhealthy. Our crew installed a full Vapor Barrier System to seal the crawl space off from any water, cold or humid drafts, and pests. The system has created a cleaner and healthier space underneath the home. 

A homeowner in North Plainfield, NJ discovered their basement walls were bowing inwards, creating cracks and damage. They needed to find a solution, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our System Design Specialist, inspected the walls and knew this was a foundation issue, so he suggested our PowerBrace System would be the perfect solution. The PowerBrace System contains steel brackets that help stabilize the basement walls, preventing any further damage. The installation was done by our foreman, Juan G., and crew. 

This Plainfield, NJ homeowner has been a Quality 1st customer for over ten years and has never had any issues with their sump pump system. Each year, our Quality 1st Basement Systems service team offers annual maintenance. It's important to have annual maintenance because it prolongs the lifespan of the system, and our team can also identify other home issues!

A homeowner in Plainfield, New Jersey was experiencing water coming in through their basement walls and floors. This happens because of the loose backfilled soil around the home's foundation. Over time, this loose soil becomes saturated during heavy rainfall and creates hydrostatic pressure, which pushes water and moisture through the walls. This can have many negative effects on the home's health such as dust mites, musty smells, mold growth, and increased heating and cooling bills.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman installed the WaterGuard Drain System which sits on top of the footing instead of alongside it. This keeps the wet dirt from getting into the drain because the drain does not sit in the mud. Next, the foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick like a pool liner and is placed along the basement wall. This system is a vapor barrier, drains water behind it and dramatically brightens the basement.
