Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Baltimore, MD, a homeowner noticed signs of foundation settlement around their basement, including cracks in the walls and floors. As the settlement worsened, water intrusion became a growing issue, creating an unhealthy and unstable environment. Concerned about the long-term structural integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and solution. Our team responded promptly, conducting a thorough inspection to fully understand the extent of the damage and the underlying causes.

After assessing the situation, we developed a customized waterproofing and repair strategy. Our solution included the installation of the SmartJack Support System to stabilize and lift the settling foundation, effectively addressing the structural issues. Additionally, we installed our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent the discharge line from freezing during cold weather, ensuring proper water drainage year-round.

With these systems in place, the foundation was successfully stabilized, and the basement was transformed into a dry, stable, and healthy space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in their home’s long-term stability.
