Expert Basement Waterproofing Contractor in North Bergen. Providing Services in Crawl Space and Foundation Repair

Recently in North Bergen, NJ, a homeowner began noticing increased moisture levels in their crawl space, especially after heavy rains, leading to musty odors and the potential development of mold. The excess moisture was causing concern, as it was affecting the structural integrity of the home, promoting mold growth, and impacting the overall air quality. Over time, the increased humidity in the crawl space was likely to lead to more severe structural issues, such as wood rot and foundation damage. Worried about the long-term consequences, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st to find a lasting solution to the moisture intrusion.

Our System Design Specialist Alex conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space and determined that water seepage was the primary cause of the excess moisture. With the soil beneath the crawl space saturated, water was constantly entering the space, creating an environment that was both damp and unstable. To address the moisture problem, we recommended the installation of our patented SmartPipe Drainage System. This innovative system channels water away from the crawl space and prevents further pooling beneath the foundation, providing a long-term solution to the water intrusion. The SmartPipe system efficiently collects and directs the water, ensuring the crawl space remains dry.

Next, we installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the walls of the crawl space to improve energy efficiency and moisture control. The SilverGlo panels are highly reflective and provide superior insulation to keep the crawl space at a consistent temperature, preventing condensation from forming. The moisture-resistant nature of SilverGlo helps to prevent mold and mildew growth, and its high R-value ensures that the crawl space remains energy-efficient, further contributing to the overall health of the home. With the insulation in place, the homeowner could be confident that the crawl space was now better protected from future moisture issues.

To complete the solution, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the entire crawl space floor and walls. The CleanSpace system is a heavy-duty, puncture-resistant liner that creates an airtight seal, blocking out moisture and preventing water vapor from entering the space. This barrier effectively eliminates the musty odors, reduces humidity, and ensures the crawl space stays dry year-round. With the combination of the SmartPipe Drainage System, SilverGlo Insulation Panels, and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, we restored the crawl space to a dry, stable, and healthy environment, protecting the homeowner’s foundation and improving the air quality throughout the home!

A homeowner in North Bergen, NJ, began struggling with ongoing settlement issues surrounding their front sidewalk area, which had begun to sink and settle unevenly, resulting in potentially fatal walking conditions and severe tripping hazards, as well as, a complete decline in the structural integrity of the entire property. After researching the best possible concrete repair team to involve, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, known for their expertise in structural settlement repair. Our system design specialist Joseph thoroughly evaluated the full situation and made a professional recommendation to our foreman JD to administer PolyLevel Foam Injections to lift and stabilize the sinking slabs, ultimately returning them to their designated surface height. Our team also carried out an application of our ultraviolet resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal cracks and joints on the surface and to essentially prevent damage related to erosion.

In less than a single day, the sidewalk was completely leveled, safer, and more aesthetically appealing. The homeowner was pleased with the swift and effective resolution our team was able to provide, correcting both the safety standards and visual appearance of their entryway sidewalk. This owner can now certifiably trust in the structural longevity of their beloved walkway, thanks to the restorative power of PolyLevel!

As warmer weather began to melt fallen snow, Madelina from North Bergen noticed water seeping into her basement laundry room in the area where the wall meets the floor.  She wanted to put a stop to the wetness.  She contacted Quality 1^st Basement Systems for help.

John Schweitzer, waterproofing specialist, met with Madelina to inspect the basement and plan a course of action that would help direct any water intrusion to a SuperSump sump pump system for removal.  He included an IceGuard (to prevent flooding if the outside drain freezes) and a LawnScape to disperse the water into the lawn area, away from the foundation of the home. 

Quality 1^st Basement Systems completed the installation and created another satisfied customer!  Madelina no longer had to fear snowmelt or any other type of water intrusion into her basement.

Homeowner Mona P. was getting water in her North Bergen, NJ basement.  Especially concerned with the water intrusion because the area was being used as a living space, Mona contacted Quality 1^st Basement Systems for help. Waterproofing specialist Jeff visited with Mona to provide a design that would effectively keep the basement dry and enhance the appearance of the living area.

Juan Garcia and crew installed WaterGuard to direct any water coming through the perimeter walls toward a Super Sump, set to pump the water out of the basement.  Waterproof Millcreek flooring and half-wall demo restoration were done, providing a very nice and clean finish to the area.

Mona P. didn’t have to worry about water leaking into the basement living area again.  Additionally, she was satisfied with the aesthetic improvements that Quality 1st Basement Systems made possible.
