Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Bridgewater, NJ, was experiencing horizontal cracks all over the wall. Moisture and frost, interact with the soil around the home and then cause the soil to expand. That expansion results in constant inward force on the foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing, and tipping.

Senior Foundation Foreman, Jonathan Neira, arrived at the job site and started to sand down the area where the Carbon Armor strips were going to be placed. Team members then saturated the Carbon Armor Straps with epoxy resin and placed it on the affected area. The strap is 10 times stronger than steel therefore gave this homeowner a piece of mind.

With help from Senior Design Specialist, Ken Peare and Foundation Foreman, Jonathan Neira, Quality 1st Basements was able to stabilize this failing and unstable foundation with our Helical Pier Foundation System. 

Each Pier has a plate welded to the shaft which helps to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provides anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. Helical Pier installation is fast, yet effective. Not only does it stabilize the foundation permanently but can help lift the settled foundation back towards its original position. 

The owners of this home noticed horizontal cracks in their cinderblock foundation that only got worse over time. Quality 1st Basement Systems helped their neighbors with same issue the year before, so they knew who to call. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor along the walls of the basement to stabilize the wall. This wall is now safe and will not continue to bow and crack.
