Waterproofing, Crawl Space & Foundation Authority in Belle Mead

This property owner living in Belle Mead, NJ reached out after incessantly struggling with structural deterioration and indications of concrete settlement located near their properties entrance walkway. The owner was stressing due to nonstop concerns of possibly fatal walking conditions for visitors and residents. They decided a permanent solution was crucial, and after interacting with our system design specialist Jeffrey, who demonstrated his extensive knowledge by conducting a thorough examination of the area, this owner knew that they were in good hands. Following this our foreman Ramon and his crew reached the home and began installing our specially patented PolyLevel Foam Injections beneath the uneven slabs, to essentially restore and return them to their designated surface level. The crew not only lifted the sunken concrete but with the power of PolyLevel, we have ultimately strengthened and fortified this surface by filling in any voids created underneath from poorly compressed fill soil. With PolyLevel installed concrete settlement will be a structural conflict of the past, now this property owner can rest soundly at night knowing their home is fully safeguarded for many years to come!  

This homeowner in Belle Mead, New Jersey noticed their concrete driveway was sinking and settling. This can happen from soil erosion under the slab. As water runs down through the cracks and joints in the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through. These voids cause the concrete to shift and settle. If this goes without repair, this tripping hazard could cause major injuries.

The homeowner searched online for solutions and saw that Quality 1st Basement Systems was providing free thorough inspections. They gave us a call and our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Greg Louis. Greg provided a thorough inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete.

A few days later, our foreman arrived at the home and began the process of using our PolyLevel Injections. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. This allows the concrete to expand and will bring the slab to a raised position. 

When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the results. They were able to safely walk on their driveway without the concern of injuring themselves! 

A Harlingen, NJ homeowner noticed their basement walls were bowing inward. Before the situation could get worse, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution fast, so they Googled basement wall repairs and found Quality 1st Basement Systems. After reading some customer reviews and their 'Foundation Problems' page, the homeowner knew that Quality 1st Basement Systems would be able to find a solution. 

Shortly after giving them a call, an appointment was set with our System Design Specialist, Steve V., to come and inspect the homeowner's basement. Steve arrived at the home, on time, and greeted the homeowner - he then proceeded to inspect the basement walls.

After fully inspecting the basement walls, Steve concluded that there was an issue with the home's foundation. He explained to the homeowner that over time, the soil supporting the home changes, becoming very soft or very dry. This leads to the soil weakening and affecting the home's foundation - resulting in the basement walls bowing inwards. Steve then recommended our Steel Push Piers by Supportworks would solve the problem by permanently stabilizing the foundation. After hearing this, the homeowner scheduled another appointment for our crew to come and repair the foundation.

Our Senior Foreman, Jonathan, and his crew arrived at the home, on time, and began to fix the home's foundation. First, they removed the soil around the foundation's footing and placed a specially engineered bracket - steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket to bedrock. After, our crew then transferred the weight of the home through the steel bracket and onto the new bedrock and lifted the home back to its original position. Soil is then backfilled to hide the entire system, and the foundation repair is fully complete. 

The homeowner did not have any other issues and their home was back to normal. They were completely thrilled to have called Quality 1st Basement Systems
