A resident in Clifton, New Jersey saw their concrete walkway was sinking and settling. This can be a danger because it can cause tripping hazards and the pooling of water. Concrete shifts and becomes unlevel when the backfilled soil under the concrete settles over time and creates a void under the concrete. Another common cause is the erosion of soil under the slab. As water runs down through the cracks in the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after seeing our ad on Instagram. Our System Design Specialist, Jonathan Seminerio, helped the homeowner find a plan to fix this issue. He suggested they use polyurethane foam to fill the voids under the concrete.
Our foreman, Victor Leon, used the PolyLevel Injection System under the concrete. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete slab, and injecting the polyurethane foam into the voids. The foam has expanding properties that allow for an accurate lift and level of the slab. The polyurethane foam is environmentally friendly and does not require any disruption to the existing concrete.
A homeowner in Clifton, New Jersey noticed their driveway patio was becoming unlevel and sinking. This happens because of the poorly compacted soil around the foundation. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the concrete slab. This can be a dangerous safety hazard because a friend or family member could trip and injure themselves.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist was able to provide an inspection and help them find a solution to this issue. Upon his inspection, the system design specialist noticed how unlevel the concrete was and he suggested a polyurethane foam to lift and level the slab.
Out foreman used the PolyLevel Injection System to be injected underneath the concrete. This is done by drilling small penny-sized holes into the slab and injecting the foam into the voids. This process can be done within a day and does not require the use of heavy equipment. The polyurethane foam has expanding properties that allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. PolyLevel is a lightweight, waterproof, environmentally friendly solution that will not wash out and will not add weight to the existing soil.
When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the outcome. They were able to safely walk on the driveway without the concern of tripping or hurting themselves.
A homeowner in West Milford, New Jersey was looking to install a sump pump system because they were noticing water getting into their basement. This can happen because the poorly compacted soil around the foundation becomes saturated during heavy rainfall, which creates hydrostatic pressure. This hydrostatic pressure pushes water through the walls and floors of the basement.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and spoke to our customer service representative, where they made an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Steve Roldan. Steve provided an inspection of the home and he suggested they install a new sump pump system.
Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed the SuperSump Pump System which is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. This sump pump has an airtight enclosed lid that will prevent water vapor from entering the basement air. Then, Wilver installed the WaterGuard Drain System which sits on top of the foundation footing so it is not in the mud zone and does not clog. This system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to the sump pump.
When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome. They had peace of mind knowing that these systems would protect their basement against water intrusion.
A homeowner in Ringwood, New Jersey noticed their concrete patio was beginning to sink and become unlevel. This can happen because the soil under the concrete is poorly compacted.

Looking for a solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek, was able to provide an inspection and help them find a solution to this issue. Upon his inspection, Jeff noticed how the concrete was sinking and he suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the slab.

This process is done by drilling small penny-sized holes into the slab and injecting the foam to fill the voids underneath.

