A Red Bank, NJ homeowner noticed their basement wall was bowing inwards and wanted to have a professional out to inspect the interior and exterior of their homes foundation. Fearful that their homes structure was moving, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to meet with one of our Foundation System Design Specialists. jack Huber, met with the Red Bank family, and performed a full inspection of the entre foundation. He measured the movement of the basement walls, noted each crack that he discovered and then presented the family with his discovery and solution!
He recommended installing the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System, which stabilizes bowing basement walls. Carbon Armor is applied to the wall with a strong epoxy so that it adheres to the wall permanently. These straps stop beginning stages of movement, securing the foundation walls into place and preventing future movement from hydrostatic pressure on the opposite side.
This basement was suffering from wall failure, indicated by the bowing walls and horizontal cracks. The Geo-Lock TM Wall Anchor system stabilizes walls through a periodic tightening process. This prevents further failure and can even potentially restore walls to their original positions!
A Morristown, NJ homeowner found large vertical cracks forming on the outside of their home's foundation. Quality 1st Basement Systems inspected the foundation and immediately knew it was settling. The cracks are signs of movement with the foundation due to the soil. Cracks form overtime and the foundation shifts and settles. To stabilize the foundation and prevent future settlement, Foundation Specialist, Laszlo, recommended our Push Pier System. As soon as you see signs your foundation may have shifted or settled, reach out to a Foundation expert right away, the longer you delay the more you will have to pay!
