Jessica contacted Quality 1st Basements after noticing multiple signs of sagging floors. She had gaps between the floor and the interior wall from the floors sloping. Some of her doors and windows that use to operate succesfully were now sticking or wouldn't close. We sent System Design Specialist, Ken Peare out to inspect the crawl space and sit down with Jessica to discuss why her floors are sagging and the perfect solution to stable her crawl space beams!
Ken noticed signs that at one point water had gotten into her crawl space. The moisture from the water over time rotted the wood and deteriorated part of the floor joist. All of this caused her crawl space beams to sag creating uneven floors on the first level of her home. Ken recommended our SmartJack System, as the perfect solution to raise and stabilize the beams and the floor.
A homeowner in Neptune City was in need of a new sump pump as the old one did not function properly. Quality 1st Basements installed a Super Sump Classic alongside the Waterguard French drain system. The Super Sump Pump is a great value as it can remove up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour smoothly and quietly. This gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement was protected.
To have a healthy and clean basement you need to make sure the space is dry and sealed properly. When we say sealed, we mean making sure all areas where water and drafts can find their way through, don’t. Most of the time when your basement floods, water is coming up through the wall, window or the floor. We recommend replacing your basement windows and installing a Full Waterproofing System to ensure water never finds a way in. Waterproofing only a section where you see water now is only a temporary fix. If you want a permanent solution, full perimeter is the way to go.
As discouraging as a wet basement can be not only to one's health but to the risk of property damage,a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System with its powerful cast-iron pump is capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water out of the basement per hour. With a battery backup pump to keep the basement dry during power outages and a WaterWatch alarm to alert the homeowner to a pump failure, this customer was able to have peace of mind after installation.
This homeowner in Neptune, New Jersey noticed their concrete walkway was becoming unlevel and dangerous. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution, and our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, was able to provide an inspection. Joe suggested they use polyurethane foam to bring the concrete towards a level position. Our foreman used PolyLevel Injections by drilling tiny holes into the slab. Then, they injected the foam into the voids underneath to bring the slab to a level position. Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about tripping hazards!
