Crawl Space Repair Experts in Burlington Providing Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repairs

Recently, we had a call from a concerned homeowner in Burlington, NJ, who was dealing with a troublesome vertical crack in their unfinished basement wall. This wasn't just a cosmetic issue—they were noticing unwelcome water seeping in, and it raised alarms that the uneven floors on the first and second levels could be related to this underlying problem. As soon as the homeowner reached out to us, our Customer Care team was on it, scheduling a detailed home inspection to get to the root of the issue. Our System Design Specialist was dispatched to perform a thorough assessment, diving deep into the basement's condition and analyzing how the water was making its way in. Confirming the homeowner's fears, it was indeed the crack contributing to the uneven floors above and providing an unwanted pathway for water. We knew exactly what needed to be done. The recommended solution: our FlexiSpan system, a top-notch choice for addressing such cracks definitively. This wasn't about slapping on a temporary fix; it was about ensuring the problem was rectified right from the get-go, preventing future water intrusion and stabilizing the structure's integrity. 

This homeowner in Burlington, New Jersey noticed their concrete was sinking and becoming unlevel. This can happen when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the surface, causing it to become unlevel. Concrete also sinks because of constant soil shrinkage and expansion. If this goes without repair, this tripping hazard could cause an injury to someone! 

The homeowner went online to look for solutions and they came across Quality 1st Basement Systems. They gave us a call and our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe. Chris 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 process 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 its original position. Within 20 minutes, our crew did a final clean up and the concrete was safe to walk on. 

When the job was completed, the homeowner was satisfied with the results. They were able to safely walk on their concrete without the concern of tripping hazards! 

This homeowner in Burlington, New Jersey noticed their concrete sidewalk was becoming unlevel and cracking. If this goes without repair, the uneven sidewalk could pose a major tripping hazard and someone could injure themselves. This occurs when concrete is poured over backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids in the soil beneath the concrete. 

The homeowner did not want to let this issue go without a resolution, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our customer service representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Bill Paterno. Bill provided an inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete to its original position. 

A couple of days later, our foreman arrived at the job site and began installed the PolyLevel Injection System.

Within 20 minutes, the concrete will be lifted and safe to walk on again. PolyLevel is a lightweight, environmentally friendly solution that will not wash out and is waterproof.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy with the results. They did not have a concern about injuring themselves on their sidewalk anymore! 

A homeowner in Burlington, New Jersey noticed water and moisture getting into their crawl space. This can happen because of the poorly compacted soil around the foundation. Over time, this soil becomes saturated during heavy rainfall, creating hydrostatic pressure which pushes water through the walls and floors in the crawl space. A wet crawl space can have many negative effects such as dust mites, pests, increased energy bills, and even mold growth.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after seeing our ads on Facebook, and our System Design Specialist, Javier Romero, was able to provide an inspection of the home. Upon his inspection, Javier noticed the moisture in the crawl space and he suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to seal it from the earth's elements.

Our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick and durable like a pool liner. This process is done by removing debris, dirt, and leveling uneven surfaces. Then, the liner is carefully placed throughout the crawl space and is secured with drilled-in fasteners and spikes. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier will ensure that moisture and water stay out, and the crawl space stays dry.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the finished outcome. Now, the homeowner has a usable space for storage, and they no longer have to worry about moisture in their crawl space.

A homeowner in Burlington, NJ has been living in his home for over thirty years and has never done any home repairs. One day, he noticed that his driveway looked uneven. The homeowner did not think that there was anything seriously wrong with this, so he went on with his day. The next morning, the homeowner was leaving for work, and he tripped on the uneven slabs. He called Quality 1st Basement Systems and scheduled an appointment for his driveway to be repaired. 

By the next week, our design specialist, and crew repaired the homeowner's driveway. Instead of mudjacking, our crew used the Polylevel System, a state of the arch approach to repair the uneven slabs. Our crew first dilled small holes into the slabs and injected structural grade polymers into the empty void. Once the void has been filled, the expansion of the polyurethane lifted the slabs to their proper height. Our crew repeated this method until the entire driveway was complete.

Since his driveway has been fully repaired, the homeowner did not have any accidents and problems. He has been fully satisfied since then. 

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. 

Homeowner Kristofer from Burlington had a tenant in the livable basement space, but he also found that he had a water problem there.  The tenant indicated that water was coming up through the floor, getting the carpeting wet.

Kristofer searched the internet and found that Quality 1^st Basement Systems might be just the help he needed.  Waterproofing specialist Maurice Robinson visited the homeowner, inspected the basement, and designed a solution.

Project Manager Melvin Cardoza headed a crew to install the WaterGuard System along the basement walls and a SuperSump sump pump to discharge any water that seeps into the WaterGuard.  This combination was supplemented with the FlexiSpan crack repair system to provide an effective, permanent solution to block water intrusion through the vertical crack found on one wall.  Additionally, the crew installed an IceGuard (designed to prevent flooding in the event of frozen discharge pipes) and a LawnScape outlet (to disperse discharge water away from the house and onto the lawn).  Quality 1^st Basement Systems helped to create a drier basement, providing relief for both the homeowner and the tenant, too!
