Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Point Pleasant, New Jersey noticed their foundation walls were bowing inwards. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to solve this issue. Our System Design Specialist, Greg Louis, provided an inspection and suggested they get a system to stabilize the wall. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed the CarbonArmor Straps which are flexible carbon fiber straps. These straps help stabilize bowing walls and prevent any foundation failure from worsening. Each strap is flexible, applied to the wall with an epoxy resin, and is 10x stronger than steel. Since the repair, the homeowner was happy to see their basement walls fully repaired.

A Point Pleasant Beach, NJ homeowner noticed the floors, of the main level of their home, were sagging, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. We provided a thorough inspection of the crawl space and knew the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System would stabilize and support the floors. A few weeks later, our crew installed the system. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other floor issues in their home.

A homeowner in Seaside Park, New Jersey noticed the floors in their home were sagging, their walls were cracking, and the main beams in the crawl space were unsound. These are all the symptoms of foundation settlement. When a crawl space is built, block columns could be spaced too far apart, which can lead to overloading and sagging between the columns. Weak soil can also cause the existing columns to sink or settle, which creates a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder it was supporting. This can pose as a safety issue not only to the homeowner, but to the home as well.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement System and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to help them come up with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested steel support system to help stabilize the foundation. Our foremen installed the SmartJack System, which do not replace the existing columns, but they help to bring strength and stability to the foundation. This process is done by assembling the steel beams into the soil. The support beams and floor joists are immediately stabilized and the above floors and walls will be lifted and stabilized. The support system is engineered to support large homes and load-bearing wall construction.

A homeowner in Little Silver, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after finding their floors were sagging. Our System Design Specialist, Lazslo Lenkey, provided a fully inspection on the home and recommended additional stability to the floor beams. To provide extra support and stop the sagging sensation, Laszlo recommended our SmartJack System would be the perfect solution. 

Quality 1st Basements provided permanent support to an old building in Red Bank, NJ. Our crews installed PowerBraces on the failing floor joists to stabilize and prevent further damage to the foundation. Our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System consists of steel I-beams that stabilize and potentially straighten anything bowing, tilting inward or buckling. Next our SmartJackXP Support System was installed to provide additional support to the PowerBrace and therefore more support to the structure of the building.
