Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The sidewalk leading up to the stairs at this home in Newfield had settled, creating a large trip hazard. After hearing about PolyLevel on Facebook, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basements to inspect their concrete. A Concrete Repair Specialist headed out to the home and created a plan to raise the concrete. On the day of the installation, our team raised the slabs by injecting Polyurethane foam beneath them. Once the slabs were leveled, the team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal off the area and prevent water and wind from eroding the soil beneath the slabs again. The area is now completely trip hazard free and safe for pedestrians. 

A homeowner in Stockton, NJ, observed signs of foundation damage evident in the uneven surface of their home's floor. Over time, the settling of the house had resulted in bowing and cracking of the foundational support beams. The improper placement of piers and the use of deteriorating materials had rendered the existing support inadequate for the home's full weight. Our team of experts at Quality 1st recognized how to effectively reinforce the foundation and level the floors.

We installed our SmartJack Support System as a permanent foundation support solution. These piers, constructed from galvanized steel, are adjustable to accommodate the specific needs of a weakening foundation. This installation provided a durable reinforcement for the home’s foundation, leveling the floors and alleviating the homeowner's concerns.

Pittstown, NJ homeowner had a 14x14 sinking slab in the screened in porch area of the home. System Design Specialist, Ken Peare, inspected the entire porch and measured 3inch of settlement in total. Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to lift the slab with PolyLevel. The Q1 team drilled small penny size holes into the sinking slab and injected PolyLevel underneath. The PolyLevel solution hardens, raising the slab back to its orignal level.  

This concrete patio in Pittstown, New Jersey, was sinking and becoming unleveled. This happens because concrete is poured over backfilled soil around the home. Over time, this loose soil settles and creates voids under the concrete. As water runs through the cracks and joints in the concrete, it washes out the soil as it passes through. This causes the concrete to shift and settle. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek came up with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested a polyurethane foam to fill the space under the concrete. Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, used the PolyLevel Injections to stabilize the concrete. This is done by drilling tiny holes in the slab so the polyurethane foam can fill the voids underneath. This will allow the concrete to be lifted and leveled. 

This Pittstown, NJ, homeowner reached out after recognizing signs of settlement surrounding their backyard pool deck area, and in order to eliminate tripping hazards and a complete decline in the structural integrity of the walkway, the owner sought out an efficient and long lasting solution.

Once we extensively inspected the surface, our repair team administered our high-performance PolyLevel Foam Injections directly beneath the sunken portions of concrete, this process successfully restored and lifted the slabs to their designated surface height.

Thanks to PolyLevels restorative capabilities, we have effectively repaired and leveled this pool deck, delivering this homeowner with much needed peace of mind for many years to come!
