Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Berkeley Heights, NJ noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards. They were concerned for the integrity of their foundation and wanted an opinion from a specialist. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent Foundation Specialist, Jason, to inspect the basement walls and provide a solution for wall movement. Upon inspection he noticed cracking in the interior walls which was caused by hydrostatic pressure from the soil on the opposing side. He recommended our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System since it stabilizes the basement walls and prevents future movement. Not only does this system restore the peace of mind to the homeowner, it also won't effect any future plans they will have to finish the basement. 

As a homeowner, it can be daunting to observe signs of a compromised foundation in your residence. Symptoms such as bowing walls, sagging floors, and cracking walls may indicate the need for additional structural support. This homeowner in Berkeley Heights, NJ, sought the expertise of Quality 1st to provide the necessary and protective restoration for their home. Our team implemented two distinct foundation solutions: CarbonArmor Straps and our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. CarbonArmor consists of carbon fabric strips bonded to affected foundation walls, while the Wall Anchor System utilizes galvanized steel beams to brace the wall, preventing any further movement. Additionally, our team installed a new waterproofing system in the basement, which includes a vapor barrier, a new drainage system, and an upgraded sump pump. The WaterGuard Drains were placed around the perimeter below floor level to efficiently channel any leaking water into the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The CleanSpace lining on the walls prevents water from seeping in and flooding the area, directing it instead into the new drainage system. This enhanced waterproofing system will provide further protection to the basement against water damage, ensuring the foundation remains stabilized and reinforced, thanks to the expertise of our Quality 1st team.
