The property manager of this condo association in Hackensack, NJ needed multiple concrete slabs repaired that were uneven. The settling of the sidewalk was only getting worse with time and it was only going to become a more expensive fix if additional time passed.

The problem was fixed by having the Quality 1st Basement Systems installation crew install the PolyLEVEL concrete lifting system underneath the concrete sidewalks. Using the PolyLEVEL system is fast, easy to install, and it is the cheaper alternative to replacing the concrete sidewalk. This property manager does not have to worry about people falling in or around the property.

Job Stories From Hackensack, NJ
Concrete Sidewalk Repair in Hackensack, NJ

A sidewalk should provide safety, not tripping hazards and injuries! This homeowner in Hackensack, New Jersey noticed their concrete sidewalk was sinking and becoming unlevel. This occurs when the soil becomes saturated and then gets dry, causing it to constantly shrink and expand. This can also happen when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil and the soil settles over time, causing it to become unlevel. 

The homeowner searched online 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, Joseph DelVecchio. Joseph 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 using our PolyLevel Injections. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath the slab. This process is repeated until the sidewalk is brought to a raised position. 

When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the outcome. They were able to safely walk on the sidewalk without the hazard of tripping! 

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

Cliff H.’s Hackensack, NJ home had a half finished basement that was prone to moisture and water.  To ensure a clean, healthy space, waterproofing expert Ron Michaels from Quality 1st Basement Systems recommended the installation of a SuperSump sump pump which has an airtight sump pump cover to keep nasty odors out and keep bugs and pests from falling in, a TrenchDrain, WaterGuard interior basement waterproofing system, drainage matting, and CleanSpace liner.

The CleanSpace liner is an effective vapor barrier that is made of 20 mil of high density polyethylene which protects your basement from normal wear and tear while also allowing easy access for servicemen or the homeowner without worry that it will rip or be damaged.  CleanSpace can be installed on walls or floors of both crawl spaces and basements alike.  It is even suitable for dirt basements because it will provide a barrier against moisture and humidity.

Although only half his basement is finished, now ALL of it is dry!  The team from Quality 1st Basement Systems was happy to help another homeowner and ease their home troubles.  The CleanSpace vapor barrier along with the other basement waterproofing products will keep Cliff H.’s basement clean and moisture free from now on.

Floor Cracks and Basement Water Solutions

Homeowner Satima S. contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate when there was water leaking in through cracks in her block foundation walls and water was pooling at the basement wall and floor seem.  Waterproofing expert Kenny Tramutola went out to assess the problem and come up with a solution for all this water.  He recommended a TripleSafe sump pump system that has three pumps to respond to any amount of water in addition to the WaterGuard interior basement waterproofing system.  This combination would capture any water leaking in and pump it straight out of the basement.

This solution helped for a while, but during a heavy rain, water leaked in through the mason work and an outside window causing water to splash out of the WaterGuard and onto the floor.  Damon Ludwig went out to fix the problem and discovered floor cracks that were allowing water to pool on the floor.  Luckily, we address basement waterproofing problems as well as basement cracks. 

Satima S.’s Hackensack, NJ home got the full basement waterproofing treatment.  Her cracks have been fixed and the TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard system keep her basement dry all year round.  If you have basement cracks or are struggling to keep your block foundation basement dry, we have all the solutions for you!
