Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Tree Roots Damage Oaklyn Basement

When a huge tree dug its roots into the basement wall of an Oaklyn home, the owner had the tree removed, but not before the damage to the cinder block foundation was done. Vertical and horizontal cracks scarred the basement wall and it was starting to bow inwards causing puddles to form on the floor every time it rained.  When they called Quality 1st, Jessica Long, a Basement and Foundation Expert, went out to assess the problem. She recommended installing the PowerBrace System to restore structural integrity to the home. The PowerBrace system is a patented support system that will allow for potential straightening of the wall over time. Installed along the problem wall, it's clean, zinc coated, and rust resistance appearance allows for full use of the basement. Jonathan Neira, a Quality 1st Installation specialist, had his crew install 8 PowerBraces along the wall and now the basement of this Oaklyn home is secure. The homeowner was thrilled to have such a simple, yet permanent solution to the structural problems in his basement. Now he tells everyone to call Quality 1st Basement Systems for all their basement and foundation needs!
