This homeowner in Mount Laurel, New Jersey noticed their basement wall was bowing inwards. This occurs because poorly compacted and saturated soil around the foundation creates hydrostatic pressure against the walls. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Javier Romero, provided an inspection and suggested they use a wall reinforcement system. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System which is made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall and secured with heavy-duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position.

A homeowner in Berlin, NJ was tired of constantly worrying about the trip hazard on their front porch. The concrete beneath the slate had sunk over the years, creating a gap between the step and the porch. After deciding that they did not want to go through the process of replacing the entire porch, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our Concrete Repair Specialist, Andy, inspected the area and determined that installing PolyLevel (our concrete lifting and leveling solution) would effectively remove the trip hazard. On the day of the installation, Ash and his team prepared the area and completed the installation. Once the installation was complete, the porch was level again and the homeowner no longer had to worry about anyone tripping while walking up to their home.
