Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Baltimore, MD, a homeowner grew increasingly alarmed by visible signs of foundation settlement in their basement. Cracks had begun forming along the walls, and the floors were noticeably uneven, clear indicators of structural issues developing beneath the home. Concerned about the long-term stability and safety of their property, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and a lasting solution.

After conducting a detailed inspection, our team recommended the installation of the SmartJack Support System, an adjustable, high-strength steel pier system specifically engineered to stabilize and lift sagging floors. Our crew strategically placed the SmartJacks beneath the compromised support beams and adjusted them to raise the floors back to their proper position. The system not only corrected the existing issues but also reinforced the foundation to prevent further settlement.

With the SmartJacks in place, the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their basement was now secure, level, and protected for the future!

At this home in Towson, MD, the wall was bowing and beginning to buckle over time, which needed to be stabilized before more damage happens over time. We installed our PowerBrace Wall Repair, which is designed to stabilize and strengthen the failing wall. This system is quickly installed with no disruption and will permanently halt the inward movement of the fractured wall.

After noticing cracks forming in their basement wall, this homeowner from Glen Burnie, MD took proactive steps to prevent further damage. CarbonArmor reinforcement strips were installed to stabilize the cracked wall and stop it from bowing and worsening over time. Designed to be strong, low-profile, and minimally invasive, the system restored structural integrity without taking up valuable basement space. With the wall now secure, the homeowner can feel confident knowing their foundation is protected for the long term.

At this home in Glen Burnie, MD, the foundation wall was beginning to bow. It was in need of wall stabilization to prevent further bowing. Our team examined the foundation to determine the strategy of these steel beams and hold their current position without adjustment. Our team installed our PowerBrace Wall System that can stop buckling, wall tilting, and further damage, and even over time help straighten the wall over time.

What looked like minor wall cracks and sagging ceilings quickly became a major concern for a homeowner in Parkville, MD, as signs of foundation settlement became increasingly obvious. The basement walls were beginning to bow inward, and ceiling stress indicated that the structural integrity of the home was at risk. Wanting to prevent further damage and protect their investment, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution. After a full inspection, our team diagnosed the underlying issues and crafted a custom repair strategy to address both the foundation movement and ongoing water intrusion.

To stabilize the bowing walls, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, an innovative solution that uses ultra-strong carbon fiber straps bonded directly to the interior surface of the walls. This system stops further inward movement without the need for exterior excavation. Next, to address water seepage that was contributing to the foundation stress, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to intercept water before it reached the floor. We also added a TrenchDrain System at the basement entryway to capture surface water from external sources.

With these systems working together, the basement is now dry, secure, and structurally sound, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home!
