Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Manasquan, New Jersey noticed their walls were bowing inwards and cracking. This is caused by the expansion of the soil and hydrostatic pressure. When soil gets saturated during periods of rainfall, the soil expands. When it expands in size, it puts a lot of pressure on the basement walls. The pressure becomes more than the wall can handle, and the wall begins to push inwards.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jonathan Seminerio, provided an inspection of the home and helped them find a solution for this issue. He suggested they use a fiber material to permanently stabilize the wall. Our foreman installed the Carbon Armor System which has a fabric quality that makes it flexible to be installed tightly against the basement walls. This system will prevent the wall from bowing inwards and have minimal disruption to the foundation and landscaping.

This Manasquan foundation was compromised due to a large tree against the home. After the tree was removed, Quality 1st Basement Systems repaired the foundation cracks and bowing walls with CarbonArmor with the ArmorLock system which will stop any inward movement at the top of the wall as well, further keeping this home safe and stable!

This Atlantic Highlands basement had serious foundation cracks on the walls, with some bowing inward. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems who sent System Design Specialist, Mike Jersey out to inspect the problem. Upon inspection, Mike found several horizontal and staircase cracks which are major signs of foundation settlement. The Q1 team installed a PowerBrace Wall Reinforcement System to permanently stabilize the foundation. This will prevent further bowing of the walls and provide future support to the foundation.  

Over the years, as your home faces the wear and tear of weather and settlement, the foundation supporting your home's structure can weaken. For this Dumont, NJ home, our Quality 1st team was called in to reinforce the foundation and prevent water damage from continuing to threaten the home. To do so, we encapsulated the home's crawl space with our CleanSpace and Drainage Matting vapor barrier system. The walls were also insulated with our SilverGlo Insulation Panels. To reinforce the home, SmartJacks were installed beneath the home. These galvanized steel beams are completely adjustable, providing a permanent foundation support system for the home. These additions to the crawl space will keep the home, and all those living inside, safe and supported!
