Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

After heavy downpours of rain, water would come up through the floor of this basement in Forked River, NJ. Large puddles would form, causing the basement to become cold, damp and musty. Quality 1st Basement Systems fully waterproofed the basement, keeping it dry and healthy!

A homeowner in Lacey Townnship, New Jersey noticed that their concrete slab around their pool was sinking about 2 to 3 inches. This happens when the weight of the concrete and water become too much for the soil to bear. Quality 1st used PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam, to raise the concrete back to its original position. Within 30 minutes, the foam begins to expand and lift the concrete. The homeowners were very pleased with their improved area around their pool.   

A homeowner in Lacey Township, New Jersey noticed a crack in one of their basement walls. After doing some research online, they came across a before and after from the Quality 1st Basements website of a foundation with similar cracks. Looking no further they called right away for an estimate. A the time of the estimate, the Foundation Repair Specialist did a full evaluation of the basement and noticed two smaller staircase cracks along with the visible crack the homeowners first noticed. 

the Foundation Repair Specialist recommend CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution for cracking foundation walls. CarbonArmor are strips made from a fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall and secured with heavy duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position. This system installs quickly and will prevent future problems. 

Quality 1st Basements removed this giant trip hazard in the pool area of this home in Lacey Township, NJ. Our team injected PolyLevel foam beneath the sinking slabs, to raise and stabilize them. The installation begins with the team drilling small penny-size holes into each sinking slab. Using special equipment, the PolyLevel foam is then injected underneath to fill the void between the concrete and soil. The foam expands then hardens, lifting the concrete slab back towards its original position.
