Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The foundation of this East Brunswick, NJ home was failing. The homeowner had noticed that the basement walls were bowing so he contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. The installation team fixed the foundation walls using Channel Support Brackets to stop the walls from sliding out of place. The home is now safe and stabilized!

Horizontal cracks in this foundation wear signs of a failing foundation. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed PowerBraces to permanently stabilize these foundation walls. The PowerBrace system is zinc coated which means it is resistant to corrosion, reduces abrasion and wear, and creates a non-toxic surface, making it the best solution for these basement wall cracks. This home now has a safe basement and is no longer at risk of bowing walls and cracks.

A homeowner in East Brunswick, NJ discovered their basement wall was bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to find a solution. We provided a thorough inspection and knew the PowerBrace System would be the perfect fit. PowerBrace is designed to stabilize bowing basement walls. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home.

This Lake Hiawatha, NJ, homeowner was facing significant foundation settlement concerns in their crawl space due to persistent water seepage. The moisture was causing the floors above to sag, creating an uncomfortable living environment with musty odors, mold growth, and uneven flooring. Worried about the long-term effects on the structural integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help.

After assessing the situation, our team identified the root causes: poor drainage, water infiltration, and inadequate vapor protection. We recommended a dynamic solution to address these issues and restore the crawl space’s health. Our crew began the restoration by installing our patented Drainage Matting, which allowed any trapped water to flow freely away from the foundation, preventing further moisture buildup. Next, we covered the entire crawl space floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, effectively sealing out moisture and creating an airtight barrier to eliminate humidity and musty odors. To address the foundation settlement, we installed our SmartJack Reinforcement System, lifting and stabilizing the sagging floors.

The combination of these solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, stable, and healthy environment, protecting the homeowner’s foundation and ensuring peace of mind for years to come!

The basement wall had a large crack that was allowing water to seep through. Since concrete naturally shrinks, you need a system that will work with the movement of the wall.  We recommended FlexiSpan as the perfect solution for these types of situations. 

FlexiSpan is a flexible sealant, made up of open-cell foam and waterproof sealant. The entire crack is sealed and designed to move to make sure the crack is permanently sealed.
