This West Orange, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after noticing their floors on the first level were sinking and settling. Our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, inspected the area and discovered the cause were weak wooden beams underneath the floors. Overtime, wooden beams can sag due to high levels of moisture inside the crawl space.
Laszlo presented this to the homeowner and suggested our SmartJack System by Supportworks is the perfect solution. Our SmartJack System provides support for the weakened crawlspace beams and fully stabilizes them. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experience any sagging in their home and has been fully satisfied.
Quality 1st Basements installed Push Piers next the footings of the home and are attached with a heavy duty steel bracket. Once the home is stabilized and lifting is complete, the soil is back filled, where they stay out of site. We recommended the Push Piers because they are a permanent solution for a settling foundation when the soil conditions below are unknown.
We stabilized a foundation for a commercial building in Linden, NJ. Our Foundation Repair Specialist recommended Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation and prevent future settlement.
This Linden, NJ home was struggling with foundation and water damage that was posing a great threat to the homeowner's living space. Foundation walls were showing signs of bowing and cracking which set off a sense of urgency in the homeowner to find a way to fix it. To resolve these issues and restore the home's structural integrity, our team at Quality 1st stepped in to provide a solution.
To address the bowing problem of the wall, we equipped the basement with our PowerBrace Repair System. These strong steel beams were secured to the joists above the wall that was experiencing movement. This system is adjustable, allowing the potential of straightening bowing walls over time. With our experience and our successful products, we were able to ease the homeowner's mind and restore the integrity of their home!
