When your basement is fully finished, basement waterproofing is not something you want to be thinking about.

After noticing water coming up through the basement floor, this Palisades Park, NJ homeowner was concerned. She already had a sump pump and a French drain, but they were clearly not keeping the basement dry! Since the basement was finished the homeowner wanted to protect it from flooding, so she called Quality 1st Basement Systems to ask some questions.
Basement specialist Kenny Tramutola had some answers! He recommended a WaterGuard internal basement drain to keep it dry. The homeowner loved that the basement drain was installed inside of the home to prevent it from clogging up with dirt and debris. Quality 1st Basement Systems went to work. The crew installed an internal basement drain to carry out any moisture to a sump pump, where it will safely exit the home. After installation, Quality 1st Basement Systems covered up the drain with a layer of concrete to prevent it from being an open eye sore. Now the homeowner no longer has to check the weather and prepare for rains. Her basement is safe and dry!
Barbara B. needed a basement waterproofing system that was proven to work. Her old sump pump was not keeping the basement dry, and water sometimes seeped in through the cinderblock foundation. Quality 1st Basement Systems had the solution! An internal basement drain and a new sump pump would transform this basement from damp to dry.
Quality 1st Basement Systems installed an internal WaterGuard basement drain to collect any moisture that comes into the basement. The water is then transferred to the newly installed sump pump and drained out of the house. Since the WaterGuard basement drain is installed internally, it is free from the dangers of clogging. Tree roots, mud, dirt can all clog up drains and prevent them from working functionally. But with the system installed by Quality 1st Basement Systems, water will move freely out of the basement and this home will stay dry. Barbara B. is glad to have a waterproofing system that works! She is happy with her products and recommends Quality 1st Basement Systems to all of her friends with wet basements.

