Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Summit, NJ grew concerned after noticing growing cracks and bowing in their garage walls, clear signs that something was wrong beneath the surface. Recognizing these as early indicators of foundation settlement, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection and determined that the foundation was shifting due to unstable soil conditions, which had compromised the structural integrity of the garage.

To permanently resolve the issue, we designed and implemented a customized solution using our patented Push Pier System. These heavy-duty steel piers were driven deep into stable, load-bearing soil layers, bypassing the weak ground causing the settlement. Once installed, the piers allowed us to lift and stabilize the foundation, effectively halting further movement.

With the garage now fully supported and structurally sound, the homeowner can move forward with peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home’s safety and longevity!

A homeowner in Scotch Plains, NJ was dealing with the serious effects of foundation settlement and basement water seepage caused by shifting soils and ongoing moisture intrusion. Cracking walls and a damp, musty environment raised concerns about long-term damage and safety. Looking for a reliable, permanent fix, they contacted Quality 1st to assess the situation and provide a tailored solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team designed a dynamic repair and waterproofing plan. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation and direct it to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for fast, efficient removal. To ensure year-round protection, we added an IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent backups during freezing temperatures. For structural reinforcement, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, using high-strength carbon fiber straps to stabilize bowing walls and stop further movement.

With these advanced systems in place, the basement is now dry, stable, and protected for years to come!
