Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Settlement under a house in Manahawkin, NJ has been fixed with the installation of our SmartJack support System.

A resident in Manahawkin, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging and becoming bouncy. The cause of this could be from the existing columns being spaced too far apart, or they have settled. If these columns are spaced too far apart, the beam can become overloaded and sag between the columns. Weak soil can also cause the columns to sink or settle, creating a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, and our System Design Specialist, Steve Ventriglio, provided an inspection of the home. He suggested they use a steel support system to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists. Our foreman, Jonathan Neira, used the SmartJack Support System in the crawl space. This system does not replace the existing columns, but they add strength and stability to what is there. These are installed by digging out a hole where the SmartJacks will go. Then, high strength galvanized steel tubing is assembled and connected to the support beam and the SmartJack System is tightened into place. The support beam and floor joists are immediately stabilized and the above floors can be lifted back toward level.

Our Senior Foreman Victor and his team stabilized this home with our CarbonArmor System. First, they prepared the wall surface by sanding away the paint so that the epoxy resin would bond to the concrete. Once the straps adhered to the wall, The ArmorLock bracket was connected. Another coat of epoxy resin was applied to completely secure the strip. Rest assured that the CarbonArmor and ArmorLock Systems will immediately stabilize your foundation walls and permanently protect against any further inward movement.

This customer was concerned with sinking and uneven floors in the home. Foundation Repair Specialist Steve Ventriglio inspected the existing support system of the home and proposed SmartJack Support System in conjunction with PowerBrace Supplemental Beam. To provide additional support and stabilize the home, Foreman Victor Leon and his crew installed the foundation products, providing peace of mind to the customers.

A homeowner in Nutley, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging in between the floor joists.  The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection of the home and suggested they use support beams. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, used the SmartJack System and supplemental beams to lift and strengthen the floors above. Once Esau and the Quality 1st crew finished, the first floor was stabilized.