Justin M. wanted to waterproof his basement. He searched around and received estimates from other companies to see who would do the best work for a reasonable price. Quality 1st Basement Systems was one of the companies Justin contacted during his comparison shopping. Waterproofing Specialist Kenneth Peare visited Justin, inspected his basement, and provided him with an ideal plan for resolving his basement issues.
The installation crew, headed by Project Manager Victor Leon, set out to fix Justin’s basement. They installed a combination of products designed and engineered to work together for a complete system of smooth and efficient waterproofing. Included in the design were WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a Flood Ring, IceGuard, and LawnScape Outlet. Any water intrusion would be directed away from walls through the WaterGuard system and toward the TripleSafe sump pump. The pump would then direct the water out of the home through the discharge lines and disperse it away from the home through an underground extension, the LawnScape Outlet. The IceGuard would provide added protection in winter months to prevent the discharge line from freezing. The Flood Ring would also provide added protection to the basement by being installed around Justin’s water heater to drain any leakage to the WaterGuard conduit.
Using the Quality 1st coupon found online for the promotion at the time and taking advantage of the financing options available, Justin M. made the well-informed decision to work with Quality 1st Basement Systems. He certainly found the best work for a reasonable price and could thereafter have peace of mind from basement water problems!
The chief of Hoboken’s fire departments knew what he wanted. He wanted a dehumidifier. He also knew what he didn’t want. He didn’t want to lose thousands of dollars of firefighters’ equipment that was stored in the damp fire station basement where high humidity levels allow mold to grow. Quality 1st Basement System’s waterproofing specialist, Jeff Nero, visited the chief to inspect the area and discuss the results possible with the SaniDry XP, a high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system.
The ultra-efficient SaniDry XP removes the moisture from the air and blows out a dry air into the space. This system helps keep the humidity levels below 50%, reducing the chance for mold to grow. It also has a two-stage filter system to clean the air of allergens. The SaniDry XP seemed to be exactly what was needed in the fire station. As a matter of fact, the chief determined that another one of the city’s fire stations could benefit from the XP as well.
Santiago Brazero, Project Manager, headed the delivery and installation to begin the process of mastering the humidity for the two fire stations, ensuring that the chief wouldn’t have to worry about the city’s firefighters having moldy gear!
Anthony from Teaneck, NJ was having continuous problems with water getting into the basement. Unsure of where to turn next, he searched the internet. There he found that he could have Quality 1st Basement Systems (a company with expertise in waterproofing) send a specialist out to inspect his basement, answer his questions, suggest a solution, and provide a free written estimate by the end of the appointment. Anthony called to schedule a time.
One of Quality 1st’s waterproofing specialists met with Anthony to design a system tailored to meet his basement waterproofing needs. He proposed installation of a full-perimeter WaterGuard system, both an UltraSump and SuperSump sump pump, an IceGuard, a LawnScape Outlet, and ½ wall CleanSpace. The project manager mobilized his crew to install the CleanSpace that would help deter water vapor from coming through the walls while it also drains seepage into the WaterGuard. Water in the WaterGuard is directed to the sump pumps for discharge and is also prevented from causing a flood in winter months (if the discharge line freezes) by inclusion of an IceGuard. Lastly, the LawnScape Outlet is installed to allow discharge water to be discreetly dispersed on the lawn away from the house.
Anthony was happy with the smooth and efficient system installed and was surely happy that Quality 1st Basement Systems helped him put an end to worries about water in his basement!
During every rainstorm, a homeowner in Fairview, NJ worried about her basement. Water came in through the cinderblock walls and leaked onto the floor. The homeowner wanted the basement to be completely dry, all of the time so she called Quality 1st Basement Systems to learn about basement waterproofing products.
The crew installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the basement. What differentiates the TripleSafe sump pump from other sump pumps on the market is its power. It has three pumps to keep the basement safe during any rainstorm. Even if the electricity goes out, the basement will stay safe. The TripleSafe sump pump has a battery back-up which turns on and keeps the sump pump running even without electricity.
After Hurricane Irene, this Hillsdale, NJ basement flooded completely. The water was high and the homeowner was stressed about it happening again. He needed a sump pump that could keep up with any amount of water in preparation for future storms. The sump pump already in place was very old and and the drainage system was not efficient.
Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe sump pump to keep this home safe. The TripleSafe sump pump is a powerful system. It has an alarm system, a battery back-up, and three strong cast iron-pumps. The first pump can discharge 2,200 gallons of water per hour. The second pump can take out and additional 3,900 gallons. If the power goes out in a storm, the battery back-up will turn on and remove more than 11,500 gallons on a full charge. With that level of power, this basement is much safer.
Joseph had a damp basement. He already had sump pumps to take care of the water intrusion; however, the water just seemed to keep coming. He figured there had to be a better solution, like interior wall drains. He searched the internet and found Quality 1st Basement Systems.
After contacting Quality 1st Basement Systems, waterproofing specialist Kenny Tramutola visited the home to complete an inspection of the basement. Low on the walls, he noticed efflorescence (white residue from minerals that dissolve in water) and even some areas of wet floor. Kenny provided Joseph with a plan, and a free estimate for sub-floor wall drains. The full-perimeter WaterGuard (designed with a wall flange that creates space to channel and direct incoming water seepage from the walls) is a patented system that will never clog from silt or sediment. Additionally, Joseph needed a TrenchLock trench drain (which spans doorways to collect water from outside and connects to the WaterGuard). Lastly, Kenny suggested that Joseph might want to clean up the walls. Joseph settled on ½ wall CleanSpace, which is a heavy plastic liner that helps prevent water vapor from entering and also helps direct any seepage to the WaterGuard.
Joseph was quite pleased that he got the best in interior wall drains through Quality 1st Basement Systems, and Quality 1st Basement Systems was glad to help create a more secure, drier basement for Joseph.
Usable basement space is a great asset to homeowners. John T. in Garfield, NJ knew that protecting this space from water damage was paramount. He contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to obtain a free estimate from a waterproofing specialist.
Quality 1st Basement Systems met John’s needs by installing an UltraSump Sump Pump to handle any water that would intrude in John’s basement. This powerful pump designed for long-term performance is supplemented with a battery back-up pump in the event that it fails for any reason (such as a power outage or tripped circuit breaker).
A little further down the road, John felt that he needed more, to be reassured that his basement space wouldn’t suffer from water intrusion in the living space. He once again contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, had a waterproofing specialist visit his home to complete an inspection and to provide an updated plan and estimate. This time John decided would get the additional protection to put his mind at ease, so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard System along the basement perimeter. To transition across a stairway and to catch any water leakage that may come from outside, a trench drain (connected to the WaterGuard) was also put in place. Lastly, BrightWall Panels were installed to direct any leakage on the walls to the WaterGuard and to make the area brighter.
Quality 1st Basement Systems was happy to alleviate this homeowner’s concerns about water potentially damaging the livable basement are. Now he can relax and enjoy his basement space!
Homeowners Mr. and Mrs. C. from Bergenfield, NJ were noticing water seeping into their basement when there were heavy rains. With the increase in wetness, they knew that their existing sump pump wasn’t doing its job. They called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a no-obligation, free estimate by a waterproofing specialist.
The homeowners discussed their goals during the visit and the specialist came up with a plan. The installation crew would install WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system in the laundry room and attach it to the existing sump pump. Additionally, an IceGuard would be installed to prevent the flooding if the discharge line freezes during colder months. Installation of the SaniDry high-performance dehumidification and air filtration system would keep humidity below 50%, reducing the chance for mold to grow. It would also cleanse the air of allergens with its two-stage filter system. Additionally, this self-draining system would have no catch-basins that needed to be emptied!
This combination of products seemed to be exactly what the homeowners wanted to resolve their basement wetness issues. Quality 1st Basement Systems was happy to accommodate these customers’ needs!
Homeowner John B. from Paramus, NJ was concerned about his cinder block foundation. He noticed cracks on both the exterior and interior. Some of the floors on the main level were sagging, too. He called Quality 1st Basement Systems to have a foundation specialist visit his home to inspect the areas of concern and provide him with a free estimate for repairs.
Foundation specialist Dan McNally completed a thorough inspection of the basement as well as the main floor. The cracks and sagging floor were an indication of a sinking and settling foundation. Dan proposed the installation of the SmartJack Support System, which includes corrosion-resistant galvanized steel adjustable support columns that can support over 60,000 lbs. SmartJacks provide immediate and permanent stabilization. They can also restore stability and level sloping and sagging floors.
John B. had no more worries after the installation and Quality 1st Basement Systems was happy to provide this long-term solution. The SmartJacks restored stability to the home and the sloping and sagging floors would be restored to their original position as well.

