Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Summit, NJ grew concerned after noticing growing cracks and bowing in their garage walls, clear signs that something was wrong beneath the surface. Recognizing these as early indicators of foundation settlement, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection and determined that the foundation was shifting due to unstable soil conditions, which had compromised the structural integrity of the garage.

To permanently resolve the issue, we designed and implemented a customized solution using our patented Push Pier System. These heavy-duty steel piers were driven deep into stable, load-bearing soil layers, bypassing the weak ground causing the settlement. Once installed, the piers allowed us to lift and stabilize the foundation, effectively halting further movement.

With the garage now fully supported and structurally sound, the homeowner can move forward with peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home’s safety and longevity!

The homeowner was converting their basement space into a living space for a relative moving into the home. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed an Egress Window in this Summit, NJ home to bring the basement bedroom up to code. Now these homeowners can rest assured that in case of emergency, there is an additional exit from the basement.

What began as subtle floor unevenness soon became a clear sign of a deeper structural issue for this Ventnor City, NJ homeowner. Concerned about worsening conditions, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for help.

During our inspection, our specialists discovered that prolonged moisture exposure and gradual foundation settlement had caused the crawl space support beams to weaken and deteriorate. This deterioration led to visible bowing in the walls and uneven flooring throughout the home, signaling the need for immediate and permanent structural reinforcement.

To correct the problem and restore stability, our team designed a customized repair solution utilizing our SmartJack Support System. These high-strength, galvanized steel supports were strategically installed on engineered fill bases to ensure a solid, load-bearing foundation. Once in place, the SmartJacks immediately stabilized the crawl space and lifted the floor joists back to their proper position. The result was a structurally sound and level home, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and confidence in the long-term safety and integrity of their property!

This homeowner from Ventnor City, NJ noticed uneven floors, sticking doors, and sagging beams which are often signs of a weakened crawl space structure. One of our System Design Specialists recommended the SmartJack System, an adjustable steel support designed to stabilize and strengthen floor joists and beams. During installation, SmartJacks are placed on engineered footings to provide solid, lasting support beneath the home. Once in place, they can be precisely adjusted to help restore floors to their original position and prevent further settling. The result is a safer, sturdier foundation and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the structure is properly supported for years to come.
