The floors of this North Jersey basement were always cold. Since concrete is cold and pourous, it can cause an uncomfortable environment in any basement. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed ThermalDry basement floor tiles throughout the basement. ThermalDry basement flooring is completely waterproof which means water vapor will not be able to enter the basement. ThermalDry floor tiles also provide a thermal break between the concrete and the rest of the basement and will keep this basement ten degrees warmer! The homeowners are very pleased with their new basement flooring and use the space as a gym.
A homeowner in Rockaway, NJ, was having humidity problems in their crawlspace from all the water that kept coming in from heavy rainfall. Quality 1st Basements came to the job site and cleaned out the crawl space from all the debris and installed our durable Clean Space Liner to keep the area dry and mold resistant. Not only does this protect your crawl space but it increases the value of the home as it keeps the crawl space clean and healthy.
The GeoLock wall anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and in many cases can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall and are then connected to steel channel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. The holes in the lawn are filled once the anchor is in place. Over time, the anchors can be tightened from the inside to move the wall back to its original position.
One day while doing laundry, this homeowner noticed water coming into their basement. At first, they thought that their washing machine was leaking, but when they took a closer look, they realized that the water was coming in through the walls of the basement.
System Design Specialist, Greg L. inspected the home and provided the homeowner with a proposed solution. Greg's proposal included the installation of the WaterGuard Drainage System & TripleSafe Sump Pump. Once the system was installed, the homeowner no longer had to worry about water seepage.
The slab in front of the steps at this Rockaway, NJ home was sinking and settling. Jeff and the team worked together to raise the existing slab back to level with PolyLevel. This polyurethane is a lightweight and environmentally friendly foam that provides additional support to the soil.
