Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Seaside Park, NJ noticed their floors were sagging, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to find a solution. Our System Design Specialist arrive to the home, on time, and provided a full inspection and quote for the homeowner. After providing their full inspection, our system design specialist knew our SmartJack System would be the perfect solution. SmartJacks are installed against the sagging beam to provide additonal support. This system is adjustable and so over time the beams can be brought back towards their original level. 

A homeowner in Seaside Park, New Jersey noticed the floors in their home were sagging, their walls were cracking, and the main beams in the crawl space were unsound. These are all the symptoms of foundation settlement. When a crawl space is built, block columns could be spaced too far apart, which can lead to overloading and sagging between the columns. Weak soil can also cause the existing columns to sink or settle, which creates a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder it was supporting. This can pose as a safety issue not only to the homeowner, but to the home as well.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement System and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to help them come up with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested steel support system to help stabilize the foundation. Our foremen installed the SmartJack System, which do not replace the existing columns, but they help to bring strength and stability to the foundation. This process is done by assembling the steel beams into the soil. The support beams and floor joists are immediately stabilized and the above floors and walls will be lifted and stabilized. The support system is engineered to support large homes and load-bearing wall construction.

A homeowner in Little Silver, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after finding their floors were sagging. Our System Design Specialist, Lazslo Lenkey, provided a fully inspection on the home and recommended additional stability to the floor beams. To provide extra support and stop the sagging sensation, Laszlo recommended our SmartJack System would be the perfect solution. 

Quality 1st Basements provided permanent support to an old building in Red Bank, NJ. Our crews installed PowerBraces on the failing floor joists to stabilize and prevent further damage to the foundation. Our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System consists of steel I-beams that stabilize and potentially straighten anything bowing, tilting inward or buckling. Next our SmartJackXP Support System was installed to provide additional support to the PowerBrace and therefore more support to the structure of the building. 

The first floor of this Red Bank, NJ home was sagging, so the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We thoroughly inspected the floors and discovered the cause was the lack of support from the crawl space beams. We installed the SmartJack Support System to help stabilize the floors. This system gets adjusted over time to bring the beams back to their original level position gradually.
