Due to a combination of ongoing moisture intrusion and shifting soils, this Scotch Plains, NJ homeowner was faced with foundation settlement and water seepage in their basement, leading them to contact Quality 1st for a lasting solution. To implement a reliable repair solution, our team carried out an extensive inspection and was able to create a customized approach that involved the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, IceGuard Discharge Line, and our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. With these advanced systems securely in place, we can ensure that foundation settlement and moisture-related issues will remain a worry of the past!

Foundation Settlement

Excess moisture and soil displacement around the foundation caused shifting pressure against the walls, leading to visible bowing and cracking, clear signs of foundation settlement and structural stress in this homeowner's basement.

During WaterGuard Install

We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter of the basement floor to capture wall and floor seepage, directing water to the sump pump before it can enter the living space.

Installing SuperSump Premier

The SuperSump Premier was placed in a specially excavated pit and connected to the drainage system, providing powerful and reliable water removal to keep the basement dry and protected.

WaterGuard Drainage System

WaterGuard offers a non-invasive, clog-resistant solution that effectively captures water at the foundation's edge, keeping basements dry without disturbing the slab or interior space.

SuperSump Premier

The SuperSump Premier delivers high-performance water removal with a durable, airtight lid and optional battery backup, ensuring dependable basement protection, even during heavy storms or power outages.

CarborArmor System

The crew installed our CarbonArmor System by first preparing and cleaning the affected basement walls, then applying high-strength carbon fiber straps directly to the surface using a powerful epoxy resin. Once secured, the straps were anchored to the floor joists with steel brackets, providing immediate stabilization and preventing further bowing or cracking.

IceGuard Discharge Line

The IceGuard Discharge Line was added to ensure water from the sump pump can safely exit the home even if the exterior discharge line becomes frozen or blocked, preventing backups and basement flooding during cold weather.

Dry And Stable

Thanks to the installation of these advanced foundation repair and waterproofing systems, this basement is now fully stabilized and protected from water intrusion. Structural issues have been addressed, moisture is being effectively managed, and the space has been restored to a dry, safe, and reliable environment!
