Before & After Photos

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!

A homeowner in Denville, New Jersey noticed their basement walls were cracking and bowing inwards. This happens when the soil around the home becomes too wet or too dry causing the foundation to shift and move. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection and suggested they use a high strength carbon fiber strap on the wall. Our foreman installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System which provides ultimate strength in stabilizing the walls. 

A homeowner in Denville, NJ noticed their garage walls were cracking and slightly bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our System Design Specialist, Lazslo L., inspected the walls and recommended the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the perfect solution. Carbon Armor is designed to stabilize bowing and cracking walls. The system is flexible and ten times stronger than steel. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home. 

The owners of this Allentown, NJ home wanted to put their home on the market as soon as possible. The horizontal crack in their foundation wall would prevent them from selling the property and needed to have it repaired. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed Power Braces to the walls to stop them from bowing and prevent furthing cracking of the foundation. The house is now safe and ready to be put on the market!

Ongoing water intrusion had turned the crawl space of a home in Egg Harbor Township, NJ into a damp, musty environment, leaving the homeowner increasingly anxious about potential mold growth and long-term structural damage. After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified several contributing issues, including poor drainage and inadequate moisture control.

To address the problem at its source, we installed our patented Drainage Matting to direct water efficiently to a new SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, ensuring excess moisture could be removed quickly and reliably. To safeguard against cold-weather clogs, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes or becomes blocked.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space and prevent future moisture intrusion, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, creating a durable, sealed layer across the floors and walls. To further enhance the indoor air quality, we included our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which maintains low humidity levels and helps protect against mold and mildew. Finally, we reinforced the sagging floor structure above with our SmartJack Support System, an adjustable, high-capacity support solution designed to stabilize and lift weakened beams.

With this complete system in place, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, healthy, and structurally secure environment, allowing the homeowner to enjoy lasting comfort and confidence in their home's foundation!