This New Milford homeowner lives by a river and with the water tables rising, his crawl space had flooded several times. He knew that since the river wasn't going anywhere that this problem would only continue if he didn't find a solution. After doing some research he knew that a French drain and sump pump would be the necessary products to help him come to a permanent solution and so he went on Angie's List and found Quality 1st Basement Systems.
Quality 1st sent a design specialist to New Milford and gave the home owner a free estimate on his crawl space. He decided that CleanSpace, a liner that protects the crawl space against water, mold, rotting, animals and unwanted air out, would be the best thing to keep the homeowners crawl space dry. The design specialist also proposed TerraBlock which is an energy saving, moisture protection, insulation that will control the air temperature in that space all year round. Since he noticed that the crawl space was sagging, he also recommended SmartJacks to stabilize it.

Lisa S., a homeowner from New Milford, NJ, wanted an experienced waterproofing company to provide her with an estimate to install a sump pump system to keep her basement protected from flooding. Waterproofing specialist Ken Peare visited the home to complete a thorough interior and exterior inspection and provide a free estimate of the best solution to meet her needs.
After addressing the homeowner’s concerns, Ken proposed the installation of a Triple Safe Sump Pump System. It includes an efficient primary pump, a back-up pump (in case the first one fails or if there is a need for extra pumping power), and a third battery-operated pump (designed to kick in if the power goes out). A WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system would be installed to channel any incoming water seepage toward the TripleSafe to be pumped out of the basement. For added protection, Ken proposed that IceGuards be installed on the discharge drains, too, in the event that the lines freeze during the colder months. Lastly, the pumped out water would be discharged away from the home and left to be dispersed on the lawn by means of a LawnScape outlet, a camouflaged extension at the end of the buried discharge pipe.
Lisa found that the solution was just what she needed to keep her basement dry.
Megan's parent's home is located in Bogota, New Jersey. She contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems when her father brought humidity and water concerns in the crawl space to her attention. Megan called right away to get a free estimate after she heard an ad on the radio.
System Design Specialist Thomas Nehme met with Megan and her parents to inspect the crawl space and answer any questions they had. Thomas recommended that Megan's parents should not only waterproof the crawl space but install a dehumidifier to help circulate dry air throughout the space. Since they were using the crawl space for storage, Thomas also recommended CleanSpace which is a durable liner that keeps water, moisture, and dirt out.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a white, durable liner that is installed on the floors and walls of the crawl space. This vapor barrier system will protect against wood rot, mold and humidity, making it the perfect solution for any crawl space, especially one that stores precious items. Quality 1st also sealed off all windows to further prevent the humidity, moisture and cold air from entering inside. Lastly, a SaniDry Dehumidifier was placed inside to ensure proper circulation of dry air.
Megan's was so relieved to know that her parent's no longer have to worry about water problems in their crawl space allowing them to enjoy retirement!
Quality 1st helped Jeff from Saddle River completely finish his basement just in time for the holiday season.
At the beginning of the year, Jeff and his wife were going back and forth on deciding exactly how they wanted to finish their basement. They had experienced water in the past, but in the last few years, it had been dry. Knowing that finishing a basement becomes an investment to the home, Jeff decided he wanted to make sure any finishing products that were installed were mold, water, and moisture-proof. He contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and set up an appointment.

Mary's Alpine home is located close to a large lake. When it rains, the lake rises causing a significant amount of water to flow onto her property and into her basement. At first, the water would just seep in through the walls but over time, more water would find its way inside, completely flooding her basement with a few feet of water.
Quality 1st was able to send System Design Specialist, Thomas Nehme to the home to inspect the entire perimeter to find the source of her water problem and design a permanent solution.
Thomas recommended WaterGuard and a TripleSafe Sump Pump to keep the basement dry. WaterGuard is installed below the floor slab keeping the drainage system out of the mud zone to prevent clogging. The WaterGuard directs the water down to the TripleSafe Sump Pump which then pumps it up and out of the basement and away from the home. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has a back up battery that will continue to pump out water in case of a power outage. This sump pump is the best pump for a basement that has gotten multiple feet of water.

