Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Middletown, NJ

Facing persistent water issues in their basement, a homeowner in Middletown, NJ reached out to us at Quality 1st Basement Systems. Each time heavy rains swept through, water seeped up from the floor and pooled at the base of their walls. To address this, we recommended and installed two of our best solutions: the WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump systems. Our skilled production team jumped into action shortly after. Starting with the WaterGuard installation, the under-floor drainage system created a path for water to follow, capturing it at the wall-floor junction before it became a problem. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump system was placed discreetly yet strategically, it promised continuous water evacuation, equipped with three robust pumps to deal with high volume, potential failures, and even power outages.

In Middletown, NJ, a homeowner contacted us to improve the waterproofing of their basement by upgrading their existing sump system. While the current sump pump was functioning, the homeowner wanted added protection against water intrusion, especially during heavy rains. Our team installed WaterGuard around the perimeter to capture groundwater at the wall-floor joint and channel it to the existing sump pump. This upgrade ensures that any water entering the basement is efficiently collected and pumped out, providing a reliable solution for long-term moisture control. With WaterGuard in place, the basement is now better protected from water intrusion, helping maintain a dry, safe, and healthy space.

In Middletown, NJ, a homeowner was facing a frustrating problem with their crawl space.

Our experienced production team carefully lined the crawl space with our high-quality CleanSpace liner: a robust 20-mil material designed to encapsulate and protect. This installation turned the problematic crawl space into a clean, dry, and protective environment, free from the dangers of excess moisture. It outperformed traditional materials, offering long-lasting confidence in maintaining the crawl space condition.

An old sump pump system had left a Middletown, NJ homeowner dealing with a persistently damp crawl space. Over time, the lack of proper water management turned the area into a humid, musty environment, raising concerns about mold growth, structural damage, and reduced indoor air quality. Recognizing the seriousness of the issue and wanting a permanent fix, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and long-lasting solution.

Our team began with a detailed inspection of the crawl space to identify the source of the moisture intrusion.

The first step was installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter of the crawl space. This system is specifically engineered to sit above the foundation footing, where it can effectively capture water seeping in from the walls and floor without the risk of clogging from soil or debris. From there, we installed our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, a compact but powerful unit designed to handle the unique demands of crawl spaces. Its airtight lid and built-in alarm help protect against moisture, odors, and system failure.

To complete the system and safeguard it from the elements, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line to the exterior.

A homeowner in Middletown, New Jersey noticed their concrete driveway was sinking and settling. This occurs because concrete is poured over backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath, causing the slab to shift. This can be dangerous because someone could trip and hurt themselves.

Looking for a solution, the homeowner made a quick call to Quality 1st Basement Systems where our customer service representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek. Jeff provided an inspection of the site and he suggested a polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete.

Our foreman, Sean Johnson, arrived at the site and began the process of using the PolyLevel Injection System. This is done by drilling tiny holes in the slab and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. This can be installed within a day and requires minimal disturbance to the concrete. PolyLevel is environmentally friendly and is lightweight, so it will not add any weight to the existing soil.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy with the result. Since the installation, they have not had any issues with their concrete driveway.

A homeowner in Middletown, NJ recently moved into their new home. They did a full home inspection and noticed foundation cracks on the inside and outside walls of their home. They were not fully sure what could have caused the situation, so they needed some professional assistance to help determine the best repair solution. After searching the Internet, the homeowner found Quality 1st Basement Systems and thought they would be the perfect fit. 

We scheduled an appointment for our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber to evaluate the cracks. After fully inspecting the home and the problem, Jack explained that foundation issues are the result of the home's soil.

Soil constantly changes throughout the years, having to shrink when it's dry or having to expand when it's wet. This causes the foundation to settle, creating cracks inside and outside of the home.

Mary had an unfinished basement and was interested in having walls and floors installed to create more space for her kids to enjoy. Although her basement never had signs of water, it was always cold and she could feel a draft standing near her basement windows. Quality 1st sent Basement Design Specialist, Laura, to meet with Mary and design the best basement finishing layout that would work best for what Mary was trying to accomplish in her basement. 

For the basement floors, Laura recommended Pro Comfort Carpeting, which is an innovative basement carpeting that is completely inorganic, making it completely waterproof and mold resistant.

Quality 1st Basements received a call from a homeowner living in Middletown, NJ who was experiencing sinking concrete in their driveway and backyard patio area. Our customer service representative Keashan was able to set an appointment up with Concrete Repair Specialist, Jeff and within a few short days, Jeff was out to meet them. 

Jeff noticed the concrete driveway had settled around 3 inches at the top of the driveway near the garage and roughly 1 inch towards the end of the driveway near the sidewalk. The homeowner was nervous that these tripping hazards could be dangerous to his family and wanted them removed right away. When Jeff inspected the backyard patio he noticed the entire area was settled and uneven, preventing the family from being able to put furniture on it. The slabs had sunk 2 inches in some areas and up to 5 inches in others. 

Project Manager Arturo and his crew injected PolyLevel Foam underneath each sinking slab, raising each one back to level. Within 15 minutes of completion, the homeowner was able to put their car back into the driveway and the family was able to put out their patio furniture. The homeowner was amazed at the entire process and pleased with how professional Arturo and his crew were. 

David and his family had noticed that in a short period of time, the floors on their first floor of their home had become very cold. His wife had also noticed that their utility bill has increased the last two months compared to others. Doing some research he discovered that cold floors can be due to an uninsulated crawl space. Then he realized that all his pipes, water heater, and furnace were all located in his crawl space. He decided to contact his local expert in Crawl Space repair and insulation, Quality 1st Basements. 

System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, explained to David that at one point he had water in his crawl space and the insulation started to absorb the moisture and water causing it to get heavy and fall. Now that his crawl space was no longer properly insulated, the cold draft from outside was now creating a cold environment inside causing the floors on the first floor to get colder and his furnace was now working harder to warm the home. 

Laszlo suggested fully insulating the crawl space with a heat barrier called SilverGlo. SilverGlo is installed on the floor and walls, reflecting heat back inside the crawl space. SilverGlo is installed to the rim joists as well where drafts linger in from. Another great insulation product is TerraBlock which is designed specifically for the crawl space and works on either a dirt or concrete floor crawl space. TerraBlock keeps water and moisture away from the dirt and concrete preventing the crawl space from becoming colder. 

When Paul in Middletown, NJ found water coming down the walls and up from the floor of his basement, he immediately called Quality 1st Basement Systems. He'd seen the truck in his neighborhood and knew a lot of his neighbors were happy with the work done by Quality 1st.

Ken Peare, a Basement Waterproofing Expert, evaluated the basement and could see right away where the problem was and what could be done to fix it.

Foreman and Installation Specialist, Victor Leon, installed the WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter of the basement to direct water into the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is 3 sump pumps in one and guarantees a dry basement. Because winters in New Jersey can cause pipes to freeze, Ken recommended the IceGuard Discharge Line. IceGuard is especially designed to keep the system working even on the coldest days. LawnScape was also installed to direct the water away from the home.

Now this Middletown basement stays dry and Paul is very happy he called Quality 1st!
