Mike Fiorillo

When Basement Design Specialist Mike Fiorillo met with this customer about sagging floors in the home above the crawl space, he proposed a permanent solution to his foundation issues. The SmartJack Support System, which includes corrosion-resistant galvanized steel adjustable support columns that can support over 60,000 lbs.were installed by foreman Jonathan Neira and his crew to provide immediate and permanent stabilization and to restore stability.     

While having a sump pump is important, having the right sump pump to handle the job is paramount. This customer had his sump pump replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump system which consists of two cast-iron pumps in one liner as well as a third battery run pump for emergencies. The TripleSafe was designed with an airtight, waterproof lid and comes with a WaterWatch Alarm to alert the homeowner to a non-functioning pump.

System Design Specialist Mike Fiorillo visited this customer regarding a new waterproofing system. The dark orange sludge-like residue indicated that a regular WaterGuard System wouldn't do the trick; this customer needed WaterGuard IOS which is specially designed to handle the heavy iron ochre. Foreman Wilver Cardoza and his crew installed the system with an extra wide channel, larger drainage openings, and a removable lid for easy access and maintenance cleaning. 

This Princeton, NJ homeowner wanted to make their basement a more usable space by installing walls and floors that would create an appearance of a more finished basement.

Dan, a homeowner in Manchester Township, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basements when he noticed his crawl space was damp. He had high humidity since his crawl space vents were open allowing moisture and humidity to travel inside and effect the space underneath his home. 

System Design Specialist, Mike F. recommended our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal the crawl space off from water, moisture and mold. 

Foreman, Victor and his team also installed 3 vent covers to prevent unwanted humidity and cold drafts from entering along with a new window to prevent water seepage. 

After this basement flooded damaging all the dry wall, Quality 1st Basement Systems removed and replaced the dry wall with our Wall Restoration System. With built-in insulation the wall panels create a more comfortable environment. Since they are waterproof, they will not grow mold, or become damaged from any water leaks or flooding in the future. 

Peace of mind is exactly why this homeowner contacted us for a solution to their sagging floors. Right away they knew their crawl space needed to be checked by a professional when noticing their floor on the first level of their home began to settle. 

Mike Fiorillo, our crawl space specialist, inspected the crawl space beams and floor joist. He suggested our SmartJack System to supply additional support to the crawl space beams that were causing the floors to sag. 

Our Crew installed 20 SmartJacks to support the floor joists and over all protect the crawl space structure. The homeowners now had peace of mind that their floors weren't going to settle further. 

This customer was experiencing some high humidity levels in his finished basement and met with Design Specialist Mike Fiorillo to discuss options to resolve the issue. Foreman Mario Barron and his crew installed a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier and Air Filtration System (which can remove particles as small as 2 microns from the air). This system reduces humidity, reducing the chance for dampness and mold. The SaniDry XP was installed in the customer's utility room but was ducted into the finished area where the family spends time.

When this Plainfield, NJ homeowner realized their system had failed and could no longer protect their home, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist, Mike F. recommended our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, Back-up Battery and our Sanidry Dehumidifier. 

Our System Design Specialist Mike F inspected and provided the homeowner with a proposal. Senior Foreman, Jonathan N. and his team installed our CarbonArmor Foundation Stabilization System in this Matawan, NJ home. The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. The straps will stabilize the wall. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

SmartJack Crawl Space Support System includes corrosion-resistant galvanized steel adjustable support columns to provide immediate and permanent stabilization.  After the installation by foreman Juan Garcia and his crew, the customer would have no worries about the integrity of his foundation.   

This homeowner never had serious issues with water, but with the recent heavy rains, their basement had been consistently flooding. The sump pump that they had was no longer keeping the basement dry, and the homeowner knew it was time for an upgrade. They did not have a drainage system of any sort- which is why the water was not making it to their pump.

System Design Specialist, Mike F. explained that in order for the water to get to the pump, they would need a full perimeter WaterGuard System installed as well. WaterGuard collects any water seeping in through the basement walls or floor and directs it towards the sump pump. Mike also suggested the homeowner have the TripleSafe Sump Pump installed.

The TripleSafe Sump Pump offers three times the protection to ensure that the homeowner will never have to worry about water in their basement again. It is equipped with 3 pumps and a backup battery that will keep it running even if the power goes out. 

Porous cold concrete block walls in a crawl space in Carteret, NJ were covered with SilverGlo Wall Panels to provide energy-efficient insulation. The panels (installed by Victor Leon and his crew) are secured to the concrete walls with fasteners. 

When the customer had Design Specialist Mike Fiorillo visit to inspect their crawl space, a replacement access door for the crawl space was discussed. Foreman Victor Leon and his crew installed a new Everlast Crawl Space door, airtight, waterproof, and made from inorganic materials so it will not rot or rust and never needs to be painted.

This customer wanted to prevent water and moisture from coming into their crawl space. Foreman Victor Leon and his crew installed the durable CleanSpace Liner over the concrete crawl space floor to help accomplish those goals. The white liner also brightened up the space. 

Check out this garage waterproofing job we completed in Staten Island, NY. The homeowner reached out to us with concerns of water in their garage. We sent System Design Specialist, Mike F. out to provide the homeowner with a system that would provide the ultimate protection. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump 
System has many features that will provide your home with long lasting protection. We have three pumps that sit instead a protective liner, an airtight lid to keep water vapor inside the container, an alarm system and a floor drain just incase an emergency arises. 

WaterGuard Drainage System is designed to be installed on the house's footing along the perimeter of the basement. If there is an obstacle that cannot be removed, Quality 1st Basements System's installation team can install the WaterGuard channel around the obstacle (like the radiator in this home in Clifton, NJ) to provide a continuous path for water to channel toward the sump pump.

If the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system is designed to be installed along basement walls, what happens when you get to an opening, like an exterior basement door entrance? As shown here, installed by foreman Juan Garcia and his crew for this customer in Clifton, NJ, a TrenchLock TrenchDrain is connected to the WaterGuard on both sides of the doorway (beneath the floor). Designed with a grated opening and a removable lid to clear debris, it provides a continuous pathway for the water to move to the sump pump.

When it comes to your basement, you want a sump pump system that has it all. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System has three pumps that sit inside a protective liner to prevent damage or clogging. Our system has an airtight lid to prevent water vapor from evaporating back into the basement along with an alarm system to alert the homeowner of any issues. 

When water sits in the crawl space area, a waterproofing system can resolve the issue. A complete waterproofing system with SmartPipe, SmartSump, Drainage Matting, and CleanSpace Liner as installed here by foreman Esau Aquino and his crew delivered new hope to this customer with the resulting drier, cleaner, healthier crawl space area.

To control water infiltration in a crawl space, a reliable waterproofing system includes Drainage Matting, a dimpled surface placed on the crawl space floor to permit water to be channeled toward drainage and sump pump system. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier (a white, durable, 20-mil polyethylene liner) is placed over the Drainage Matting to prevent water vapors from passing through which ultimately leads to a drier crawl space area.

After their existing sump pump failed, causing their basement to flood, this homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a solution.

This customer needed a sump pump replacement that could handle the water issues in the basement.

Peeling and flaking paint on this customer's basement floor was just one indicator of water and moisture getting into the home. Basement Design Specialist Mike Fiorillo proposed the full-perimeter WaterGuard, expertly manufactured to channel and direct any water seepage to the sump pump. This drainage system is installed on the footing beneath the basement floor and then concreted back over, as was done by foreman Juan Garcia and his crew.
