Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Have you observed any bowing or horizontal cracks in your foundation walls? These may indicate that your home is not receiving adequate support from the foundation, which could lead to further weakening over time. This was the situation for a residence in Manalapan, NJ, where we implemented a foundation support system. We used our CarbonArmor Straps to provide a permanent solution for the compromised foundation. CarbonArmor is a flexible carbon fiber strap that is securely bonded to walls using a robust epoxy resin, ensuring a permanent installation. With this solution in place, the home will maintain the necessary support from its foundation.

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!

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.
