Before & After Photos

A Jersey City, NJ homeowner was interested in adding some extra support for their crawl space, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System as the best solution. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other floor problems in their home.

System Design Specialist, Kenny T. designed a solution for the sagging floor joist in the basement of this Jersey City home. Our team installed 3 SmartJack XT braces to immediately stabilize the floors above. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems was contacted by this homeowner in Jersey City, New Jersey due to their foundation wall becoming unstable and bowing inwards. Our System Design Specialist, Dane Cuccinello, provided an inspection and suggested they install a wall reinforcement system. This will allow the walls to become stable and safe. Our foreman arrived a few days later and installed our Carbon Armor Wall Reinforcement System. CarbonArmor is a long-lasting and durable system that's ten times stronger than steel. It's intended to stabilize the foundation walls and is applied to the wall with epoxy resin. When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy to see their walls were stabilized!

A homeowner in Ocean Gate, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging in the upper levels of the home. Sagging floors are a common sign of a foundation issue. This can happen because when crawl space columns are spaced too far apart, the beam can become overloaded and sag between the columns. This means this girder sags with it and so does the floor above.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joseph Mancini, was able to provide an inspection and help them find a plan to fix this issue. He suggested they use a steel support system in the crawl space to assist the columns in supporting the home. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, used The SmartJack System in the crawl space to lift the floors above to their original position. This process is done by assembling the components and tightening the SmartJack system into place. The support beam and floor joists are immediately stabilized and lifted to their original position. This system is not to replace the existing columns, but to add strength and stability to what is there. 

This homeowner in Ocean Gate, NJ noticed some structural instability in their crawl space due to the moisture present. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended SmartJacks and a vent cover.

SmartJack support posts were installed to permanently stabilize and lift the sagging beams back into place, restoring the strength and level of their floors above. To further protect the space, the crew sealed the open vents with durable crawl space vent covers, keeping out moisture, pests, and cold air. Now, the homeowner have a stronger, healthier home from the ground up with even floors, improved comfort, and a cleaner crawl space environment.
