Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The initial call to our company was for basement waterproofing. The complaint was that water would get into the basement every time it would rain and then it would just progress with every rainfall, more and more water was getting in. When we got out there to assess the water issue, it became apparent that there was a problem with the customer's foundation. To correct these foundation issues we installed two push piers and seven, 8' Power Braces.

Push Piers are installed and locked under the home's foundation, allowing the weight from the foundation to transfer from the unstable soil to the stabilized piers. Power Braces are installed by anchoring to your basement floor and floor joist. The Power Brace is designed to be tightened over time and can potentially reverse the failing wall.

On this project, we had to perform Urethane injections to 45ft tall foundation wall cracks. On the one foundation wall, we had to inject Epoxy into 30 cracks in order to strengthen the foundation's integrity by using the water-resistant epoxy. Once the cracks were filled, we removed the excess epoxy in order for the owner to touch up or stain the discoloration from the dry injections. Lastly, we reinstalled the foam boards we removed and taped seams flush against the walls. 

A slight sag in the flooring above was all it took for a homeowner in Havre De Grace, MD to realize something was seriously wrong beneath their home. A closer inspection of the basement revealed weakened support beams beginning to show signs of settlement, an issue that, if left unaddressed, could lead to major structural damage. Wanting to protect their home before the situation worsened, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a dependable and lasting solution.

Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough structural assessment to determine the extent of the damage and identify where additional support was needed most. Using these findings, we created a tailored repair plan centered around the installation of our heavy-duty SmartJack Support System. These adjustable steel supports were strategically positioned to lift, stabilize, and permanently reinforce the failing beams.

Once the SmartJacks were fully secured, the basement regained proper structural strength, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind knowing their home was safely supported for years to come!

A subtle dip in the floor above was the first sign that something hidden beneath the home in Havre De Grace, MD wasn’t quite right. Concerned by the growing instability, the homeowner inspected their crawl space and discovered weakened support beams showing clear signs of settlement. Knowing the issue could worsen over time, they reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable solution that would restore their home’s structural integrity.

During our visit, we conducted a detailed assessment of the crawl space to pinpoint the areas most affected by shifting and deterioration. Based on our findings, we designed a customized repair plan centered around the installation of our heavy-duty SmartJack Support System. These adjustable steel supports were strategically placed to lift, stabilize, and permanently reinforce the compromised beams.

With the SmartJacks fully secured, the crawl space regained its strength, and the homeowner was left with renewed confidence knowing their home was once again safe and structurally sound!

In order to put this property on the market, the customer had to take care of the horizontal crack on the foundation wall. The solution for this foundation repair was our Carbon Armor Wall reinforcement system. 

We used 12 Carbon Fiber strips, made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10 times stronger than steel, to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are bowed or cracked. We also used our ArmorLock system, which stops inward wall movement by connecting the CarbonArmor fiber strips to the home's perimeter framing.