This Spring has been a very rainy season and many homeowners are experiencing water in their basements. When it rains the soil becomes soft and starts to push against the foundation of the home. All that pressure weakens the foundation creating cracks. Water then finds those cracks and seeps through inside the basement. This is exactly what happened to a basement in Park Ridge after three straight days of heavy rain.
The homeowner received so much water that it began coming in through the walls of his basement. Luckily, they remembered their neighbor mentioning Quality 1st Basement Systems a few months back when they had similar water issues.Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to get System Design Specialist, Jeff Nero, out within a few short days to inspect the basement. Upon inspection, Jeff noticed several small cracks where the water had entered and recommended a system that would provide them with a permanent solution.
Project Manager, Juan Garcia and his crew installed WaterGuard, a french drain, that would collect any water seeping through and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is a large sump pump that can pump as much as 6,000 gallons of water an hour. This pump is the perfect size for a basement as big as this one in Park Ridge. Once the WaterGuard and TripleSafe were installed, the crew installed ThermalDry ELITE Plank Flooring. This type of flooring looks like luxurious wood but is actually inorganic and water resistant so it will never grow mold, rot or buckle. This type of flooring is great for a basement because unlike other flooring, this flooring can keep the floor up to 10 degrees warmer since it gives a thermal break from the concrete concrete. Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to turn this damp, cold basement into a dry and warm space for the homeowner and his family to enjoy again.
A Homeowner in Teaneck, had water seeping down into the basement after heavy rainfall. The basement would collect large puddles and leave an unpleasant musty odor. This left the family with an uncomfortable environment. Since his cousin had a very good experience with Quality 1st Basement Systems, he referred him to the company for a free estimate.
System Design Specialist, Jeff Nero, inspected the basement thoroughly and recommended to have a TripleSafe Sump Pump with a Water Guard and a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a water pump that provides a reliable and efficient way to waterproof your basement no matter how much water seeps in. The Sump Pump also includes its own DC- operated pump, a second automatic-switching system, a smart charging system and a specially designed battery. The SaniDry XP Basement Air System is a reliable, low maintenance dehumidifier system that will take ten times the amount water of the air as a typical dehumidifier, yet it uses the same energy. This entire system will keep the basement clean and dry, providing the homeowner with a healthy basement and over all a healthy living
Quality 1st Basements received a phone call from a homeowner who was experiencing cold floors on the first level of their home and noticed their pipes that were located in their crawl space were starting to freeze. The homeowner knew that his crawl space had a concrete floor which was not helping the cold draft underneath his home.
Quality 1st sent System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, out to inspect the crawl space and recommended the best solution. Upon inspection, Laszlo noticed the crawl space vents were allowing the cold air to linger inside. He explained to the homeowner that because of the cold environment now in the crawl space, it was causing the cold floors, the pipes to freeze and his heating bills to rise. With his furnace in such a cold climate, it was working extra hard to warm the home.
With the help of Laszlo, the crew sealed and insulated the crawl space to make the home more comfortable for the homeowner and help lower his monthly heating bill. The crew installed Crawl Space Vent Covers on all three vents to seal the crawl space and prevent further drafts. Next SilverGlo Wall Insulation is installed which is a heat barrier, it will reflect heat back into the crawl space.
The Fort Lee homeowner was 100% satisfied with the work done by Quality 1st and appreciated how professional each member of the Q1 crew was.
Cliff J. was experiencing small puddles of water everytime it poured. The standing water caused the basement to feel cold, damp and a musty odor started to form. Cliff knew his goal was to eventually finish the basement but now that he was experiencing water, he needed to put that job on hold.
Doing some research, Cliff came across his Bergen County Service page on the Quality 1st Basements website. He began looking through reviews, before and after pictures as well as Photo Galleries. When he discovered that Quality 1st also specializes in Total Basement Finishing, he decided to call for a free estimate.
System Design Specialist, Thomas, went out to inspect the basement and offer his best recommendation for a solution. He recommended a TripleSafe Sump Pump, for it would be the perfect size pump to handle the size of Cliffs large basement. To direct the water to the TripleSafe, the crew would install WaterGuard drainage system. He also recommended a SaniDry Dehumidifier to circulate dry air to create a more comfortable environment and prevent any moisture or musty smells.
Cliff agreed with Thomas' recommendations and agreed to a Full Waterproofing System. Cliff felt that Thomas was very informative and his presentation educated him enough to realize that delaying this project could create serious damage down the road and he felt comfortable and in good hands with Quality 1st Basements.
Jamie K.noticed her sidewalks had begun to sink and settle causing tripping hazards in front of her home. With the uneven sidewalks, it became an eyesore and so she wanted to find a solution that would remove the tripping hazards but not cause any disturbance to the front of her home. An existing customer of Quality 1st happened to be neighbors with Jamie and recommended she call for a free concrete lifting estimate.
Jamie was blown away by the presentation the Concrete Repair Specialist, Andy Gagliardi gave. Her fear was that the sidewalk area would have to be replaced and would no longer match the rest of the sidewalk area. PolyLevel would lift and level the existing slabs, causing no disruption to the surrounding area and within 15 minutes of completion, she could use her sidewalk.
Jamie was amazed at the installation processes and extremely satisfied with the results. The tripping hazard was removed and her sidewalk was now stabilized.
A homeowner living in Garfield, NJ had a serious amount of water after a terrible rain storm. The basement of their new home had flooded causing a serious amount of damage to the personal belongings that were kept down in the unfinished basement. After reading some of Quality 1st Basements reviews on Google, they decided to call for a free estimate. System Design Specialist, Mike D, did a full inspection of the home and noticed the water was seeping through the walls towards the bottom of the floors.

