Before & After Photos

A Lake Hopatcong, NJ homeowner was interested in installing extra floor support in their crawl space, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. As a solution, we installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Each SmartJack is installed to the floor joist and beam to add additional support. Over time, this system can gradually raise the floor joist back towards their original position. 

A Tenafly, NJ homeowner noticed the first level of their home was sagging. Concern that something was wrong with the structure of their home, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an inspection with one of our Foundation experts. Mike F., met with the homeowner and did a full inspection of the crawl space below the first level. He noticed right away that the floor joist and crawl space beams showed signs of stress and lacked support. Overtime, this caused the floors on the first level of the home to settle.   As a solution, we installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. The system is designed to add additional support to the beams and floor joist, stabilizing the floors. 

The floors of this Flemington, NJ home were sinking and settling causing stress to the flooring on the first level. The homeowner was extremely concerned that ignoring this problem, the issues would get worse. They decided to reach out to  Quality 1st Basement Systems to have a Crawl Space Foundation expert out to do a proper inspect and provide them with a solution to securing their floor. System Design Specialist, Joe M, met with the homeowner, performed a full and thorough inspect, and recommended our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. SmartJacks are installed against the floor joist and crawl space beam to provide additional support to prevent movement. 

If you notice cracking or bowing walls in your home, these may indicate foundation settlement, which can deteriorate over time. A homeowner in Pilesgrove, NJ, took action to address foundation settlement concerns after noticing these issues in their basement. We installed our heavy-duty PowerBrace Wall Repair System, which successfully stabilized the wall and enhanced the structural integrity of the entire space. As a result, the homeowner can now have peace of mind regarding the stability of their foundation.

In Highland Park, NJ, a homeowner started observing cracking and bowing conditions along their basement walls, a clear indication of foundation settlement that was resulting in persistent water seepage. To avoid further structural deterioration and potential mold-growth, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent repair solution. 

Upon arrival, our team closely inspected the basement walls and were able to evaluate the most effective repair approach, our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. The team began installing CarbonArmor along the bowing basement walls by using a specially formulated epoxy, ultimately strengthening and fully stabilizing the walls to their original position. 

With CarbonArmor successfully in place, the homeowner noticed an almost immediate improvement in the structural integrity of the basement, providing them with a completely renewed sense of pride in their home!
