Toms River, New Jersey's Trusted Contractor for Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space & Foundation Repair

A homeowner in Toms River, NJ recently reached out to us with concerns about their home's stability. They'd noticed that their floors were extra squeaky and even seemed to shake at times. Cracks were also beginning to appear in their walls, an issue they couldn't ignore any longer. Upon the homeowner's initial contact with Quality 1st, we promptly scheduled a detailed inspection with our sales team. During the visit, our experienced inspector identified that the issues were originating from the home’s crawl space. The structural integrity was being compromised, which was causing floor instability and the concerning cracks. To address these problems, we recommended and subsequently installed the SmartJack System. Our production team, comprising skilled installers, went to work. They started by setting up a solid foundation using engineered fill to bolster the existing structure. The galvanized steel columns of the SmartJack system were cut to precise lengths and installed methodically on a sturdy 12-inch steel base. These were then secured to the home’s girders with top brackets designed for busy households. This approach not only stabilized the beams and floor joists but also worked to restore the floors to their original elevation.  

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Toms River, NJ, who faced a common yet frustrating problem: a wet basement. Water had started seeping into their basement, threatening the space they hoped to use for storage and occasional gatherings. Upon noticing the issue, the homeowner reached out, seeking a lasting solution. Our process began with the homeowner contacting our customer service team, where we promptly scheduled an inspection. One of our knowledgeable Sales Team members visited their home to perform a thorough inspection and assess the problem. It was clear that water seepage was disrupting their peace, and a reliable fix was essential. Based on the detailed assessment, we recommended installing our WaterGuard drainage system, renowned for its efficiency and discreet design. 

This homeowner is a long-time customer of ours! He was extremely satisfied after his recent annual maintenance appointment where our service tech, Chris, performed yearly maintenance on his SuperSump pump system our team installed in 2016. Here is a photo of the satisfied customer!

A homeowner in Toms River, NJ, faced significant structural issues with their front sidewalk, which had resulted in substantial settlement and cracking, leading to an uneven and hazardous surface that detracted from their home's curb appeal. Concerned about unsafe walking conditions and the overall aesthetic appeal, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution.

After a thorough inspection, our system design specialist Nelson recommended PolyLevel Foam Injections to address the settlement. This technique involved our foreman Ash to inject our specially formulated high-density polyurethane foam beneath the sunken concrete slabs, which expanded and hardened to lift the sidewalk back to its original level and provide long-term stability. To complete this essential repair process, our ultraviolet resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to fill the cracks and joints, offering a durable, flexible barrier against water infiltration and further damage from possible erosion.

The result was a significantly improved sidewalk that was not only safer and exponentially more stable but also entirely enhanced in appearance, restoring the homeowner's confidence in their exterior space and showcasing Quality 1st Basement Systems’ effective approach to concrete repair challenges!

This Toms River, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering their pool deck had settled two inches deep. Before they could close their pool, the homeowner wanted to make sure their deck was fully repaired and ready for the next summer. After searching the Internet for possible solutions, the homeowner found Quality 1st Basement Systems and thought they would be the perfect fit.

After speaking with our customer service representative, the homeowner scheduled an appointment for our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe, to provide a full inspection and quote for the pool deck. Once Chris arrived at the home, he inspected the pool deck and recommended the Polylevel Injection would be the perfect solution. Within the next few days, our crew arrived to repair the pool deck. 

First, our crew drilled small, penny-like holes into the concrete slab. Next, using specially designed equipment, our crew injected small structural graded polymers into the void. Once the void has been filled, the polymers expand raising the concrete slab to its desired height. This process is repeated until the pool deck has been fully raised. Finally, our crew used sealed any cracks and gaps using our NexusPro Seal. 

In conclusion, the repair project was a success. The homeowner was thrilled to see their pool deck fully repaired and ready to be closed for the winter. 

A homeowner in Toms River, NJ knew it was time to have their sidewalk repaired after the concrete slabs were uneven. Uneven concrete provides numerous home issues including decreasing property value, creates tripping hazards, and providing an unclean look for the home. The homeowner did not want these problems to occur, so they contacted their most trusted contractor, Quality 1st Basement Systems. 

After a quick phone call, the homeowner scheduled an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe. Once Chris arrived at the home, he measured the concrete slabs to indicate how deep they have sunken. Concluding that the sidewalk had sunken three inches deep, Chris knew this would be an easy repair using our PolyLevel Injection. 

Our Polylevel Injection is our most used and best method of repairing concrete. The polymer foam is completely waterproof, environmentally friendly, and has a fast recovery time of fifteen minutes. Unlike mudjacking, Polylevel is injected through small penny-like holes in the slabs, so it does not create a big mess. 

After the installation was done by our Polylevel Specialist, Sean Johnson, and crew, the sidewalk had been fully repaired. The homeowner was very happy with the process and is relieved to see their sidewalk glowing with its new look. 

This homeowner living in Toms River, NJ needed their basement waterproofed. The homeowner was referred to Quality 1st Basements to help waterproof their basement. System Design Specialist, Kenneth Peare, inspected the homeowner's basement and recommended certain products to help waterproof their basement. The major components of the homeowner's waterproofing system included the instillation of Waterguard, TripleSafe SumpPump, and SaniDry XP. 

The WaterGuard collected water that seeped through the basement walls and drained it to the sump pump. WaterGuard installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning the homeowner didn't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. The TripleSafe SumpPump removed water from the basement while providing three levels of protection. It has a second pump for large volumes of water and another pump that runs on a back up battery in case of a power outage, which can be really useful. Finally, the SaniDry XP dehumidifies the homeowner's basement, leaving it dry and water free.

Project Manager, Juan Garcia, installed the waterproofing products in the homeowner's basement. Now the homeowner's basement pumps out water clean and efficiently leaving it dry and clean.

Mr. M. from Toms River, NJ had a concrete patio area around his pool which was beginning to sink.  It was potentially a trip hazard due to the difference in height of the slabs.  One day, while listening to the radio, Mr. M. heard about Quality 1^st Basement Systems.  After further research and more curiosity, he wondered if the PolyLevel process advertised for lifting and leveling concrete could be the solution he was searching for, so he called Quality 1^st and scheduled an appointment for a free estimate.

Certified PolyLEVEL professional Maurice Robinson visited Mr. M. and inspected the concrete area around the pool.  He explained how the PolyLEVEL system is a quick fix for sinking concrete slabs.  The process involves the injection of structural grade polymers beneath the concrete slabs through small holes, lifting and leveling the area.  The environmentally friendly material used in this process is less porous than concrete and will not wash out or deteriorate in the ground.    

Mr. M. decided to have Quality 1^st Basement Systems complete the work and, since PolyLEVEL cures within 15 minutes, the concrete area around his pool was soon no longer a tripping hazard and ready to be walked on again in almost no time!
