Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Easton, PA was facing the most extreme case of foundation failure: the cinderblock walls were shifting, crumbling, and separating from the home completely. This condition left the home unsupported which raised concerns for the homeowner in regards to the safety of their home. To address such a major failure in a home's foundation Quality 1st has a support solution that permanently shifts the home's weight load onto new, heavy-duty wall panels. The EverBrace Wall Restoration System is specifically designed for cases like this where brick, cinderblock, or stone foundations experience wall failure. Without any exterior disruption, EverBrace steel panels are installed on the interior of the compromised foundation wall and secured with steel beams. A specially designed foam is then injected behind the wall to fill the space and transfer the load from the failing wall to the new EverBrace system. This system is a powerful and permanent solution to the worst cases of foundation failure and will guarantee this home the support it needs!

Large horizontal cracks formed on the walls of this unfinished basement located in Warrington, PA.  They feared this was a sign of settlement with the home's foundation, so they contacted us for a free estimate. Foundation Design Specialist, Mike, could tell the cracks were due to the force of hydrostatic pressure on the opposite side of the wall. To secure the walls in place, he recommended the CarbonArmor Reinforcement System. Since the installation, the homeowner's peace of mind has been restored.

We sent Foundation expert, Mike PettyJohn out to perform a full inspection and provide the best recommendation.

Quality 1st Basement Systems was contacted by a homeowner in Hatboro, PA. The homeowner noticed the first level of their home was sagging. Our team discovered the wooden beams underneath the floor boards lacked the proper support needed to stabilize the floors. We installed the SmartJack System to help support the crawl space beams and straighten the above floors.
