Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Kendall Park, NJ encountered foundation issues that jeopardized the stability of their residence. Clearly visible cracks along the basement walls indicated significant pressure affecting the foundation, which, if not addressed promptly, could lead to a complete collapse of the wall. Our skilled team at Quality 1st implemented a noninvasive preventative installation to rectify the situation. CarbonArmor strips were securely bonded to the compromised foundation walls using a high-strength epoxy resin, effectively reinforcing and stabilizing the structure. With the installation of these strips, we successfully restored the home's stability and provided the homeowner with peace of mind.

A Monmouth Junction, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems describing their basement walls had began to move inwards. We call this, bowing, and it is usually caused by hydrostatic pressure against the foundation from the opposite side. The solution we recommended for a basement wall experiencing this type of movement, is the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System. The Carbon Armor Straps are applied to the wall with an epoxy adhesive which stabilizes the walls. 

The GeoLock wall anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and in many cases can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall and are then connected to steel channel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. The holes in the lawn are filled once the anchor is in place. Over time, the anchors can be tightened from the inside to move the wall back to its original position.

In Rockaway, NJ, a homeowner observed signs of foundation settlement on the side of their home, with visible cracks in the walls and floors that were becoming increasingly uneven. The shifting foundation was beginning to cause doors and windows to stick, which raised serious concerns about the structural integrity of the property.

After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a thorough inspection and recommended our specially patented Helical Pier System as the best solution. The installation process involved driving steel piers deep into soil to anchor and lift the foundation back to its original position, stabilizing the structure permanently.

Once the piers were fully installed and the home was leveled, the homeowner was extremely relieved to have their property restored to a safe, stable condition, eliminating further settlement risks and ensuring long-term foundation protection!

This homeowner was noticing the foundation walls in their basement were cracking and bowing inward which are signs of wall failure. Our team installed PowerBraces Wall Reinforcing System along the walls to stabilize and support the foundation. These braces are adjustable to allow gradual movement back towards their original position.
