Our Senior Foreman Victor and his team stabilized this home with our CarbonArmor System. First, they prepared the wall surface by sanding away the paint so that the epoxy resin would bond to the concrete. Once the straps adhered to the wall, The ArmorLock bracket was connected. Another coat of epoxy resin was applied to completely secure the strip. Rest assured that the CarbonArmor and ArmorLock Systems will immediately stabilize your foundation walls and permanently protect against any further inward movement.
A resident in Manahawkin, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging and becoming bouncy. The cause of this could be from the existing columns being spaced too far apart, or they have settled. If these columns are spaced too far apart, the beam can become overloaded and sag between the columns. Weak soil can also cause the columns to sink or settle, creating a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, and our System Design Specialist, Steve Ventriglio, provided an inspection of the home. He suggested they use a steel support system to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists. Our foreman, Jonathan Neira, used the SmartJack Support System in the crawl space. This system does not replace the existing columns, but they add strength and stability to what is there. These are installed by digging out a hole where the SmartJacks will go. Then, high strength galvanized steel tubing is assembled and connected to the support beam and the SmartJack System is tightened into place. The support beam and floor joists are immediately stabilized and the above floors can be lifted back toward level.
Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a low profile foundation reinforcement system in Passaic County, NJ to fix the cracking foundation. Our CarbonArmor wall reinforcement system prevents foundation walls from bowing forward and protects home's foundations. These carbon straps may look simple, but they are ten time stronger than steel and contour tightly to the wall.
A Wayne, NJ homeowner noticed the exterior of their home's foundation was sinking, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We used the Helical Pier System to stabilize the foundation, preventing it from settling. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home.
A Ringwood, New Jersey homeowner noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System to stabilize the walls and prevent them from bowing further. Next, we removed the old existing sump pump system and replaced it with our WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump pump. Now that this basement has a full perimeter system and our Wall Reinforcement System, this Basement is 100 percent protected!
