A Forked River, NJ homeowner needed additional support added to their floor joist and beams. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after doing research online and seeing our support system known as SmartJack Crawl Space Reinforcement System.

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.
This Linden, NJ home was struggling with foundation and water damage that was posing a great threat to the homeowner's living space.
