Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Lake Hopatcong, NJ homeowner was interested in installing extra floor support in their crawl space, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. As a solution, we installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Each SmartJack is installed to the floor joist and beam to add additional support. Over time, this system can gradually raise the floor joist back towards their original position. 

A Tenafly, NJ homeowner noticed the first level of their home was sagging. Concern that something was wrong with the structure of their home, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an inspection with one of our Foundation experts. Mike F., met with the homeowner and did a full inspection of the crawl space below the first level. He noticed right away that the floor joist and crawl space beams showed signs of stress and lacked support. Overtime, this caused the floors on the first level of the home to settle.   As a solution, we installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. The system is designed to add additional support to the beams and floor joist, stabilizing the floors. 

The floors of this Flemington, NJ home were sinking and settling causing stress to the flooring on the first level. The homeowner was extremely concerned that ignoring this problem, the issues would get worse. They decided to reach out to  Quality 1st Basement Systems to have a Crawl Space Foundation expert out to do a proper inspect and provide them with a solution to securing their floor. System Design Specialist, Joe M, met with the homeowner, performed a full and thorough inspect, and recommended our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. SmartJacks are installed against the floor joist and crawl space beam to provide additional support to prevent movement. 

A homeowner in Robbinsville, NJ, was looking to repair their basement wall from bowing inwards, so they called Quality 1st Basement Systems to offer a solution to fix it. The wall movement was caused by hydrostatic pressure on the opposite side. To secure each foundation wall, carbon Armor Reinforcement systems are applied to each wall section with a special epoxy to secure the straps. This system will not affect the homeowner's plans to finish their basements in the future. 

In Baltimore, MD, a homeowner noticed signs of foundation settlement around their basement, including cracks in the walls and floors. As the settlement worsened, water intrusion became a growing issue, creating an unhealthy and unstable environment. Concerned about the long-term structural integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and solution. Our team responded promptly, conducting a thorough inspection to fully understand the extent of the damage and the underlying causes.

After assessing the situation, we developed a customized waterproofing and repair strategy. Our solution included the installation of the SmartJack Support System to stabilize and lift the settling foundation, effectively addressing the structural issues. Additionally, we installed our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent the discharge line from freezing during cold weather, ensuring proper water drainage year-round.

With these systems in place, the foundation was successfully stabilized, and the basement was transformed into a dry, stable, and healthy space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in their home’s long-term stability.
