Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After enduring weeks of heavy rainfall, a Philadelphia, PA homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement, sagging support beams, uneven floors, and a growing sense of instability. Concerned that these were signs of foundation settlement, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted an extensive inspection and confirmed that water-saturated soil around the home had caused the foundation to shift, compromising the structural support within the basement.

To resolve the issue, we designed a targeted repair plan that addressed both the cause and the damage. We installed our RainChute Downspout Extension to direct rainwater away from the foundation, reducing soil saturation and preventing further settlement. To restore stability inside the home, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System beneath the weakened beams, precisely adjusting each jack to lift and reinforce the floor structure.

With the new systems in place, the basement is now fully stabilized, and the homeowner can enjoy renewed confidence in the safety and longevity of their home!

Quality 1st Basement Systems was contacted by a homeowner in Hatboro, PA. The homeowner noticed the first level of their home was sagging.

We installed the SmartJack System to help support the crawl space beams and straighten the above floors.

We sent Foundation expert, Mike PettyJohn out to perform a full inspection and provide the best recommendation. Based on the foundation wall movement and the cracks that had formed, he determined  Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the best solution.
