Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

This Spotswood, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering water seeping into their basement. Our System Design Specialist, Randy Halal inspected the area and discovered the basement was undergoing foundation issues along with water issues. He discovered the walls were cracks and bowing inwards, allowing water to seep into the basement when it rained. 

Steven then recommended the best solution would be install our Triple Safe Sump Pump, to pump out the unwanted water, and PowerBrace System by Supportworks, to help stabilize the home. In addition, Steven also recommended our CleanSpace Barrier should be installed to prevent any dampness and humidity from forming.
