Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Easton, PA was facing the most extreme case of foundation failure: the cinderblock walls were shifting, crumbling, and separating from the home completely. This condition left the home unsupported which raised concerns for the homeowner in regards to the safety of their home. To address such a major failure in a home's foundation Quality 1st has a support solution that permanently shifts the home's weight load onto new, heavy-duty wall panels. The EverBrace Wall Restoration System is specifically designed for cases like this where brick, cinderblock, or stone foundations experience wall failure. Without any exterior disruption, EverBrace steel panels are installed on the interior of the compromised foundation wall and secured with steel beams. A specially designed foam is then injected behind the wall to fill the space and transfer the load from the failing wall to the new EverBrace system. This system is a powerful and permanent solution to the worst cases of foundation failure and will guarantee this home the support it needs!

A Blue Bell, PA homeowner noticed serious horizontal cracks in their basement walls. One of the walls was beginning to bow inward, concerning the homeowner that their was serious threat to the structure of their home. Foundation Specialist, Greg, inspected the foundation and recommended our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System to stabilize the walls. This system will not effect the process of finishing this basement in the future if the homeowner decide to create extra living space! 

Large horizontal cracks formed on the walls of this unfinished basement located in Warrington, PA.  They feared this was a sign of settlement with the home's foundation, so they contacted us for a free estimate. Foundation Design Specialist, Mike, could tell the cracks were due to the force of hydrostatic pressure on the opposite side of the wall. To secure the walls in place, he recommended the CarbonArmor Reinforcement System. Since the installation, the homeowner's peace of mind has been restored. 

A homeowner in Stewartsville, New Jersey had their floors sloping towards the middle of their house and there was also water in their basement. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a free estimate and our System Design Specialist inspected the basement. SmartJacks were installed to help support the home and provide stability. SmartJacks are installed by attached steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. SmartJacks can easily be adjusted at any point if the home requires it. Now this home is supported and the homeowners do not have to worry about their home being unstable.   

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!
