Staten Island, New York Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space & Foundation Repair Contractor

Disheveled concrete around a backyard patio can quickly become more than just an eyesore, it can pose safety risks and lead to further structural issues if left unaddressed. That’s exactly what a Staten Island, NY homeowner was dealing with as they watched their patio slabs gradually sink and shift out of place. These symptoms pointed to concrete settlement, a common problem caused by shifting soils, erosion, or poor compaction beneath the slab. Concerned about the worsening condition and potential hazards, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

After a detailed inspection of the patio area, our System Design Specialist identified the root cause of the settlement and recommended our innovative PolyLevel Foam Injection system. This modern solution involves drilling small, strategically placed holes into the concrete and injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the surface. As the foam expands, it fills any voids in the soil and lifts the concrete back to a level position. Unlike traditional mudjacking or full replacement, PolyLevel is lightweight, non-invasive, and offers greater precision and long-term durability.

Once the repair was completed, the transformation was immediate. The previously uneven and disjointed patio was now level, stable, and visually restored, ready for safe use once again. The homeowner was not only impressed by the quick turnaround and clean installation process but also relieved to know they had chosen a lasting solution. With PolyLevel in place, they can now enjoy their outdoor space worry-free, knowing it’s supported by a strong and reliable foundation!

Concerned about worsening conditions beneath their home, a Staten Island, NY homeowner reached out to Quality 1st after discovering excessive moisture buildup in their crawl space. The rising humidity levels had sparked serious concerns about the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and declining indoor air quality. Knowing the risks of leaving the issue unaddressed, the homeowner was determined to take proactive steps to protect their property and health.

Upon arrival, our experienced crew conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space to identify the sources of moisture intrusion and determine the best course of action. We recommended a full crawl space encapsulation system to address the underlying problems and provide lasting results. The project began with the installation of our patented Drainage Matting, which was carefully laid to direct water toward proper drainage channels, preventing pooling and water retention beneath the home.

To further enhance the crawl space’s performance, we installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the walls. These panels are engineered with a reflective surface and closed-cell foam that not only improves thermal efficiency but also adds an extra layer of moisture resistance. This upgrade helps regulate temperatures year-round and supports overall energy savings for the homeowner.

The final step was the application of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This durable, multi-layer liner was securely sealed along the floor and walls to lock out ground moisture and high humidity. With the system fully installed, the crawl space was transformed into a clean, dry, and stable environment. The homeowner now enjoys improved air quality, enhanced structural protection, and the peace of mind that comes from a long-term moisture control solution!

Recently, homeowners in Staten Island, NY, contacted us at Quality 1st due to a persistent musty smell that pervaded their home. This unwanted odor was traceable to their damp crawl space, which was affecting both their indoor air quality and comfort. Upon receiving their call, we promptly scheduled an inspection with one of our sales team members. During the thorough examination of the crawl space, it became evident that excess moisture was not only causing the smell but also posing a risk of mold growth and wood decay. To address these issues, we proposed using our SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation and CleanSpace encapsulation system, both effective solutions in keeping crawl spaces dry and healthy. Our production team, consisting of experienced foremen and installers, commenced the process. First, SilverGlo panels were carefully installed along the crawl space walls, providing a combined R-11 insulation and vapor barrier system. This advanced material is designed to repel moisture, thus preventing any water intrusion which can lead to the formation of mold. Next, our team fitted the CleanSpace liner throughout the crawl space. Durable, with a sleek appearance, the CleanSpace encapsulation system created an airtight seal over the ground. 

A homeowner in Staten Island, NY, recently faced a frustrating issue: a crack in the garage wall that was starting to allow water to seep through. Not only did this problem risk further damage, but it also concerned the homeowner about potential foundation issues. After evaluating the crack, and understanding the need for a reliable solution, we suggested the FlexiSpan crack repair system. This method was chosen due to its effectiveness in accommodating slight wall movements without losing watertight integrity. Our professional production team, led by an experienced foreman and skilled installers, got to work. The first step involved applying a flexible sealant along the length of the crack. We then installed a strip of flexible, porous foam over the crack, which required precision to ensure no future water seeped through unsuspectingly. To ensure durability, an impermeable membrane was placed on both sides of the foam strip, allowing any infiltration to be redirected invisibly into the basement’s perimeter drainage system. By implementing this system, we eliminated the homeowner's worry about future leaks or wall instability due to pressure changes. 

