Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nutley, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging in between the floor joists.  The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection of the home and suggested they use support beams. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, used the SmartJack System and supplemental beams to lift and strengthen the floors above. Once Esau and the Quality 1st crew finished, the first floor was stabilized.

Faultiness in a home's foundation wall is a daunting issue to face for any homeowner. The basement in this Island Heights, NJ home was experiencing the beginning stages of bowing in its foundation walls. Carrying on without repairing a bowing wall poses a great threat to the structure of a home, where damages can become much more severe, and eventually irreversible. Luckily, our team at Quality 1st can provide a solution that prevents foundation walls from bowing any further. Our System Design Specialist Anthony was able to give this home a proper inspection to recommend the best solution to the shifting foundation. Our crew and Foreman, Heriberto, then came to the home to carry out the installation of our Carbon Armor Wall Reinforcing System. Our Carbon Armor strips are ten times stronger than steel and are bonded to the interior walls. This gives a flexible but sturdy solution to the bowing or cracking of foundation walls, and leaves homeowners very happy with the non-invasive results!

This customer was concerned with sinking and uneven floors in the home. Foundation Repair Specialist Steve Ventriglio inspected the existing support system of the home and proposed SmartJack Support System in conjunction with PowerBrace Supplemental Beam. To provide additional support and stabilize the home, Foreman Victor Leon and his crew installed the foundation products, providing peace of mind to the customers.

The horizontal crack in this Lincroft, NJ basement only got worse over time as most foundations problem do. Quality 1st Basement Systems inspected the basement and noticed that the crack spanned almost the entire width of the basement! Wall Anchors were used to repair this foundation crack. Wall anchors are embedded in the soil away from the foundation wall because that soil has not been compromised like the backfill soil around the home. This wall has now been stabilized and will return back to its original position as the Wall Anchors are tightened.

Homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basements when they noticed their chimney started leaning away from the home. We sent Senior Foundation Specialist, Ken Peare, out to design a solution using one of our foundation stabilizer systems. We installed two Helical Piers deep down underneath the foundation and chimney. Using the weight of the home we were able to stabilize the chimney.
