Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

A homeowner in Ocean Gate, New Jersey noticed their floors were sagging in the upper levels of the home. Sagging floors are a common sign of a foundation issue. This can happen because when crawl space columns are spaced too far apart, the beam can become overloaded and sag between the columns. This means this girder sags with it and so does the floor above.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joseph Mancini, was able to provide an inspection and help them find a plan to fix this issue. He suggested they use a steel support system in the crawl space to assist the columns in supporting the home. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, used The SmartJack System in the crawl space to lift the floors above to their original position. This process is done by assembling the components and tightening the SmartJack system into place. The support beam and floor joists are immediately stabilized and lifted to their original position. This system is not to replace the existing columns, but to add strength and stability to what is there. 

A Homeowner had recently purchased this Wyckoff, NJ home and was looking for a solution for the bowing and cracked foundation walls in the basement. The block foundation had a hairline horizontal crack that stretch across almost the entire wall. The wall began bowing inward from the hydrostatic pressure from the ground outside. Our Senior Design Specialist, Ken Peare, eight PowerBraces for permanent stabilization of the foundation.