The crew installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe Sump pump to protect the basement against leaks and floods.
Homeowners in Matawan, NJ were experiencing cracks on the inside of the garage and the exterior walls which was causing the foundation to shift. Foundation shifting and settling is caused by the soil either shrinking, softening, or loosening below the home's foundation. The soil in the foundation was so weak that it was not able to support the foundation of the house, therefore, shifting the house and causing cracks in the walls. Fixing the foundation was a priority, as it would cause larger damage if not attended to, causing the resale value of the home to drop. The Homeowner decided to give Quality 1st a call for a FREE evaluation of the foundation issue.
The Quality 1st Basements crew went to work as soon as they arrived. Knowing the foundation was in bad condition, they decided to install 9 Push Piers underneath the foundation after excavating 5 feet underneath the soil & clay. Push Piers are driven deep into the soil to ensure stability. A heavy-duty steel bracket is installed below and against the foundation’s footing, and then steel pier sections are hydraulically pushed through the bracket to the bedrock. This is the best foundation repair option available when soil conditions are unknown, providing a permanent solution for your settlement issues. This option was fast and effective, leaving the homeowner worry free from and future foundation settlement.
A homeowner in Edgewater, New Jersey had a sinking and settling concrete walkway in front of their home and contacted Quality 1st for a free estimate. Quality 1st used PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam to lift the concrete back to its original position. The foam is injected into the concrete through penny-size holes and begins working within minutes. PolyLevel is a fast and permanent solution to lifting and leveling concrete.
A homeowner in Edgewater, New Jersey noticed some cracks in their foundation and contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the foundation and noticed signs of settlement. Helical Piers were installed outside the home to stabilize the foundation. The plates attached to the piers help pull the pier into the soil and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. Helical Piers are installed fast and help lift foundations back to the original level.
A crawl space in Edgewater, New Jersey was damp and needed to be encapsulated. Our System Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and recommended a full encapsulation system be installed to eliminate the dampness and keep moisture out. This crawl space can be used by the homeowners for whatever they need it for.
A homeowner in Hillsdale, New Jersey had water coming in through their basements walls and contacted Quality 1st for a free estimate. Our System Design specialist inspected the basement and recommended the basement be waterproofed. WaterGuard was installed in the basement underneath the floor slab, on top of the foundation footing to make sure the system was out of the mud zone. A sump pump was also installed to pump the water out of the basement. TripleSafe sump pump has three levels of pumps built in to ensure the basement stays dry. CleanSpace walling was also installed on the walls to prevent any water coming in and direct it to the sump pump. This basement is waterproofed and can be used by the homeowners.
A homeowner in Little Ferry, New Jersey contacted Quality 1st about repairing their crawl space. Our System Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and had matting installed on the crawl space floor for insulation and to make sure water does not sit on the crawl space floor. CleanSpace was also installed on the crawl space floors and walls to ensure no water or moisture enters the crawl space. CleanSpace seals off the crawl space and gives the crawl space a brighter and updated look. The liner will also not tear so it is perfect for storage.

