Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

After noticing increased humidity and a persistent musty smell in their home, a Manahawkin, NJ homeowner suspected an issue below the surface. A closer look revealed excessive moisture buildup in the crawl space, which had begun to threaten the integrity of the floor joists and raise concerns about potential mold growth. Understanding the risks to both their home's structure and their family's health, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent and professional solution.

Our team performed a comprehensive inspection and recommended the installation of the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This high-performance liner was carefully sealed along the crawl space floor, walls, and piers to lock out moisture and create a protective envelope. The system not only prevents water intrusion but also helps control humidity, reducing the risk of mold, wood rot, and poor air quality.

Following the installation, the crawl space was completely transformed into a dry, stable, and healthier environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and greater protection for their home’s future!

In Manahawkin, NJ, a homeowner began to notice sinking and uneven concrete along their front sidewalk, a problem caused by increased moisture levels and soil displacement beneath the surface. These conditions not only compromised the sidewalk’s appearance but also created potentially hazardous walking conditions. Concerned about safety and curb appeal, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st to find a reliable and effective solution.

Our team responded with a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of the settlement and identify the underlying causes, ensuring we could develop a tailored repair plan to meet the homeowner’s needs.

To address the issue, we utilized our patented PolyLevel Foam Injection system, which involved injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the sunken concrete slabs. This foam expanded to fill soil voids and gently lifted the slabs back to their original level, stabilizing the surface quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption. After lifting the concrete, we applied our UV-resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant along the joints to prevent future moisture infiltration and protect against cracking or further displacement.

The combined use of PolyLevel and NexusPro restored the sidewalk to a smooth, level, and safe condition, providing the homeowner with a durable, long-lasting solution that enhances both safety and curb appeal!

SmartJacks could be a fix for sagging or uneven floors above a crawlspace area.

The homeowner is left with level floors above the crawlspace and peace of mind!
