Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Don't let your home's foundation cause irreversible damage! Saturated soil surrounding the foundation of a home creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes inward. Over time, this pressure can force foundation walls to crack, bow, and, in severe cases, completely buckle and collapse beneath the home. In the case of this Millburn, NJ home, the foundation wall was suffering from serious bowing, putting the structural integrity of the home on the line. 

Quality 1st's team was able to provide the home a reliable and reinforcing solution. We used our Helical Push Pier System to restore the foundation's strength and provide an opportunity to lift it back in place. These steel piers are installed on the exterior of the home and are screwed into stronger soil underground, securing the weight load of your home onto the new piers. Our crew then restores the excavated soil back so the supporting system is completely hidden from view.

A Hewitt, NJ homeowner noticed stair-step cracks forming on the outside of their home's foundation. They immediately contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. They needed to address the cracks and ensure their foundation was stable so they met with our Foundation Specialist, Javier. We know that when a foundation starts to move and settle, cracks form which is the main indicator.  Our crew installed the Helical Pier System to stabilize the foundation and prevent it from settling further. 

A Hewitt, NJ homeowner was experiencing sagging floors on the first level of their home. They noticed that there were gaps where the floor and molding met. when walking in certain areas, the floors would squeak. Specialist, Joe Mancini, did a full inspection of the first floor and in the crawl space. He discovered the floor joist and beams were sagging due to high moisture in the space. Keeping the crawl space dry prevents damage to the wood and structure inside the crawl space.  Quality 1st Basement Systems recommended our  SmartJack Crawl Space Support System as the best solution. SmartJacks are installed against the beams, providing additional support to the sagging floor. We also installed our moisture vapor barrier, CleanSpace to stop dampness and moisture from passing through the foundation walls. 

A Hewitt, NJ homeowner noticed their crawl space was undergoing some dampness and humidity problems, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We installed the CleanSpace Moisture Barrier as the best solution. CleanSpace prevents dampness and humidity from passing through the crawl space, keeping it dry and healthy.

We installed our SmartJack stabilizers to provide additional support to prevent future movement to the floor.
