Basement and Crawl Space Waterproofing, Foundation Structural Repair Contractor in Wayne

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!

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 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, New Jersey contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a wet basement solution. We knew waterproofing the basement would help keep the basement dry and healthy. 

The main components of the waterproofing system included our WaterGuard French Drain System, CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. WaterGuard will collect water that seeps into the basement, and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, where it will be pumped away from the basement. CleanSpace will block out moisture and humidity from passing through the basement walls. 

Since the installation, the basement has stayed dry and healthy!

This homeowner in Wayne, New Jersey noticed their concrete stairway was sinking and causing tripping hazards. This can happen from soil erosion underneath the concrete. As water runs down through the cracks in the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through. If this goes without repair, someone could trip and injure themselves.

The homeowner did not want this to go without repair, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after finding us online. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Joseph DelVecchio. Joseph provided an inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to raise the concrete.

Our foreman, Ramon arrived at the home a few days later and began using our PolyLevel Injections. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. PolyLevel can be installed within 20 minutes and will not add any weight to the existing soil. 

When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy with the results! They did not have to worry about tripping on their concrete anymore!
