Before & After Photos

As a homeowner, it can be daunting to observe signs of a compromised foundation in your residence. Symptoms such as bowing walls, sagging floors, and cracking walls may indicate the need for additional structural support. This homeowner in Berkeley Heights, NJ, sought the expertise of Quality 1st to provide the necessary and protective restoration for their home. Our team implemented two distinct foundation solutions: CarbonArmor Straps and our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. CarbonArmor consists of carbon fabric strips bonded to affected foundation walls, while the Wall Anchor System utilizes galvanized steel beams to brace the wall, preventing any further movement. Additionally, our team installed a new waterproofing system in the basement, which includes a vapor barrier, a new drainage system, and an upgraded sump pump. The WaterGuard Drains were placed around the perimeter below floor level to efficiently channel any leaking water into the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The CleanSpace lining on the walls prevents water from seeping in and flooding the area, directing it instead into the new drainage system. This enhanced waterproofing system will provide further protection to the basement against water damage, ensuring the foundation remains stabilized and reinforced, thanks to the expertise of our Quality 1st team.

In Berkeley Heights, NJ, a homeowner was growing increasingly frustrated with basement moisture that returned after every significant rainfall. The constant dampness was affecting not only the comfort of the space but also raising concerns about mold, air quality, and potential structural damage. When they reached out to Quality 1st, our team quickly identified the core issue, poor drainage around the foundation that allowed water to consistently seep in during wet weather.

To address the problem comprehensively, we installed a custom waterproofing system designed to manage water at every entry point. This included our WaterGuard Drainage System, strategically placed above the footing to collect seepage while avoiding soil clogging. We paired it with our SuperSump Premier Pump System, offering powerful and dependable water removal, even during heavy storms. To complete the system, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier and direct wall moisture into the drainage system.

Together, these components now keep the basement dry, healthier, and fully protected, giving the homeowner renewed peace of mind and the confidence to reclaim their space.

A Parsippany homeowner noticed that the concrete slabs on her walkway were uneven and needed to be raised. Quality 1st Basement Systems raised her concrete slabs using PolyLEVEL which is a much neater and cheaper alternative to mudjacking. PolyLEVEL is injected through very small holes and can be walked on that same day!
