Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Rockaway, NJ, a homeowner observed signs of foundation settlement on the side of their home, with visible cracks in the walls and floors that were becoming increasingly uneven. The shifting foundation was beginning to cause doors and windows to stick, which raised serious concerns about the structural integrity of the property.

After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a thorough inspection and recommended our specially patented Helical Pier System as the best solution. The installation process involved driving steel piers deep into soil to anchor and lift the foundation back to its original position, stabilizing the structure permanently.

Once the piers were fully installed and the home was leveled, the homeowner was extremely relieved to have their property restored to a safe, stable condition, eliminating further settlement risks and ensuring long-term foundation protection!

After hearing about Quality 1st through a magazine, this Warren, NJ homeowner called for a free estimate. The foundation of his home had cracked and was beginning to bow out. System Design Specialist, Kenny T. inspected the foundation and determined that installing Our GeoLock Channel Anchor System would be the best solution. 

On the day of the installation, Victor and his team installed the system to support and stabilize the foundation. First, they dug a small trench in the dirt outside of the foundation. Next, they drilled a hole through the wall to drive the rod into the soil. The rod was then connected to an anchor in the earth and attached to the inside wall plate. Once the wall plate was attached, the soil and sod were replaced and compacted. The last step was to tighten the anchors one last time. 

Once the installation was complete, the foundation was completely stabilized and the homeowner no longer had to worry about their basement walls cracking and bowing anymore. 

A homeowner in Denville, New Jersey noticed their basement walls were cracking and bowing inwards. This happens when the soil around the home becomes too wet or too dry causing the foundation to shift and move. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection and suggested they use a high strength carbon fiber strap on the wall. Our foreman installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System which provides ultimate strength in stabilizing the walls. 

A homeowner in Denville, NJ noticed their garage walls were cracking and slightly bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our System Design Specialist, Lazslo L., inspected the walls and recommended the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the perfect solution. Carbon Armor is designed to stabilize bowing and cracking walls. The system is flexible and ten times stronger than steel. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home. 

The owners of this Allentown, NJ home wanted to put their home on the market as soon as possible. The horizontal crack in their foundation wall would prevent them from selling the property and needed to have it repaired. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed Power Braces to the walls to stop them from bowing and prevent furthing cracking of the foundation. The house is now safe and ready to be put on the market!
