Before & After Photos

A Manchester, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after noticing a stair-step crack forming on the exterior block of their home's foundation. Our System Design Specialist, Jay A., provided a thorough inspection of the home. After, he presented his findings to the homeowner, along with a quote. A few days later, our crew arrived at the home to install the Helical Pier System. Helical Piers are designed to lift and stabilize your home's foundation. The system is below grade, so it will be easily covered after installation. Since the repair, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home.

A Whiting, NJ, homeowner became concerned for their home after finding significant gaps forming between the walls and floor on the first level of their home. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to have someone inspect their crawl space to determine the cause behind their floor sagging. Our Crawl Space System Design Specialist, Anthony, performed a thorough inspection and noticed the floor joist and crawl space beams were sagging. Anthony could see that they were in good condition but lacked support, and he recommended installing our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. SmartJacks are installed against each crawl space beam to support the floor above. Gradually, this system can bring the floor back to its original position over time. 

The walls of this garage in Essex Fells, NJ home were developing cracks, so the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. System Design Specialist, Frank, provided a full inspection of the garage and indicated the home was undergoing early stages of foundation settlement. As a solution, Frank recommended the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System, which stabilizes the walls and prevents them from cracking. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home.

This Vauxhall basement had cracks in the foundation. Knowing the problem needed to be fixed before further structural damage, the homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and asked for a free estimate. The inspector suggested wall anchors, which will support and stabilize the foundation. The wall anchors are made out of steel plates and heavy-duty anchoring rods. For this Vauxhall home, the basement walls were held into place with the anchors, which will straighten the walls over time so more cracks will not form. Wall anchors can be installed year round, with minimal disturbances to the home. Now this home is safe, and the property value has gone up with the structural integrity of the wall anchors.

The owner of this Woodbridge home was in the process of selling his home when his real estate agent pointed out horizontal and stair step cracks in the basement. Foundation issues like these get worse over time and can reduce property value. The realtor recommended the seller to Quality 1st Basement Systems for the foundation repair. The installation team installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the walls. The repair was completed in one day, and the seller no longer has to worry about a stable foundation and being able to sell his home.
