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!
A homeowner in Lancaster, PA, grew increasingly frustrated as signs of foundation settlement began to appear in their basement. Uneven floors and growing cracks along the walls made it clear that the problem was more than just cosmetic, it was a structural concern that could worsen over time. Unwilling to let the damage continue unchecked, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, permanent solution.
After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified the root of the issue and recommended the installation of our SmartJack Support System. This durable, adjustable steel pier system is specifically designed to stabilize and lift sagging floors caused by foundation settlement. Once installed, the SmartJacks effectively raised the basement floors back to their proper level and provided the critical support needed to prevent future settlement.
The homeowner was thrilled with the results and finally had peace of mind knowing their home’s foundation was secure and protected for the long term!
This customer had a finished basement and started to notice cracks along the drywall, concerned this could be a major issue, they reached out to us to assess.
When arriving at the property, the drywall had already been removed and you could see a noticeable horizontal crack going through the foundation wall. Our solution for this was our Carbon Armor Wall Stabilization Straps.
The Carbon Armor system is 10x stronger than steel but flexible enough to form tightly against the basement wall. The straps are secured to the floor joist and is ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing walls
