Before & After Photos

This basement had bowing walls with horizontal and vertical cracks which the NY homeowner knew were signs of foundation problems. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to meet with a specialist who could provide a permanent solution. System Design Specialist, Jeff Nero, recommended Carbon Armor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the basement walls. The larger strips are fiber reinforced polymers that are ten times stronger then steel and will slowly pull the wall back to its original position. Carbon Armor is a quick installation with no impact on future basement finishing making it a great solution for this unfinished basement.

This homeowner in Ardsley, New York had a basement in need of a foundation repair. This home had a bowing cinderblock foundation wall in his basement and Quality 1st Basement Systems was notified immediately to fix this safety hazard. The installation team installed CarbonArmor to repair the bowing foundation wall and this homeowner also wanted Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels on his basement walls. This New York homeowner now has a safe basement and the bowing foundation wall problem has been fixed.

Homeowner living in Flushing, NY had large cracks in the basement walls. Some the length of the entire wall while others were corner or staircase cracks. A crack in a basement wall is a sign of settling foundation. When the soil underneath the home can longer support the weight the house will either settle or shift putting pressure on the walls causing them to separate and crack.

Quality 1st applied FlexiSpan to the wall crack to prevent further water leakage. The crew installed a first sealant over the crack followed by the FlexiSpan Foam Drain Strip  as a second line of defense, lastly the tough, waterproof overlay is applied to provide a permanent seal to each crack.
