Before & After Photos

Recently in Absecon, NJ, we had the privilege of assisting a homeowner who was facing a collection of concerns regarding their home's sustainability and safety. The call came to us after the homeowner noticed some shifting in their home’s foundation, comprised primarily of cinder blocks, as well as urgent needs for waterproofing and outside insulation. We proposed a tailored solution using CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and our SmartJack system. The CleanSpace liner was to be installed in the crawl space to provide a solid water vapor barrier, preventing future moisture or water damage. SilverGlo insulation panels were placed to enhance energy efficiency. To the pressing issue of the home’s shifting foundation, we deployed our SmartJack system, providing solid support to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation to its original position. 

This homeowner had a concrete slab in their backyard that was beginning to crack. In order  to keep the concrete from shifting, our polylevel team sealed the cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.

A homeowner living in Plainfield, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basements for a solution to the water they were experiencing in their basement. System Design Specialist, Laura M. went out to meet with the homeowner, inspect the basement and design a permanent solution. 

Laura recommended a full perimeter waterproofing system to prevent future leaks and flooding of the basement. The WaterGuard drainage system would collect the water seepage and direct it straight to the SuperSump pump. Now the basement will stay dry and healthy! 

This Plainfield homeowner had a cold and damp crawl space that was causing issues in the rest of her house. Her first floor was sagging due to improper support, and the first floor always felt cold in the winter. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SmartJacks to stabilize the crawl space then insulated the crawl space with SilverGlo crawl space insulation and sealed the crawl space with the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system.

This Plainfield, NJ crawl space was very humid and causing a moldy smell in this home. Quality 1st Basement Systems sealed the crawl space with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. Outside air getting into a crawl space causes humidity and moisture which creates musty smells and a haven for mold in crawl spaces. This homeowner now has a healthy crawl space and no longer has musty smells in his home!
