Addressing Foundation Settlement In South Amboy, NJ
Challenge
Cracking and bowing basement walls, accompanied by water seepage, signaled serious foundation settlement issues for a homeowner in South Amboy, NJ. Recognizing the potential long-term damage these problems could cause, ranging from structural instability to mold growth, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, professional solution. Our team quickly responded, performing a comprehensive inspection to evaluate the extent of the damage and determine the most effective repair strategy.
Solution
To address the structural concerns, we installed our PowerBrace Wall Repair System, which uses heavy-duty steel beams to stabilize and gradually straighten bowing walls, preventing further movement. To reinforce this support, we integrated our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System, utilizing high-strength carbon fiber straps that provide additional strength without intrusive excavation. These two systems work in tandem to restore the foundation’s integrity and ensure lasting stability. To tackle the moisture issues, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture water before it can seep into the basement and direct it safely away from the foundation. We also applied CleanSpace Wall Panels, which protect against moisture while creating a clean, finished appearance inside the basement. Together, these solutions not only stabilized the home’s foundation but also created a dry, healthy living space, giving the homeowner complete and total peace of mind!
