Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In Manalapan, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us after noticing vertical cracks in their basement foundation wall. With an eye for detail, our specialist diagnosed the problem and recommended our proven FlexiSpan crack repair system, adept at addressing such foundational concerns. First, we prepared the crack for treatment by applying a flexible sealant along its entire length. Then, a strip of flexible and porous foam was installed, followed by an impermeable membrane adhered securely to the wall. This meticulous process ensures that future seepage is managed efficiently, funneling any excess water safely to the basement’s perimeter drainage system.

A homeowner in Manalapan, NJ began to notice uneven and sunken concrete slabs surrounding their backyard pool deck, an issue that had gradually worsened due to a combination of poorly compacted fill soil and consistent moisture exposure. The resulting concrete settlement not only created tripping hazards but also significantly reduced the aesthetic appeal of their outdoor living space. Concerned about safety and long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and solution.

After a comprehensive inspection, our team determined that the most effective approach would be to utilize our patented PolyLevel Foam Injection System. This innovative method involves injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the settled concrete, where it expands to fill voids and gently lifts the slabs back to their original level. The process is minimally invasive, fast-curing, and highly effective in stabilizing compromised concrete.

Once the PolyLevel was in place, the pool deck was fully restored, safe, level, and visually enhanced, providing the homeowner with peace of mind and a revitalized outdoor area built to withstand the elements!

When ongoing moisture began compromising the basement of a home in Manalapan, NJ, the homeowner quickly realized that professional intervention was essential to protect both the health of the space and the structural integrity of their home. Concerned about the potential for further foundation settlement and mold growth, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent and reliable solution. Our System Design Specialist, Jeff, conducted a thorough inspection, carefully evaluating water intrusion points, basement wall conditions, and underlying structural vulnerabilities. By identifying the exact sources of moisture and stress on the foundation, Jeff was able to develop a targeted repair and waterproofing plan tailored specifically to the home’s needs.

This dynamic solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, paired with our SuperSump Premier and TripleSafe Sump Pumps to provide reliable, multi-layered water removal. An IceGuard Discharge Line ensured year-round drainage without risk of freezing, while a SaniDry Dehumidifier maintained optimal humidity levels to improve indoor air quality. To stabilize the structure, Helical Piers were installed to reinforce the foundation, and our SmartJack Support System provided additional wall support.

Together, these high-performance systems transformed the basement into a dry, secure, and structurally sound environment, delivering long-term reliability, protection against future water and settlement issues, and lasting peace of mind for the homeowner!

An inspector was sent to this Haskell home regarding sagging and cold floors. The inspector determined that the sagging floors were due to insufficient support in the crawl space. The cold floors and drafts were due to an uninsulated crawl space. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SmartJacks to support the foundation. CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier and SilverGlo crawl space insulation were installed to seal off the crawl space keeping the cold air out of the crawl space. The homeowner no longer has sagging floors, and the temperature of his home has improved! 

The crawl space of this Haskell, NJ home had been previously "waterproofed" by another company. The vapor barrier that was placed in the crawl space did not work and actually made a more unhealthy environment. Water was pooling under the plastic. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier throughout the crawl space to seal it off from the cold concrete walls and moist dirt floors.
