Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We recently assisted a homeowner in Wayne, NJ, who grew increasingly concerned after noticing the concrete around their backyard pool deck had begun to sink and shift. What was once a smooth, inviting space had become uneven and hazardous, posing a risk to both safety and the overall look of their outdoor oasis. Wanting a reliable, long-lasting fix, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st.

Our System Design Specialist performed a detailed inspection to uncover the cause, voids and unstable soil beneath the slab, and crafted a personalized repair strategy to restore the area without the need for a full replacement.

To bring the deck back to life, our crew used PolyLevel Foam Injections, a cutting-edge solution that lifts and stabilizes sunken concrete by expanding beneath the surface to fill voids. Once the concrete was leveled, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro, a flexible, UV-resistant sealant designed to guard against moisture and prevent future settlement.

The transformation was immediate, restoring not just the structure, but the homeowner’s peace of mind. With their pool deck now level, safe, and visually appealing, they can enjoy their backyard with confidence once again!

Concrete settlement had turned a once-enjoyable backyard patio in Wayne, NJ into an uneven, unsafe surface that the homeowner could no longer use comfortably. Tired of dealing with tripping hazards and worsening decay, they turned to Quality 1st for help.

After a careful assessment, the team recommended and installed our PolyLevel Foam Injections, a precise and minimally invasive method that lifts and stabilizes sunken concrete by injecting high-density foam beneath the slabs. Within hours, the patio was level and structurally sound again.

To address the underlying drainage issues that contributed to the settlement, our crew also installed a TrenchDrain System around the perimeter of the patio. This system efficiently redirects water away from the slab, preventing pooling and erosion that can cause future sinking.

Together, these upgrades didn’t just fix the immediate problem, they restored the patio’s appearance and extended its lifespan. The homeowner now enjoys a safe, attractive outdoor space that’s built to resist future wear and weather-related damage!

Moisture problems had become a serious concern for a homeowner in Wayne, NJ, as water intrusion in their crawl space began to compromise both the structural integrity of their home and the indoor air quality. Seeking a comprehensive and lasting solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st.

After a thorough inspection, our waterproofing specialists crafted a customized plan to address every aspect of the issue. The first step was installing our patented StarPipe Drainage System, designed to capture groundwater and direct it away from the foundation. We then added SilverGlo Insulation Panels and Drainage Matting to enhance moisture control and boost energy efficiency within the crawl space. To remove any collected water efficiently, we installed our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, built specifically for the demands of crawl space environments. The final phase of the project involved encapsulating the entire area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which creates a thick, durable seal to block moisture, mold, and pests.

With all systems in place, the once-problematic crawl space was transformed into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, knowing their home is protected from future water damage and the air their family breathes is healthier!

Removing up to 109 liters of water per day, the SaniDry XP needs to be kept in tiptop running shape! Quality 1st recommends annual maintenance to do so. Randy, one of Quality 1st's Service Technician is well-practiced in helping customers maintain the powerful dehumidifier and air filtration system running efficiently. The coils, drain line, and drip pan are cleaned; the drain line is flushed; the refrigerant level is checked; and, sensors are tested. Additionally, Randy knows the importance of replacing the air filters as they serve to remove particles as small as 2 microns. Annual service is a part of wet basement solutions and a healthier living environment. 

This Rahway homeowner noticed that he had a horizontal crack in the outside of his foundation. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor with ArmorLock to stabilize the foundation and stop movement of the foundation wall. This home is now safe and stable!