Jake from Annandale, NJ had multiple signs that his foundation was settling. He noticed wall cracks in the exterior brick and changes in the way the doors and windows of his home opened and closed. Down in his basement his foundation walls had stair-step cracks with one specific wall starting to bow inward. Looking for a local Foundation Specialist to save his investment and give him peace of mind again, he contacted Quality 1st Basements. Senior Design Specialist, Ken Peare went out to meet with Jake, run a full inspection of his foundation and design the best solution possible for what he was experiencing.
Most homeowners don't know too much about foundation settlement and so it's important to us that we educate each homeowner with enough information to understand why they have this issue and why we recommend our solution. Ken explained to Jake that when a house is built compacted soil is then back filled around the foundation to fill the hole. That compacted soil is not as strong as the virgin soil that was once there. Over time that soil can no longer hold the weight of the home causing the home to shift and settle. In the process, cracks form, doors stick, walls bow and your foundation is now compromised.
Ken Recommended Push Piers for they stabilize the home's foundation. This solution can also lift the home back towards its original level, closing cracks and improving the operations of the doors and windows. The soil is removed from around the foundations footing, where the pier will be installed. Each Push Pier is hydraulically driven into stable soil. The weight of the home is transferred from the concrete foundation, through the steel bracket and piers, to the deep load- bearing soil. Next the team will attempt to lift the home back towards its original position. Once completed and foundation is stabilized the soil is back filled, the entire system is hidden in the ground and your home is in its new position.
With the help of Ken Peare and Quality 1st Basements, we were able to give Jake peace of mind that his family is now safe in their home and he has peace of mind that his biggest investment, his home is now stabilized!
Quality 1st Basements received a call from a homeowner living in the Closter area of New Jersey. Customer Service Representative, Christine, was the one available to answer the call. Sam, the homeowner was experiencing four sinking slabs in his driveway. For a while he ignored the problem but with his daughter learned how to ride her bike, he wants the driveway to be leveled so her tire wouldn't get caught on the big gaps and tripping hazards the sinking slabs had caused. Her safety was very important to him and Christine understood that completely. She was able to get Sam the soonest available appointment with Concrete Repair Specialist, Tom Carrano.
Tom met with Sam, did a full inspection of the driveway and then sat down with him and his wife to discuss a solution. Tom explained that before offering a solution, its important to understand why the concrete settles in the first place. That way they could understand why other methods they contemplated wouldn't be the best solution for their situation. The soil underneath the slab became unstable over time from either being too wet, too dry or poorly compacted. It was important to understand that its not the slab that is the issue but the soil below the slab. Tom recommended our PolyLevel System because it is made up of high- density, lightweight, structural- grade polymers that fills that void and raises the existing slab.
Not only were the slabs lifted with PolyLevel foam, but just 15 minutes after the installation was complete, Sam's daughter could practice on her bike in the driveway. Sam and his wife were amazed and the clean and easy installation process and how it caused no disturbance to the surrounding areas of their home!
Quality 1st Basements was able to help a family in need of structural support when it came to their sinking front stoop. Over the years the stoop gradually began to settle and pull away from the foundation of the home. Quality 1st sent Senior Design Specialist, Ken Peare, out to do a full inspection and design a solution. He noticed serious settlement underneath the stoop. He explained that settlement is cause by usually one of three things: the soil below the stoop was either poorly compacted, too wet or too dry. Over time the soil could no longer hold that much weight causing the stoop to sink.
Ken recommended Helical Piers be installed underneath the stoop to lift and stabilize. A Helical Pier is an ideal solution for permanently stabilizing regardless of the weight and structure. First, soil is removed from the area around the stoop where each Helical Pier will be installed. Using specialized hydraulic equipment, the first pier section is screwed into the ground. Additional steel sections are then added to extend the pier to the appropriate depths and capacities, and a steel foundation bracket is connected to the helical piers and attached to the foundation's footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the Helical Piers onto the competent load-bearing soils deep below the surface. Once the stoop was lifted, the Piers are covered to be hidden from view.
The stoop was not only lifted but stabilized to prevent future movement. The family was given peace of mind that they no longer had to worry about their stoop, and that the value in the home didn't decrease due to this settlement.
Quality 1st Basements was referred to an Alpine, NJ homeowner named Jane who was experiencing sinking concrete. Jane's sidewalk across the entire front of her home was sinking creating multiple tripping hazards. For years the sidewalk had been an issue but she did not want to pay for the concrete to be ripped up and repoured. One day when she and her neighborhood were discussing the upcoming neighborhood yard sale, the sidewalk became a topic of conversation. Of course, it was a concern that someone could get seriously injured if a spill were to occurs due to the tripping hazards. That's when Jane's neighbor recommended Quality 1st Basements.
Jane called right away for a free estimate, to get her tripping hazards removed. Our PolyLevel team arrived on time and did a full walkthrough to make sure the area was cleaned and ready for the installation. Small holes were drilled into each sinking slab and PolyLevel foam was injected underneath filling the void. The sidewalk was raised and now even. The tripping hazards were removed and Jane was able to set up her yard sale the following day.
Quality 1st Basements helps homeowner everyday keep their property safe by raising any concrete slabs that cause dangerous tripping hazards. When a homeowner in Bogota, NJ noticed sinking slabs around their pool deck area, they contacted us right away for a free estimate. Each of our Concrete Repair Specialists are highly trained professionals able to assist with any type of sinking concrete you may be experiencing and so we sent Andy Gagliadri, out to inspect the pool deck and offer the perfect solution.
Upon inspection, Andy noticed multiple sinking slabs with as much as 3 inches of settlement. He recommended raising instead of lifting the concrete slabs. He explained that when a slab sinks its due to the soil underneath the slab not the actual slab itself. Replacing the slab will only cause the new one to sink in the future but if you fill the void underneath the slab then it would raise and remove the tripping hazard.
Quality 1st injected PolyLevel foam underneath the sinking slab using special equipment. Once underneath the foam expands until the void it filled. Once filled completely the foam hardens raising the slab back to its desired level.
Quality 1st received a call from Jon, a homeowner living in East Rutherford who had concrete issues in his backyard. He stated that his patio area that was once completely leveled had settled over the years and now his outside furniture can't even rest on top of the patio area. He decided to call for an estimate to see if something could be done to raise the patio because he wanted to avoid replacing it at all cost.
We sent Concrete Repair Specialist, Jeff out to inspect the patio and provide Jon with a permanent solution. Jeff noticed some of the slabs had settled 3 to 4 inches in some corners causing gaps about an inch wide in other areas. When concrete settles its due to one of three things, either the soil is too wet, too dry or poorly compacted. The slab becomes too heavy for the soil causing settlement and creates a void between the slab and soil. Injecting PolyLevel underneath the slab, fills the void, raises the slab and stabilizes the patio to prevent future settlement.
a family living in Ho Ho Kus, NJ contacted Quality 1st hoping we could provide them with a solution to their settling driveway. Over the years their once slightly settled driveway was not completely settled and therefore uneven. Not only did it create an eyesore in front of their home but made it difficult for their children to ride their bikes in the driveway. They knew that if these slabs were fixed, an accident would soon occur.
We sent Concrete Repair Specialist, Andy Gagliardi out to inspect the driveway and offer a permanent solution. Andy explained that it isn't the concrete slabs causing the issue but the soil underneath their driveway. Over time when soil becomes too wet or too dry, it becomes weak where it can no longer hold the heavy slab, therefore, causing settlement. Replacing the driveway would only temporarily solve the problem for the slabs would eventually sink again. PolyLevel when underneath the slab, would raise and stabilize it to prevent it from sinking.
We inject PolyLevel foam below the slab to fill the void in between the concrete and the soil. When the void is filled the PolyLevel foam begins to harden, raising the slab back to its original state, removing the trip hazards.
Quality 1st Basements received a call from a homeowner who was experiencing sinking concrete. After doing some research on Angie's List, they decided to contact Quality 1st for a free estimate. We sent Concrete Repair Specialist, Andy out to inspect the sinking area and design a solution to the settlement.
Andy measured roughly 3 inches of settlement from where the floor original was to now. Andy explained to the homeowner and his wife that the issue isn't the garage floor but the soil underneath causing the settlement. By injecting PolyLevel below the slab to fill the void underneath, the slab would be raised back to level and stabilized to prevent future sinking. Not only was the homeowner amazed at how professional our crew was with the installation and clean up but also impressed how quick and clean the installation process was. They were relieved their garage floor was now stable and that they no longer had to worry about future damage caused by their once uneven driveway floor.
Quality 1st Basements raised a concrete driveway back towards it's original level, permanently stabilizing it to prevent future sinking and settling.
A Burlington, NJ homeowner had a concrete driveway that had settled causing trip hazards in multiple spots of the driveway. With the concrete being uneven, water would pool trapping the water in the driveway. The homeowner wanted to remove the trip hazards and raise the driveway back to level to allow water to flow straight into the grass.
Concrete Repair Specialist, Andy, explained that the soil beneath the slab was not strong enough to support the weight of the driveway causing it to sink. He recommended our team inject PolyLevel foam underneath to raise the concrete slab, and provide additional support to the concrete. PolyLevel is waterproof and environmentally friendly! It is a quick and clean installation and allows you to walk on the slab instantly once raised.
Our team came in drilled small penny-size holes into the concrete slabs. Using special equipment, PolyLevel is injected underneath the sinking slab. The foam expands, filling all the voids and raising the slab. Once the slab is at it's desired level, our team stops injecting and allows a few minutes for the PolyLevel foam to harden. Now the slabs are permanently raised and stabilized.

