Foundation Repair Photo Album: Fixing Wall Cracks In Columbus, NJ Basement

Due to foundation settlement occurring in this Columbus, NJ homeowners basement, conditions around the space were becoming increasingly disheveled, wall cracks started to appear and the homeowner worried about potential threats to the structural integrity of their home, leading them to contact Quality 1st for a lasting and reliable fix. Upon further inspection, our team successfully created a tailored repair approach that required us to implement our patented FlexiSpan Repair Method. Thanks to this ultra stabilizing strategy, the homeowners basement was restored to a stable and healthy condition, delivering the homeowner with a completely renewed sense of pride in their home!

Basement Wall Cracks

Cracks began forming in this homeowner's basement walls due to a combination of foundation settlement and moisture intrusion. As the soil beneath the foundation shifted and settled unevenly, it created structural stress that led to visible cracking. At the same time, water seeping into the foundation further weakened the walls, accelerating the damage and compromising the stability of the space.

Before Repair

To ensure the homeowner received the most effective and long-lasting repair solution, we sent one of our experienced System Design Specialists to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the basement. During the assessment, the specialist carefully examined the extent, pattern, and location of the wall cracks, as well as signs of foundation movement and moisture intrusion.

Installing FlexiSpan

Our crew began the FlexiSpan Repair Method by carefully cleaning and preparing the cracked area to ensure a strong bond. We then applied a flexible polyurethane sealant deep into the crack to stop water intrusion. Next, a secondary drainage layer was installed over the sealant to guide any future seepage down into a drainage system. Finally, a durable foam overlay was applied to seal and protect the entire repair.

The Benefits Of FlexiSpan

The FlexiSpan Repair Method offers long-term protection by sealing foundation wall cracks with a flexible, waterproof polyurethane sealant that moves with the wall as it shifts over time. Unlike rigid repairs that can fail with future settling, FlexiSpan adapts to structural changes, preventing re-cracking and water intrusion.

After Repair

Thanks to the expertise of our basement repair specialists and the advanced FlexiSpan Repair Method, this basement has been professionally reinforced and fully restored to a dry, stable, and structurally sound condition!
