Before & After Photos

When the homeowner noticed vertical cracks in their basement wall they called Quality 1st to do the job. System Design Specialist, Ken Peare, did a full inspection of the basement to make sure that these cracks were the only cracks in the foundation of the home. Foreman, Melvin Cardoza, installed FlexiSpan into the cracks sealing them to prevent water from coming through. First bead of Sealant is placed inside the crack to stop crack leakage. A FlexiSpan Foam Drain Strip is then placed over  as a second form of protection against water leakage through the first seal, followed by the permanent seal overlay. 

This homeowner in Mount Laurel, New Jersey noticed their basement wall was bowing inwards. This occurs because poorly compacted and saturated soil around the foundation creates hydrostatic pressure against the walls. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Javier Romero, provided an inspection and suggested they use a wall reinforcement system. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System which is made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall and secured with heavy-duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position. 

A homeowner in Flemington, New Jersey needed their foundation stabilized and contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Helical Piers were installed in order to restore the foundation. Helical Piers have helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil and provide an anchor as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. Helical Piers are a fast, effective installation and can help lift settled foundations back to the original level.  

A Marlton, NJ homeowner noticed the floor on the first level of their home was sagging and uneven. Their home sits on a crawl space and therefore our Crawl Space Specialist knew right away the problem was coming from below. What happens is the crawl space beams and floor joist lack the support needed for the floor above. The best solution for this problem is our 

SmartJack Crawl Space Support System which restore stability to the floors by providing the additional support it needs. 

Wall cracks caused by ongoing foundation settlement had this Burlington, NJ homeowner increasingly worried about the safety of their basement, especially as the damage worsened over time and raised the risk of a potential wall collapse. Concerned for their home’s structural integrity, they turned to Quality 1st for expert assistance.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection to determine the full extent of the damage and identified that immediate structural reinforcement was necessary to prevent further deterioration and ensure safety.

To address the issue efficiently and effectively, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System, a cutting-edge solution crafted from fiber-reinforced polymers that bond directly to the foundation walls. Unlike traditional repair methods, CarbonArmor requires no excavation, making it a minimally invasive yet highly durable option to permanently stabilize bowing and cracking walls. With the system in place, the basement’s structural integrity was fully restored, providing the homeowner with a secure, stable space and peace of mind for years to come!
