Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a low profile foundation reinforcement system in Passaic County, NJ to fix the cracking foundation. Our CarbonArmor wall reinforcement system prevents foundation walls from bowing forward and protects home's foundations. These carbon straps may look simple, but they are ten time stronger than steel and contour tightly to the wall.

This Rahway homeowner noticed that he had a horizontal crack in the outside of his foundation. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor with ArmorLock to stabilize the foundation and stop movement of the foundation wall. This home is now safe and stable!

What began as small cracks in the garage walls quickly evolved into visible bowing, an alarming sign for this West Orange, NJ homeowner. Realizing the issue could point to serious foundation settlement, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional evaluation.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and confirmed that hydrostatic pressure and shifting soil conditions were putting stress on the foundation walls, resulting in both horizontal cracking and inward bowing. Understanding the severity of the issue, we developed a custom solution to address both the structural instability and water intrusion risks.

This repair strategy combined two industry-leading systems, our FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System along with our PowerBrace Wall Crack Repair System. FlexiSpan was applied to permanently seal the wall cracks with a flexible, waterproof barrier designed to adapt to future foundation movement. To stabilize the bowing walls, we installed the PowerBrace System, zinc-plated steel beams engineered to immediately halt inward movement and allow for potential wall straightening over time.

With both systems working in tandem, the foundation was fully reinforced, and the homeowner gained long-term peace of mind knowing their garage is now protected against further structural damage!

This West Orange, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after noticing their floors on the first level were sinking and settling. Our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, inspected the area and discovered the cause were weak wooden beams underneath the floors. Overtime, wooden beams can sag due to high levels of moisture inside the crawl space. 

Laszlo presented this to the homeowner and suggested our SmartJack System by Supportworks is the perfect solution. Our SmartJack System provides support for the weakened crawlspace beams and fully stabilizes them. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experience any sagging in their home and has been fully satisfied.
