Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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!

A homeowner, from Ocean Township, contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to get an estimate to stabilize their foundation walls in their basement. We sent Senior Design Specialist, Jeff out to inspect the foundation and design a solution. 

He suggested our Carbon Armor Wall Defense System to permanently stabilize the foundation. Stronger than steel, this stripes gradually pull the foundation back towards its original position while stabilizing the walls to prevent future movement and bowing.  

The homeowner noticed large cracks and contacted Quality 1st right away to have us out to take a look and recommend a solution. System Design Specialist, Kenny T. recommended our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to prevent future bowing to these foundation walls. When the walls began to bow inward, cracks formed. Although the homeowner never noticed the bowing, they noticed the cracks right away. We installed CarbonArmor Straps to each foundation wall to stabilize and prevent future movement of the foundation. This system provided peace of mind to the homeowner since they no longer had to worry about their homes foundation or the stability of it again.  

A homeowner in Ocean, New Jersey noticed their walls were cracking and bowing inwards, which is caused by hydrostatic pressure against the wall. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, provided an inspection and suggested a carbon fiber strap to stabilize the wall. Our foreman installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System which is made from a fiber-reinforced polymer. The straps are attached to the wall and fastened with steel brackets. The straps will support the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position. 

Bowing and cracking in the basement walls signaled serious foundation settlement concerns for a homeowner in Ocean, NJ. Recognizing the potential threat to their home’s structural integrity, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a professional and lasting solution.