A resident in Teterboro, NJ had recently moved into his new home. After fully moving in, the resident noticed that his allergies started acting up. Since it was the fall season, the resident thought it was just his normal allergies. After a few days of living in his home, the resident's allergies started to become worse. The resident then started to inspect the home, to see if there was a problem. The house was completely fine until the resident remembered that the crawlspace has never been repaired before. He went into his crawlspace and that's when he saw the cause of his severe allergies. The entire crawlspace was covered in mold. He knew that he needed to get this problem solved, so he asked his neighbors who he could call to revolve this issue. The neighbors highly recommended Quality 1st Basement Systems, so the resident called and made an appointment for our crew to come out and repair the crawlspace.
Our crew, along with our basement specialist, came to the house and cleaned the crawlspace. To stop the mold from growing, the crawlspace needed to have a cool temperature. Luckily, our sump pump is the solution to that problem. They installed the sump pump, by digging a hole, about twenty-two inches deep, and installing the sump pump into that hole. They then installed the sump liner to keep any mud out and making the area clean for the pump. When the sump pump is fully installed, the crawlspace air is able to be filtered and circulated properly, preventing mold growth. After the full installation, the crawlspace has been fully cleaned out.
Since his crawlspace has been cleaned out, the resident is able to breathe freely in his home, and not worry about his allergies acting up. He has been fully satisfied with the services.

After searching for possible solutions on the Internet, the homeowner found Quality 1st Basement Systems and thought they would be a great fit. After speaking with our customer service representative, the homeowner scheduled an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Mike Fiorillo.
Mike arrived at the home, on time, and fully inspected the basement. He then found small cracks in the basement walls, causing water to seep through and realizing this was a foundation issue. When soil becomes soft, it expands and pushes up against the home's foundation causing it to crack.
After the inspection, Mike presented his findings to the homeowner and suggested the best solution would be the waterproof the basement by installing our WaterGuard French Drain System and Classic Sump Pump. With both products installed water seeping into the basement will be pumped away from the basement, allowing the area to be fully dry and secure.

A homeowner in Saddle River, New Jersey noticed their concrete patio was sinking. This can happen because concrete is often poured over backfilled, and loose soil. This loose soil settles and creates a void underneath the concrete slab. Another common issue with concrete sinking is the erosion of soil under the slab. As water runs down through the cracks and joints of the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through. These voids cause concrete to shift and settle, creating uneven surfaces and dangerous tripping hazards.

Due to unavoidable factors like poorly filled soil, slab expansion due to continuous temperature changes, surface deterioration, as well as dry-out, or even too much moisture, concrete can begin to sink or become uneven.
For instance, this Maywood homeowner reached out with concerns that their sidewalk was becoming an eyesore and more importantly a tripping hazard. Without any hesitation he knew who to contact, our highly qualified team of professionals here at Quality 1st.
Next, our brilliant system design specialist arrived on the scene to fully evaluate the necessary steps and products required for the job.
Our gifted team of foremen showed up shortly after and began tackling the task starting with a full PolyLevel injection and NexusPro installation. This was indeed the wisest and most efficient solution for this owner's situation.
Instead of using the traditional methods such as mud jacking which can take up to three days to fully dry, or a total concrete slab replacement which is another time-consuming process and can take several weeks to fully cure, PolyLevel or Polymer injections only take up to one hour to fully set.
This allows the homeowner to utilize their sidewalk or driveway almost immediately after installation.
Another one of the amazing benefits to PolyLevel is that it is environmentally safe, it's made of recyclable materials meaning this homeowner can trust that zero toxic chemicals are leeching into the soil surrounding their home and inevitably the water supply.
Finally to fully ensure the longevity of this newly restored concrete, a heavy-duty ultra violet-resistant NexusPro sealant is applied. This joint sealant is placed into the expansion and control joints as well as sealing cracks, which ultimately prevents erosion.
To conclude the success of this process, this homeowner can rest easy knowing that tripping hazards have been fully eliminated and that their sidewalks are now fully fortified for years to come!

