Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After noticing their basement walls beginning to bow and show widening horizontal cracks, a homeowner in East Brunswick, NJ realized the issue pointed to a deeper foundation concern. As the cracking progressed, the homeowner grew increasingly worried that continued settlement could lead to moisture intrusion, structural instability, and costly future damage. Wanting to address the problem before it escalated, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional evaluation and long-term solution.

Upon arrival, our team conducted a detailed assessment of the home’s foundation and confirmed that settlement was the root cause of the wall movement. To permanently stabilize the structure, we designed a customized repair plan that included the installation of our patented Push Pier System. These heavy-duty piers were driven deep into stable soil layers, providing the support needed to lift, level, and reinforce the settling foundation.

With the Push Pier System securely in place, the basement walls were restored and protected against further cracking, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in the strength and longevity of their home!

This Lake Hiawatha, NJ, homeowner was facing significant foundation settlement concerns in their crawl space due to persistent water seepage. The moisture was causing the floors above to sag, creating an uncomfortable living environment with musty odors, mold growth, and uneven flooring. Worried about the long-term effects on the structural integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help.

After assessing the situation, our team identified the root causes: poor drainage, water infiltration, and inadequate vapor protection. We recommended a dynamic solution to address these issues and restore the crawl space’s health. Our crew began the restoration by installing our patented Drainage Matting, which allowed any trapped water to flow freely away from the foundation, preventing further moisture buildup. Next, we covered the entire crawl space floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, effectively sealing out moisture and creating an airtight barrier to eliminate humidity and musty odors. To address the foundation settlement, we installed our SmartJack Reinforcement System, lifting and stabilizing the sagging floors.

The combination of these solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, stable, and healthy environment, protecting the homeowner’s foundation and ensuring peace of mind for years to come!

The basement wall had a large crack that was allowing water to seep through. Since concrete naturally shrinks, you need a system that will work with the movement of the wall.  We recommended FlexiSpan as the perfect solution for these types of situations. 

FlexiSpan is a flexible sealant, made up of open-cell foam and waterproof sealant. The entire crack is sealed and designed to move to make sure the crack is permanently sealed.
