Challenge

Richard S. was looking to buy a new home. Trying to find the perfect house is a time-consuming stressful project. After plenty of searching he found his dream house in the neighborhood he wanted. It had everything he wanted, however there was a big problem holding him back. The garage foundation was sinking. Richard had a structural engineer evaluate the property and they stated that the cinderblock foundation had moved up to an inch outward and needed immediate repair. There were several hairline cracks running across the foundation wall that signified the problem was getting worse. Determined to have the issue fixed and purchase his dream home in Wayne, NJ Richard called Quality 1st Basement Systems.

Solution

Foundation inspector Andre Cabral visited the property and found cracks in the home's foundation as well as on the garage. There were obvious signs of foundation settlement inside the garage that were startling and unsafe. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed the Foundation Supportworks patented push piers to fix this house's foundation. The push piers permanently stabilize sinking foundations and help bring the house back on level.

This was the best solution for Richard and the property because push piers provide the necessary stabilization of the foundation once they reach a stable soil. Push piers come with a 25-year warranty for peace of mind, so Richard can close on the sale and move in with decades to spend worry-free. After installation, Richard was happy with a job well done. He closed on the real estate transaction and moved into his dream house with his family.