It's a commonly known fact that we all tend to crack under pressure, even concrete. As strong and solid as these walkways appear to be overtime due to avoidable environmental elements such as poorly compressed soil, moisture, and exposure to sunlight these heavy-duty surfaces can begin to look disheveled and uninviting. This can result in potentially fatal walking conditions and an unfortunate decline in the structural integrity of the surrounding area. Exactly like this Garfield, NJ homeowner was struggling with, uneven concrete slabs showing signs of settlement ultimately creating dangerous tripping hazards for visitors and residents nearby. After contacting our team of concrete repair experts, our system design specialist Joseph arrived at the home prepared to conduct a thorough analysis to essentially provide this owner with the most efficient and long lasting solution available. Then our foreman Ash reached the property with his skilled crew and began installing our specially patented PolyLevel Foam Injections beneath the sunken slabs to restore them to their original height as well as a full application of our ultraviolet resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant to certify that the surface is fully safeguarded from erosion. Now thanks to these two impressive products we have completely reinforced this concrete walkway for the foreseeable future!
A homeowner in Oradell, NJ was experiencing concrete settlement on their front porch. Cracking and settling of the concrete right outside their front door posed a problem for the homeowner because, not only was this the first thing being seen when stepping in or out of the house, but it poses a safety risk. This homeowner's porch was set up as a place for hospitality and entertaining, but the cracks and unlevel concrete slabs made it unsuitable for their desired use. They reached out to our team at Quality 1st for the best possible solution to service their porch. Our System Design Specialist, Nelson, was sent out to the home to provide the homeowners with the best estimate for the issue at hand. After a thorough inspection of the concrete porch, Nelson recommended our PolyLevel Injection Foam to raise the sunken concrete, as well as our NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal up the cracks in the concrete.
Our Foreman, Ash, arrived on site with our crew to install the PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions. PolyLevel is injected into the concrete slabs where it then expands and dries beneath the concrete. Being lightweight and waterproof, the PolyLevel prevents the possibility of any further erosion beneath the surface, ensuring that once the concrete is leveled, it stays leveled. Our NexusPro Joint Sealant was used in the cracks in the concrete to provide a bond between the concrete pieces and prevent any further separation between them. Once cured and dried, the porch was thoroughly cleaned by our crew to leave the porch clean, neat, and leveled.
The homeowner was very happy with the results! Their lovely farmer's porch, now safely leveled and sealed, serves as a warm welcome to the front entrance of the house, and the homeowner can enjoy their space without concerns of tripping, or more extensive concrete damage had they not reached out to us.

Our recommendation? A trifecta of solutions including the installation of CleanSpace, a durable, moisture-blocking liner designed to fully encapsulate the crawl space; SilverGlo, insulation panels that not only keep out the cold but also reflect heat back into the crawl space for energy efficiency; and the pièce de résistance, a SaniDry Sedona — a powerful but energy-efficient dehumidifier to control humidity and clean the air.
In Lyndhurst, NJ, the homeowner faced a recurring nightmare, persistent water intrusion in their basement. Despite efforts to manage the issue, the basement remained damp and dreary, with water seeping through walls and floors, leading to uninviting musty odors and concerns about potential mold growth.
Determined to solve the problem once and for all, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our team arrived ready to assess the situation and recommended a comprehensive waterproofing solution tailored to their exact repair needs.
The crew began by installing our specially crafted WaterGuard French Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement. This system effectively captured and redirected water away from the foundation, preventing it from pooling on the floor. Next, the crew set up our reinforced TripleSafe Sump Pump—a powerful, three-pump system designed to handle even the heaviest water loads, ensuring reliable and efficient water removal.
To complete this waterproofing process, we installed our heavy-duty SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which maintained optimal humidity levels and prevented mold growth by effectively preventing ongoing moisture.

The once damp and unusable space became dry, comfortable, and completely free of indications of decay.

Recently, a homeowner in Mickleton, NJ, reached out to us with a concern they wanted addressed. Their current sump pump setup was directing water into the sewer, a solution they were no longer satisfied with. They heard about our work through their neighbor, mentioning how we managed a similar situation for them. Our team at Quality 1st was eager to help, understanding the homeowner's need for a more efficient and reliable solution. Upon contacting our Customer Care team, the homeowner was scheduled for a home inspection, where our System Design Specialist carefully assessed the situation.

Our production team, including a dedicated foreman and experienced installers, went to work. They efficiently installed IceGuard, working meticulously to ensure the homeowner's property was treated with the utmost respect throughout the process. The installation was straightforward, involving redirecting the existing sump pump’s discharge away from the sewer and towards a more suitable outdoor area.
