Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Easton, PA noticed troubling signs of foundation settlement, including uneven floors and small cracks in the basement walls, which raised concerns about the long-term stability of their home. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation. After a thorough inspection, our team identified that the basement’s support beams had weakened and were no longer effectively carrying the weight of the structure, contributing to sagging floors and increased stress on the foundation.

To resolve the issue, we installed our patented SmartJack Support System, a durable and adjustable solution designed to provide lasting structural support. These galvanized steel piers were strategically positioned beneath the failing beams and hydraulically adjusted to lift and stabilize the sagging joists. Our corrosion-resistant SmartJacks transfer the home’s load to solid, stable soil deep underground, preventing further settlement and restoring the foundation’s integrity. With the SmartJack system securely in place, the homeowner’s basement and entire home are now stabilized, safe, and protected against future damage.

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!

Our inspection revealed that prolonged moisture exposure and natural soil pressure had contributed to the wall movement and foundation settlement. To ensure a lasting repair, our specialists designed a dynamic solution featuring our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System and SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, both engineered to stabilize and protect the home’s foundation.

The CarbonArmor System utilizes high-strength, carbon fiber straps that are bonded to the interior wall surface, providing exceptional reinforcement without the need for extensive excavation.
