The resident of this Gilette, NJ property contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to waterproof her basement. Upon inspection, water penetration was evident on the walls and floors of this basement. The installation team installeld WaterGuard basement drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to keep the basement dry which works with the battery back-up sump pump. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed on the walls to prevent moisture from entering the basement through the porous walls. The basement is now dry, and the owners have additional space in their home!

When the basement walls of this Gillette, NJ home were showing foundation failure, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to provide a permanent solution to stabilize the foundation. So when the homeowner noticed water all over the basement in different areas where the wall met the floor, he contacted Quality 1st again.

Quality 1st sent System Design Specialist, Mike Bonfante, who previously visited the home for foundation issues, out again to expect the water concerns. Mike recommended installing an additional Sump pump system. For a basement that size, some need more then one Sump pump to keep the basement dry. When one area of the basement is waterproofed, water will then travel around the foundation of the home until it finds a new entry in. 

This Gillette, NJ homeowner was thrilled that Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to provide another solution for his basement.

Crawl space repair & encapsulation experts

The crawl space is an often ignored part of the home. However, a humid, leaky crawl space can lead to massive problems if left unrepaired and dirty. If you're unsure whether your home has crawl space issues, the warning signs include musty smells, sagging floors, and condensation. The best way to get in front of a crawl space problem is to install a professional-grade sump pump. A crawl space sump pump will eliminate flooding and pooling water, preventing mold and mildew growth.

Another way to help ensure a safer, dryer crawl space is to install a vapor barrier. This energy-efficient solution keeps moisture and bugs out and helps your crawl space become a healthy, dry area. Additionally, a dehumidifier will work with the sump pump and thermal insulation to maintain a humidity-free environment in the crawl space.Our crawl space encapsulation system keeps the area from leaking heat or cold from the house.

Job Stories From Gillette, NJ
Resolving Concrete Settlement In Gillette, NJ

What should have been a relaxing backyard retreat had become a source of concern for this Gillette, NJ homeowner. Over time, the concrete surrounding their pool had begun to sink and shift, leaving the once-smooth surface uneven and unsightly. Uneven slabs not only disrupted the pool’s appearance but also posed potential safety risks for family and guests. Concerned about both the aesthetics and the hazards, the homeowner reached out to the professionals at Quality 1st for a lasting solution.

After a thorough on-site inspection, our team determined that the settlement was caused by soil erosion and voids forming beneath the concrete. These voids compromised the slab’s stability, leading to differential settling around the pool deck area. With this understanding, we developed a tailored repair plan designed to permanently lift and stabilize the affected slabs without the need for extensive demolition or replacement.

Our solution involved the installation of our patented PolyLevel Foam Injection System. By drilling small injection ports through the settled concrete, our crew injected a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the surface. As the foam expanded, it gently lifted the slabs back to their proper elevation and filled underlying voids, creating a stable and durable base. The process was efficient, minimally invasive, and provided immediate results, restoring both safety and visual appeal to the homeowner’s outdoor living space!

As the summer season approached, a homeowner in Gillette, NJ, noticed their backyard pool deck becoming increasingly uneven, turning what should have been a relaxing outdoor space into a growing safety concern. What began as minor sinking along a few slabs had developed into noticeable shifts and tripping hazards around the pool area. Uneven concrete not only posed a danger to family and guests but also detracted from the overall appearance and usability of the backyard. Realizing the problem would only worsen over time, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a lasting and professional solution.

Upon inspection, our team determined that the concrete settlement was caused by soil erosion and poor compaction beneath the slab, a common issue in outdoor concrete surfaces, especially near pools where moisture is frequent. These voids in the soil created a loss of support, allowing the slabs to sink unevenly. To correct the problem, we implemented our PolyLevel Foam Injection system, a minimally invasive yet highly effective method. The high-density polyurethane foam was injected beneath the affected slabs, where it expanded to fill gaps and gently lift the concrete back to a level position with precision and control. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, now enjoying a smooth, stable, and visually appealing pool deck that’s ready for years of safe, stress-free use!

Basement Water Managed by TripleSafe Sump Pump System in Gillette, NJ

James called Quality 1st Basement Systems to arrange to have a no-obligation, free estimate.  A certified waterproofing specialist visited James to complete a thorough interior and exterior inspection and provide a free estimate for the best solution to meet his needs.  The specialist proposed the installation of WaterGuard and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to manage the influx of water to the basement that Joe was experiencing during the rain.   

A Triple Safe Sump Pump System includes an efficient primary pump, a back-up pump (in case the first one fails or if there is a need for extra pumping power), and a third battery-operated pump (designed to kick in if the power goes out). The flood protection provided in each system includes a powerful cast-iron primary pump which can discharge 2,220 gallons of water per hour while the secondary pump can kick in if needed to pump an additional 3,900 gallons of water per hour out of the basement.  The battery backup sump pump is capable of pumping 11,500 gallons of water on a single battery charge.

In addition, an IceGuard Discharge Line System was included as it is designed to prevent flooding in the event of frozen discharge pipes.  A LawnScape Outlet was also included as it is designed to disperse discharge water away from the home and on the lawn. 

James was pleased with the proposed plan to meet his needs in controlling water intrusion in a section of the basement.  He was additionally happy to have Quality 1st Basement Systems complete the work, offered to him with a Preferred Customer Discount.

Looking to get french drains installed with sump pump in basement
Project Location: Gillette, NJ
We have been in our home for about 1 year and in the past month have had our basement flood twice (never before that). The first time it was around 2 inches and after Ida, it was 8 inches. The water came from all of the cracks along the sides of the basement, where the floor meets the wall. Our sump pump appears to be 'on' and running, but we suspect it may not be functioning properly. We also suspect a drainage issue. So we are looking for an evaluation of our sump pump, waterproofing, and drainage.
