Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

With help from Senior Design Specialist, Ken Peare and Foundation Foreman, Jonathan Neira, Quality 1st Basements was able to stabilize this failing and unstable foundation with our Helical Pier Foundation System. 

Each Pier has a plate welded to the shaft which helps to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provides anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. Helical Pier installation is fast, yet effective. Not only does it stabilize the foundation permanently but can help lift the settled foundation back towards its original position. 

The owners of this home noticed horizontal cracks in their cinderblock foundation that only got worse over time. Quality 1st Basement Systems helped their neighbors with same issue the year before, so they knew who to call. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor along the walls of the basement to stabilize the wall. This wall is now safe and will not continue to bow and crack.

This Bridgewater, NJ, homeowner was facing indications of foundation settlement around their basement, walls were beginning to crack and bow leading to concerns about the overall health of the basements structural integrity. The homeowner contacted our team of repair professionals at Quality 1st, seeking a permanent solution. 

In order to entirely repair and stabilize the basement, our team installed our heavy-duty CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, made from strong carbon fiber, this system provides a durable, non-invasive way to reinforce the walls, prevent further movement, and restore the structural integrity of your home, all while being discreet and requiring no excavation, making it a cost-effective and long-lasting repair strategy!

The foundation walls in this Bridgewater, NJ home were bowing and beginning to crack. The homeowner knew that something had to be done to stabilize the walls, so they contacted Quality 1st Basements. System Design Specialist, Ken P. went to inspect the home and suggested that the homeowner have Carbon Armor installed. The CarbonArmor System is the perfect solution for bowing and cracked walls. The material used to create the product is the same technology that the Army Corps Engineers developed to reinforce bomb shelter, skyscrapers & bridges. The flexible carbon fabric straps are up to 10x stronger than steel. The installation is quick and requires no excavation. A huge benefit of having CarbonArmor installed rather than steel beams is its compact nature. They can easily be painted over and won't impact basement finishing.