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Staten Island, NY, who was experiencing a particular challenge with their basement. Every time it rained heavily, they noticed water coming in, but only in a specific section of the basement. Concerned that the issue might worsen over time, they reached out to Quality 1st, hoping to nip the problem in the bud. After the homeowner contacted our Customer Care team, we quickly scheduled a thorough inspection of the basement. Our System Design Specialist dropped by, meticulously assessed the situation, and pinpointed the underlying issue. His recommendation? A triad of solutions consisting of our WaterGuard interior drainage system, the reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our task was clear. The production team, spearheaded by our seasoned foreman alongside skilled installers, dived right into work with precision and care. First, we strategically placed the WaterGuard around the troubled section to intercept any incoming water. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed, designed to efficiently evacuate any water captured, ensuring the basement stays dry even during the heaviest of downpours. Completing our solution, we lined the walls with CleanSpace, effectively warding off any moisture and creating a healthier basement environment. 

A homeowner in Staten Island, New York made a call to Quality 1st Basement Systems when they noticed their concrete walkway was beginning to sink and become unlevel. This happens because concrete is often poured over backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath, causing the concrete to shift. This could be dangerous because someone could trip and injure themselves.

The homeowner was connected to our customer service representative where they were matched with our System Design Specialist, Jonathan Seminerio. Jonathan provided an inspection of the home and he noticed how the concrete was sinking, and he suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift it.

Our foreman arrived at the job site and began the process of using the PolyLevel Injection System. This is done by drilling tiny holes into the slab and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. This process can be completed within a day. PolyLevel is a lightweight solution that will not add weight to the existing soil underneath.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy with the outcome. They were able to safely walk on their concrete walkway without the hazard of tripping. 

A homeowner in Staten Island, New York was experiencing water and moisture getting into their crawl space. This occurs because the soil around the foundation becomes saturated during heavy rainfall. This wet soil creates hydrostatic pressure and pushes water to seep in through the walls. A wet crawl space can have many negative effects such as musty smells, damp carpets, increased energy bills, and even mold growth and pests.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Mike Fiorillo, provided an inspection of the home and helped them find a solution to this issue. Upon his inspection of the site, Mike saw how the crawl space was attracting moisture and water. Mike suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to seal it from the earth's elements.

Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, arrived on the site and installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This system will ensure that the crawl space keeps moisture and water out, and stays dry. This is installed by removing debris from the crawl space, leveling uneven surfaces, carefully fitting the system to the crawl space, and then installing it with drilled-in spikes and fasteners. CleanSpace gives the crawl space a bright appearance and makes for the perfect storage space.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the outcome. Their crawl space was transformed into a bright storage space, and they no longer had to worry about moisture and water getting in.

A homeowner in Staten Island, NY discovered their basement walls were leaking every time it rained, causing puddles in their basement. They knew this would lead to serious issues, so they needed to find a solution fast. After asking their neighbors, the homeowner was referred to Quality 1st Basement Systems.

After a quick phone call with our customer service representative, an appointment was scheduled for our System Designs Specialist, Javier Romero, to go and fully inspect the basement. Javier arrived at the home, on time, and fully inspected the basement; after fully inspecting the basement, Javier then recommended our WaterGuard French Drain System and Triple Safe Sump Pump would be the perfect solution for the homeowner. 

Our WaterGuard French Drain System is designed to collect water seeping through the basement walls and directs it to the Triple Safe Sump Pump, where the water can be pumped away from your basement. With these products installed, the basement will be fully dry and secure.

After the installation, the homeowner did not experience leaks in their basement, resulting in their full satisfaction with Quality 1st Basement Systems. 

When Jason from Staten Island decided to refinish his basement he was choosy about the floor. He knew a concrete slab could have water vapor issues even with a waterproofing system installed, so he called Quality 1^st Basement Systems. Nick Biris, a System Design Specialist, met with Jason to explain the best options for a dry and healthy basement floor.

Nick recommended the ThermalDry Flooring System. Carpets and wood floors are never a good option for a basement. Water vapor can pass through resulting in soggy carpets, rotting wood and a perfect breeding ground for mold. ThermalDry’s unique design prevents water vapor from passing through and is unaffected by mold. The raised pegs on the bottom of the ThermalDry Flooring create an air space preventing water vapor from getting trapped. ThermalDry comes in tile, carpet, or a wood-look parquet that will suit any décor. Jason chose the Canyon Beige tile, a more neutral color that would go well with the furniture he planned to put in this basement.

Juan Garcia, a Quality 1^st Flooring Installation Specialist, brought the crew out to Staten Island and had Jason’s basement floor installed in record time. Jason loves the attractive finished look of his basement and loves to show off his Quality 1^st Basement floor to everyone.
