Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Vauxhall basement had cracks in the foundation. Knowing the problem needed to be fixed before further structural damage, the homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and asked for a free estimate. The inspector suggested wall anchors, which will support and stabilize the foundation. The wall anchors are made out of steel plates and heavy-duty anchoring rods. For this Vauxhall home, the basement walls were held into place with the anchors, which will straighten the walls over time so more cracks will not form. Wall anchors can be installed year round, with minimal disturbances to the home. Now this home is safe, and the property value has gone up with the structural integrity of the wall anchors.

Looking to buy a new house, a prospective Fairfeld homeowner was told by her inspector that the property had weak footing. Concerned about her basement walls bowing and damaging the rest of the house, she called Quality 1st Basement Systems to fix her basement walls. The CarbonArmor reinforcement system is a low-profile repair solution to cracked and bowing basement walls. CarbonArmor is installed from the inside of the home with high-strength epoxy resin that absorbs pressure from the wall. After installation, CarbonArmor can be concealed with a coat of paint, so it is the perfect solution to homeowners concerned about their basement appearance. Now this home is safe for purchase and has strengthened walls that will last.

After a homeowner began noticing the floors on their first floor were sagging they contacted their local experts, Quality 1st Basement Systems to get an estimate on sagging floor repair. We sent Foundation Specialist, Jack Huber, out to inspect the floors and the basement beams to ensure there was enough support. 

Upon inspection he realized the sagging floors were due to lack of support to the basement beams and floor joist. He recommended our SmartJack Stabilizer System to provide the support the beams needed. Each SmartJack is installed underneath the sagging beam and properly adjusted to allow gradual movement back towards its original position. 

The SmartJack XT system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.

Once installed in your crawl space, SmartJack XT supports can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames.

Because of its design, the SmartJack XTcan be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary.

An Avenel, NJ homeowner noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards and because of this, cracks started to form vertically down the wall.  Our System Design Specialist, Laszlo, performed a full inspection and recommended to properly stabilize the foundation walls and prevent further movement, Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the best solution.
