If a home's foundation is combatting water pressure from the soil pushing in on the walls, it can lead to cracks or bowing that signal a weakness in the home's structure. For any homeowner noticing this evidence in their basement, this can be a very daunting problem. Luckily, Quality 1st has the right systems to address foundation repair and reinforce and stabilize your foundational structure. The homeowner of this Livingston, NJ home turned to Quality 1st to fix the large horizontal crack and slight bowing to the wall to restore the safety and stability of the home's foundation.

Our crew addressed the failing wall with our EverBrace Wall Restoration System which completely transfers the weight from the affected wall onto the new, steel wall. This is a permanent solution to compromised foundation walls. With this installation, this home has a replaced foundation support that is strong, reliable, and long-lasting.

The system is flexible and ten times stronger than steel. Carbon Armor does not effect future plans to finish the basement and secure the foundation in place to provide this homeowner with peace of mind.
