Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Reinforcement and Waterproofing Berkeley Heights, NJ Home

As a homeowner, it can be intimidating to notice signs of a faulty foundation in your own home. Bowing walls, sagging floors, and cracking walls are all possible signals to a home in need of extra support. This Berkeley Heights, NJ homeowner relied on Quality 1st to come in and provide their home with the necessary, safeguarding restoration it needed. Our crew installed two different foundation systems to help reinforce this home: CarbonArmor Straps and our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. CarbonArmor is made up of carbon fabric strips that are bonded to compromised foundation walls, while the Wall Anchor System is made up of galvanized steel beams that brace the wall, preventing further movement. Our crew also installed a new waterproofing system in this basement featuring a vapor barrier, a new drainage system, and an upgraded sump pump. Our WaterGuard Drains were installed around the perimeter below floor level to channel leaking water into the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The CleanSpace lined on the walls prevents water from seeping in from the walls to flood and will direct it down into the new drainage system. This upgraded waterproofing system will further protect the basement from water damage that would have further damaged the foundation which is now stabilized and reinforced thanks to the expertise of our Quality 1st team!

Failing Foundation

This home had visible horizontal and vertical cracking in its basement walls. These warning signs concerned the homeowner and pushed them to find a reinforcing repair.

Carbon Armor Foundation Support

Our Carbon Armor Straps are bonded to the failing foundation walls to provide strong, minimally invasive support.

Installing Wall Anchor

Our crew digs holes some distance from the home's foundation where the soil is more stable and packed. This harder soil allows our support system to be anchored in the ground and brace the foundation wall without disrupting the basement space. These holes are backfilled to conceal the system and restore the home's property to how it was before our crew excavated.

New Waterproofing System with Foundation Support

Our foundation and waterproofing repair completely transforms the basement with minimal disruption and invasion to the home. The TripleSafe, drainage system, and vapor barrier additions are guaranteed to keep this basement dry, and the Wall Anchors will stabilize the foundation to safeguard the home.