This Ringwood, NJ, homeowner had been struggling with persistent moisture issues in their basement for months. Every time there was a heavy rainfall, water would seep through the walls, leaving damp spots on the floor and causing an unpleasant, musty odor to linger throughout the house. Despite attempts at DIY solutions, the water intrusion continued, leading to concerns about mold growth and the overall health of their living space. Realizing they needed a permanent fix, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for an expert assessment and solution to finally rid their basement of moisture problems. After evaluating the basement, our team recommended a comprehensive approach that included the installation of our specially patented WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The WaterGuard system was installed along the perimeter of the basement, effectively capturing water and directing it into the sump pump, while preventing clogs and ensuring long-term reliability. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, featuring three pumps that provide continuous protection, even during power outages. To address humidity and prevent mold, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was placed in the basement to remove excess moisture, ensuring that the air remained dry and healthy. Once the installation was complete, the homeowner immediately noticed a dramatic improvement. The basement, once damp and musty, was now dry, clean, and inviting. The WaterGuard system worked flawlessly to capture water and direct it to the sump pump, while the TripleSafe Sump Pump provided reliable water removal, even during heavy storms. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier kept humidity levels under control, eliminating the risk of mold growth and ensuring better air quality. With these solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and comfortable basement, free from the worries of water intrusion!
A recent project in Clifton, NJ, highlighted our commitment to solving home issues with skill and care. A homeowner reached out to us after experiencing trouble with pests stirring up problems in their crawl space, a common issue when damp crawl spaces get out of hand. They were keen to explore encapsulation to not only deter pests but also control potential moisture damage in their home. We had one of our dedicated sales team members visit them for a complete assessment. During the inspection, it became clear the excess moisture in the crawl space was contributing to the pest problems and threatening the overall health of their home environment. We recommended the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system as the most reliable solution to tackle their issues.
In Wayne, NJ, a homeowner grew concerned after noticing visible concrete settlement around their backyard pool deck. The uneven surfaces not only posed a potential tripping hazard but also significantly diminished the aesthetic appeal of their outdoor space. With summer gatherings approaching, the homeowner wanted to address the issue quickly and effectively. Understanding the importance of a long-term solution, they reached out to Quality 1st for professional help.
Upon arrival, our System Design Specialist conducted a comprehensive inspection of the pool deck to determine the root cause of the settlement. It was clear that shifting soil and voids beneath the concrete had caused sections of the slab to sink. Our specialist explained the problem in detail and recommended a customized repair plan that would both lift the settled areas and prevent future damage. The proposed solution involved our innovative PolyLevel Foam Injections, combined with NexusPro Joint Sealant for added durability.
Our experienced crew began the repair by drilling small holes into the affected concrete sections. Through these holes, we injected PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane foam that expands to fill voids and lifts the concrete back to its original position. The foam cured within minutes, providing immediate stabilization. Once the concrete was level, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to fill and protect the cracks and joints. This flexible, UV-resistant sealant prevents water infiltration, which can lead to further erosion and settlement.
By the end of the project, the pool deck was completely restored, safe, level, and visually appealing. The homeowner was thrilled with the quick turnaround and minimal disruption to their property. Most importantly, they gained peace of mind knowing that their pool deck was not only repaired but also protected from future issues. Thanks to our tailored solution, the homeowner can now enjoy their outdoor space with confidence and pride!
A homeowner in Wayne, NJ found themselves grappling with a persistent and troubling issue: ongoing moisture intrusion in their crawl space. This unwelcome moisture not only threatened the structural soundness of the home but also posed serious concerns for indoor air quality and overall living conditions. Frustrated and unsure of how to proceed, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for professional guidance and a lasting solution.
Our team of waterproofing specialists promptly responded with a extensive inspection, identifying the root causes of the moisture problems. Based on the unique conditions of the crawl space, we devised a dynamic and customized solution. The first step was the installation of our patented StarPipe Drainage System, designed to capture groundwater and direct it safely away from the foundation. To enhance moisture resistance and thermal performance, we added SilverGlo Insulation Panels and Drainage Matting, working in tandem to regulate temperature and protect against damp conditions.
To further ensure water would never accumulate unchecked, we installed the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, a high-efficiency system engineered specifically for crawl spaces. This pump is equipped with a reliable liner, airtight lid, and alarm system, providing peace of mind and automatic water removal in the event of intrusion. To complete the encapsulation, our team applied the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable liner that seals out moisture, mold, and pests, effectively isolating the home from the earth below.
The transformation was remarkable. What was once a damp, unhealthy crawl space became a dry, insulated, and protected area that now supports better air quality, structural integrity, and energy efficiency throughout the home!
In Wayne, NJ, a frustrated homeowner had grown increasingly concerned about their backyard patio, where years of concrete settlement and surface decay had turned a once-inviting outdoor space into a hazard. The uneven slabs not only detracted from the aesthetic of the yard but also created trip risks and drainage issues that threatened the foundation of nearby structures. Wanting a long-term solution without the cost and disruption of total replacement, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for professional help.
After assessing the extent of the damage, our team of concrete repair specialists proposed a highly effective and minimally invasive fix. We used our PolyLevel Foam Injection System, a state-of-the-art method for lifting and stabilizing sunken concrete. This process involves injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slabs, which expands to gently raise them back to their original position. The result is a level surface that restores both safety and usability, without the mess or downtime of traditional concrete replacement.
But our team didn’t stop at just leveling the concrete. To address the underlying cause of the settlement, poor water drainage, we also installed our TrenchDrain System along the perimeter of the patio. This specially designed drainage system intercepts and redirects surface water away from the area, preventing erosion and water pooling that can lead to future settlement. With both the PolyLevel and TrenchDrain systems working together, the patio now has a solid foundation and superior water management.
The transformation was immediate and impactful. The homeowner regained a functional and attractive outdoor space, now safe for family gatherings and everyday use. More importantly, the improvements protected the patio from future damage, giving the homeowner long-term peace of mind. Thanks to Quality 1st’s fast response and innovative solutions, this Wayne, NJ backyard is once again a place to enjoy, not worry about!
In Collegeville, PA, a homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st after noticing a vertical crack in a corner of their basement wall. It was a familiar problem where attempts to patch with sealant failed, only exacerbating concerns about potential water infiltration and structural damage. Our recommendation focused on implementing the FlexiSpan wall crack repair system, renowned for its reliability under conditions characterized by soil expansion and fluctuating hydrostatic pressure. The actual repair process was methodical and expertly handled by our installation team.
Water seepage had started to affect the basement of a Little Falls, NJ home, leaving behind discolored walls and early signs of mold growth. The homeowner recognized that without proper intervention, the moisture could compromise the structural integrity of their foundation and negatively impact indoor air quality. Wanting a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix, they turned to Quality 1st for professional help.
Our team responded by sending a System Design Specialist to assess the full extent of the issue. During the inspection, we identified areas where water was entering and how the damp conditions were creating a breeding ground for mold. Based on our findings, we designed a custom waterproofing solution centered around the installation of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This durable, mold-resistant liner was carefully installed along the basement walls, creating a sealed barrier that prevents groundwater and moisture from entering the space.
With our CleanSpace System fully in place, the basement underwent a dramatic transformation. The once damp, musty area became a clean, dry, and protected environment. Not only did the installation stop the ongoing water intrusion, but it also improved the home’s indoor air quality and helped preserve the structural integrity of the foundation. The homeowner now enjoys greater peace of mind, knowing their basement is safeguarded from future moisture problems!
