Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Ocean Gate, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging in the upper levels of the home. Sagging floors are a common sign of a foundation issue. This can happen because when crawl space columns are spaced too far apart, the beam can become overloaded and sag between the columns. This means this girder sags with it and so does the floor above.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joseph Mancini, was able to provide an inspection and help them find a plan to fix this issue. He suggested they use a steel support system in the crawl space to assist the columns in supporting the home. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, used The SmartJack System in the crawl space to lift the floors above to their original position. This process is done by assembling the components and tightening the SmartJack system into place. The support beam and floor joists are immediately stabilized and lifted to their original position. This system is not to replace the existing columns, but to add strength and stability to what is there. 

This homeowner in Brick, New Jersey noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards. This is a sign of foundation issues from the soil being saturated and pushing against the foundation. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Matt Abrahamsen, provided an inspection and suggested they use straps to hold and stabilize the walls. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the CarbonArmor Straps which includes flexible carbon fiber straps. These straps are 10 times stronger in tension than steel and are bonded to the interior wall. 

Foundation Design Specialist Steve Ventriglio met with this customer to propose a reliable solution for a failing foundation. With a slight bowing of the concrete block basement wall and horizontal cracking, reinforcement of the wall with CarbonArmor straps seemed the best solution, a low profile fix that gets bonded to the wall with a relatively quick install as no exterior excavation is neeeded. Foreman Esau Aquino and his crew installed the state-of-the-art straps to stabilize the foundation. 

A homeowner in Brick, New Jersey noticed their walls were cracking and bowing inwards. This can happen because of wet and heavy soil pushing against the wall and letting water seep in, which is also called hydrostatic pressure. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. Each flexible carbon fiber strip is applied to the section of the wall with a strong epoxy to bond the strip in place. CarbonArmor requires no excavation making it a clean installation. The CarbonArmor straps are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel.
