Foundation Repair Photo Album: Addressing Foundation Settlement In Baltimore, MD Basement

Over time, a homeowner in Baltimore, MD, noticed increasing signs of foundation settlement around their basement, leading to compromised conditions and water intrusion. Concerned about the long-term stability of their home, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional solution. After a thorough inspection, our team designed a tailored waterproofing and repair strategy that included the installation of our patented SmartJack Support System to stabilize the foundation and IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing and ensure proper water drainage. With these systems in place, we successfully addressed the foundation settlement and restored the basement to a dry, stable, and healthy condition.

Before Repairs

Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the homeowner's basement to assess the extent of the issues and determine the most effective waterproofing and repair solution. This detailed evaluation allowed us to create a customized approach that addressed the specific needs of the space, ensuring long-lasting protection and stability.

Installing SmartJacks

We installed the SmartJack Wall Repair System to address the homeowner's basement, which was showing signs of foundation settlement. The process began with our crew carefully digging access holes around the affected areas to expose the foundation. We then placed adjustable, galvanized steel SmartJack supports beneath the beams to lift and stabilize the foundation. These supports were securely anchored into stable soil, providing immediate stabilization and preventing further settlement.

The Benefits Of SmartJack

Unlike traditional methods, SmartJack is installed quickly and with minimal disruption, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking for a long-term, cost-effective solution to foundation settlement.

The Benefits Of SmartJack

One of the key benefits of SmartJack is its ability to be fully adjustable, allowing for precise leveling and stabilization of foundation walls over time. The system is also designed to resist corrosion, ensuring it provides lasting protection for the home.

IceGuard Discharge Line

The IceGuard Discharge Line is a critical component in preventing basement flooding during the winter months. Designed to prevent water backup caused by freezing conditions, IceGuard ensures that the homeowners sump pump system continues to function effectively even when temperatures drop.
