Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Edgewater, MD, grew increasingly concerned about signs of foundation settlement in their crawl space, after observing uneven floors and sagging support beams. Recognizing that the issue could lead to further damage, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional solution.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and recommended the installation of our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System, which provides strong, adjustable support to weakened beams. The system was carefully installed, effectively stabilizing the foundation and lifting the beams back into position.

As a result, the homeowner was able to restore their crawl space to a stable, healthy, and inviting condition, ensuring long-term protection for their home!

In Dundalk, MD, a homeowner began noticing signs of foundation settlement in their basement, including uneven floors and weakened support beams that were putting the structure of the home at risk. Concerned about potential further damage and the safety of their home, they reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable solution to restore stability to their basement. After assessing the situation, our team recommended installing the SmartJack Reinforcement System to address the foundation issues and prevent any further settlement.

Our experts quickly installed the SmartJack system, strategically placing adjustable steel piers beneath the weakened beams to lift and stabilize the foundation. With its durable, corrosion-resistant design, SmartJack provided immediate support, lifting the beams back to their original position and reinforcing the structure for the long term.

The installation not only restored the basement to a stable and safe condition but also gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing that their home was now protected from further foundation issues!

This customer already had foundation repair done on one side of her basement, then little by little the other side started to show signs of cracking throughout the block foundation. Worried about those foundation cracks, she reached out to us for help.

We came out and installed 11 Carbon Armor Strips. The Carbon Armor Strips contour tightly against the foundation wall and straps to the floor joist making a quick stabilization process for bowing or leaning walls. 

This basement had a bowing wall, causing cracking and separation of the block. We installed the PowerBrace wall stabilization system to permanently stabilize this home's foundation wall. It comes with a 25-year warranty against further bowing, tipping or shearing. In addition, this system has the ability to be tightened periodically over time, putting reverse pressure on the bowing wall, which helps to straighten it. We also installed ThermalWall vapor barrier to keep moisture out and the warm air in.

Recently in Joppa, MD, a homeowner was growing increasingly concerned as moisture continued to infiltrate their basement and subtle signs of foundation settlement began to appear. Cracks along the walls and a lingering dampness raised red flags, signaling that without intervention, the situation could evolve into serious structural damage and mold infestation. Recognizing the urgency, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution. After a thorough inspection, our team identified the underlying issues and crafted a targeted plan to address both the moisture problems and the shifting foundation.

To combat the dual threat, we installed our SilverGlo Insulation Panels, designed to reflect heat, resist moisture, and enhance overall energy efficiency. These high-performance panels create a protective thermal barrier that keeps the basement dry and comfortable year-round. To reinforce the structural integrity of the home, we also implemented our PowerBrace Wall Repair System, an adjustable, steel I-beam solution that permanently stabilizes and supports bowing or cracked foundation walls.

With these durable systems in place, the basement is now fully protected from further water damage and structural movement, allowing the homeowner to feel confident and secure in their home once again!
