Before & After Photos

A Howell, NJ homeowner found their basement walls bowing inwards and cracking. We resolved the problem by installing the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System, which stabilizes the bowing walls. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home. 

What began as small, almost imperceptible shifts in the basement walls quickly became a source of concern for a Howell, NJ homeowner. Continuous moisture exposure combined with foundation settlement caused noticeable bowing, signaling potential structural issues that could worsen over time. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the homeowner turned to the trusted experts at Quality 1st to develop a lasting solution that would protect both their home and their peace of mind.

After a detailed inspection of the basement walls, the team crafted a fully customized repair plan tailored to the specific challenges of the space. This plan involved the installation of our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System, a high-strength solution engineered to stabilize and secure bowing walls. With CarbonArmor in place, the basement walls were fully reinforced, halting further movement and preventing future cracking.

The homeowner now enjoys a dry, secure, and structurally sound basement, along with renewed confidence in the long-term durability of their home!

Quality 1st Basement Systems stabilized this foundation in Staten Island, New York with a PowerBrace wall repair system. These zinc-coated I-beams can be adjusted over time and tightened to keep the foundation secured. They prevent wall cracks and bowing.

This Staten Island basement had water coming through a crack in the foundation wall. Quality 1st Basement Systems fixed it with FelxiSpan - a three part solution to fix cracks in basement walls. FelxiSpan ends leaks with a flexible sealant, pourous foam, and a watertight membrane. Water will never get through FlexiSpan, and is rerouted down to the basement drainage system. Now this foundation crack is sealed and safe, and the basement will stay dry.
