Expert Foundation Repairs and Basement Waterproofing Contractor in Boonton. Providing Crawl Space Encapsulations and Concrete Lifting

A Boonton, NJ homeowner was interested in encapsulating their crawl space for the winter. They searched the Internet for solutions and came across Quality 1st Basement Systems. After reviewing their work, the homeowner decided they would be the best fit. 

A full inspection and quote was created by our System Design Specialist, Will. Will recommended the CleanSpace Moisture Barrier as the best solution. CleanSpace is designed to keep the crawl space dry throughout the year, preventing any issues such as humidity, mold, and pollen pollution. 

A few weeks later, our crew arrived at the home and encapsulated their crawl space. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any issues in their crawl space.

A homeowner in Boonton, New Jersey noticed their concrete driveway was sinking and settling. This occurs when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the slab, causing it to become unlevel. If this goes without repair, someone could get injured from the tripping hazard. 

The homeowner searched online for solutions and came across Quality 1st Basement Systems and gave us a call. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Jeffrey Pitek. Jeffrey visited the home and provided a thorough inspection, and he 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 underneath the voids. This process is repeated until the concrete is brought 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 hazard of tripping! 

A homeowner in Boonton, New Jersey saw that their sump pump was not properly doing its job since water and moisture were still getting into the basement. This can happen if the sump pump does not have an airtight lid to keep water vapor out, or if the sump pump is old. A damp basement can have negative effects such as water damage, dust mites, pests, and mold growth.

The homeowner made a call to Quality 1st Basement Systems and after speaking with our customer service representative, the homeowner scheduled an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Javier Romero. Javier was able to provide an inspection and help them find a solution to this issue. Upon his inspection of the job site, he noticed that their sump pump was

Our foreman arrived at the job site and began the installation process of the new sump pump. The foreman installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which will effectively pump water out. This sump pump has three pumps in one twin liner and an airtight enclosed lid that will prevent water vapor from escaping into the basement air. TripleSafe also has a battery-operated backup pump that will kick in if the power goes out.

After the installation was done by our crew, the system was fully set and ready for action. The homeowner was happy with the process and since then has not experienced any other issues with their basement again.

Repairing your concrete is an essential need for your home. Not only does it provide an unattractive look for your home, but it can also decrease property value, and create tripping hazards. For instance, this Parsippany, NJ homeowner planned on closing their pool for the winter but wanted to have their pool deck repaired beforehand. When the next summer arrives, they will be able to reopen and enjoy their pool without having to worry about any issues.

We were able to resolve the issue by using the Polylevel Injection method, which is a better and more reliable solution than mudjacking. Unlike mudjacking, polylevel is a foam that is both waterproof and environmentally friendly. It is inserted, through small, penny-like holes, into the void underneath the slab. As the void is being filled, the foam begins to expand and lifts the concrete back to its original height. This process is less messy and Polylevel has a quick recovery time of fifteen minutes before allowing to be walked on. 

In conclusion, our crew uses Polylevel because it is a more sturdy and long-lasting resolution. Not only can we repair pool decks, but we can also repair other concrete platforms including patios, porches, sidewalks, and garage floors.
