An Oakland, NJ homeowner found their basement walls bowing inwards and developing horizontal cracks. They knew it was a sign of foundation settlement, so they immediately contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We provided a thorough inspection of the basement walls and recommended the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System; which is designed to stabilized bowing foundation walls.

This crawl space of an Oakland, NJ home was suffering from an unhealthy and water-damaged environment. Over time, the saturated soil surrounding the home forced water inside the crawl space, resulting in unpleasant, musty conditions. The homeowner recognized this problem and the risk of further, more extensive damage to their home and turned to Quality 1st for a solution. Our team provided a complete crawl space encapsulation to waterproof the space, featuring our CleanSpace vapor Barrier. This was paired with new Drainage Matting lining the crawl space floor for water flow beneath the vapor barrier. The crawl space was insulated with our SilverGlo Insulation to waterproof the walls while maintaining a healthy environment beneath the home. Thanks to our crew, this new installation restores the health and longevity of the home to stay protected against water damage.

Slabs around a backyard patio began to shift and sink at a home in Oakland, NJ, leaving the surface uneven and hazardous. The homeowner, concerned about both safety and appearance, recognized the signs of concrete settlement and reached out to Quality 1st for help.

Concrete settlement like this is typically caused by changes in the soil underneath, such as poor compaction, moisture fluctuations, or erosion, that create voids and allow the concrete to sink. Understanding the need for a lasting solution, our team performed a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.

To address the issue, we recommended our advanced PolyLevel Foam Injection system. This minimally invasive technique involves injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the affected slabs. As the foam expands, it fills any empty space and gently lifts the concrete back to its original level.

The result is a stable, even surface that cures quickly and resists future sinking. Once the job was complete, the homeowner was left with a smooth, safe patio, and the peace of mind that comes with a permanent, reliable repair!

CleanSpace Liner, drainage matting, and SilverGlo were also installed in this crawlspace. Our full perimeter system which is called WaterGuard, a WaterGuard Port, and TripleSafe sump pump were also put in place at the residence in South Amboy.
