Before & After Photos

SmartJack installation in a basement at Roselle Park, NJ. The SmartJack System was installed to stabilize a sagging floor.

A South Orange, NJ homeowner noticed a vertical crack forming along their basement walls, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for help. We provided a thorough inspection of the home and found the foundation was settling. As a solution, we installed the Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home. 

Signs of worsening foundation settlement began to appear in a South Orange, NJ basement, where shifting soil and persistent moisture were causing the walls to bow. Recognizing the seriousness of the issue, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a long-term, professional solution. Our team conducted a extensive inspection to assess the extent of the damage and identify the underlying causes, allowing us to design a repair approach tailored specifically to the home’s structural needs.

To stop the movement and reinforce the compromised walls, we installed our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, engineered to provide high-strength stability without invasive construction. In addition, we incorporated our Drainage Matting to improve moisture management and direct water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of future deterioration.

With both systems in place, the basement was fully stabilized, restoring the home's structural integrity and delivering the lasting protection the homeowner needed!

Quality 1st Basement Systems was contacted by this homeowner in Oakland, New Jersey due to their foundation wall becoming unstable and bowing inwards. Our System Design Specialist, Greg Louis provided an inspection and suggested they install a wall reinforcement system. This will allow the walls to become stable and safe. Our foreman Jonathan, 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.
