Quality 1st Basement Systems serving Brooklyn, NY

Dampness had gradually become a growing concern for a Brooklyn, NY homeowner who began noticing moisture collecting around various areas of their basement. With the conditions worsening over time, the risk of wood rot, mold growth, and long-term structural damage became increasingly apparent. Wanting to prevent further deterioration and maintain a safe living environment, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a reliable and lasting solution.

Our team began with a thorough inspection of the basement to pinpoint the sources of moisture and assess the overall condition of the space. The evaluation revealed multiple entry points for water, including through the basement walls, floor joints, and window wells. With this information, we developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored specifically to the home’s needs, ensuring both immediate and long-term protection.

Next, to address the foundation water issues, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement floor. This system collects water from both the walls and floor before it can reach the interior space and channels it to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, our most reliable sump pump solution. TripleSafe features three levels of pump protection, including a battery backup, offering peace of mind even during power outages or heavy rain. We also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to act as a vapor barrier, preventing moisture and humidity from passing through the foundation walls while giving the basement a clean, finished look.

To complete the system and address leaking window wells, we integrated a Window WellDuct System. This component directs any water entering through basement windows straight into the WaterGuard drainage channel, eliminating the risk of puddling or wall damage below the windows.

With all systems working in sync, the homeowner now enjoys a fully protected, dry basement environment, and the confidence that their home is safe from future water intrusion and moisture-related issues!

A homeowner in Brooklyn, New York was experiencing stair-step cracking in the exterior of their home. This is a symptom of foundation settlement and should be repaired right away. Foundation settlement happens because of the constant shrinking and expansion of the soil around the home. During periods of droughts, the soil will dry and shrink. During periods of heavy rainfall, the soil gets saturated and expands in size. If gone unrepaired, foundation settlement can be detrimental to the property's home value. 

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Steve Ventriglio, was able to provide an inspection of the home and help them find a solution to this issue. Upon his inspection, Steve noticed how the foundation was settling and he suggested they use a pier system to stabilize the home.

Our foreman arrived at the job site and began to prepare for the installation of the Helical Pier System. First, the foreman removes the soil where the piers will be installed. the first pier section is screwed into the ground using specialized hydraulic equipment. Then, a steel foundation bracket is connected to the helical piers and attached to the foundation's footing. The weight of the home is transferred through the helical piers and onto the sturdy soil. Lifting the home back to its original position will be attempted with this solution. When the soil around the area is replaced, the entire system is hidden from view.

The Helical Pier System will bring the home back to its original position, and requires minimal disturbance from the installation. These piers are a quicker installation, rather than a total foundation replacement, which is disruptive and not effective. With the Helical Pier System, the foundation settlement is solved once and for all. 

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome. they were happy with the professionalism they saw on the job, and they did not have to worry about foundation settlement issues any longer.
