Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Services, and Foundation Repair in Holmdel, NJ

Recently, during an annual maintenance service in Holmdel, NJ, our dedicated Quality 1st team identified a pressing issue in a homeowner's crawl space. Due to its enclosed nature, the area was grappling with high humidity levels, a common but challenging problem that often goes unnoticed. Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy living environment, the homeowner turned to us for a reliable solution. It was clear to us that to address the issue effectively, we needed to install a high-quality dehumidifier, which led us to recommend the SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona is renowned for its powerful, energy-efficient dehumidification capabilities, designed specifically to tackle high humidity in crawl spaces and basements while being discreet and quiet.

In Holmdel, NJ, a homeowner discovered their backyard patio had developed serious settlement issues, causing the concrete slabs to sink and create an uneven surface. Concerned about a decline in safety standards and the overall appearance of the patio, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional assessment and solution. Our system design specialist Joe carried out a thorough inspection of the property, which revealed that soil erosion and moisture infiltration had compromised the stability of the ground beneath the patio.

Quality 1st Basement Systems proposed a dual approach to address the problem. Next our foreman Ramon began installing our specially patented PolyLevel Foam Injections to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. This involved injecting a high-density foam beneath the concrete, which expanded to fill the voids and raise the patio back to its original level. To complete the repair, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to fill and seal cracks and joints, preventing future erosion from water infiltration.

The repair process effectively restored the patio's level surface and ensured long-term durability. The homeowner was pleased with the swift and professional service provided by Quality 1st Basement Systems, as the patio was not only made safe and functional again but also certifiably protected against future settlement issues!

A sidewalk should provide safety for pedestrians, not dangerous tripping hazards! This homeowner in Holmdel, New Jersey noticed the sidewalk outside of their home was beginning to sink and create tripping hazards. This happens when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and causes the slab to shift and sink. If this goes without repair, people could get hurt and get injured!

The homeowner wanted this issue to be fixed quickly, so they searched online for solutions. They came across Quality 1st Basement Systems and our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek. Jeff provided a thorough inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete. 

A few days later, our foreman Ramon 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 slab into the voids to lift them. This method is repeated until the concrete slabs are brought to a raised position. Our crew did a final clean-up of the job and within 20 minutes, the sidewalk was raised and level. 

When the homeowner saw the job was complete, they were satisfied with the results. They were able to safely walk on the sidewalk without the concerns of dangerous tripping hazards!

A homeowner in Holmdel, NJ noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space, indicating there was an issue. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and told them about the situation. Afterward, an appointment was scheduled for our System Design Specialist, Joe H., to inspect the home. Once he arrived at the home, on time, Joe inspected the crawl space. 

During his inspection, Joe discovered the crawl space was humid and damp, causing signs of mold growth and dust mites. This was the cause of the musty smells lurking in the home. Joe presented this to the homeowner and recommended their crawl space be encapsulated to prevent the issues from getting worse. To do this, Joe recommended our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier that prevents humidity and dampness from passing through the crawl space. CleanSpace also transforms the crawl space from the dark and wet area into a dry and clean space. 

Since the installation, the homeowner has not had any other issues. They are happy to have their CleanSpace Barrier installed, and have been completely satisfied with our services. 

A homeowner in Holmdel, New Jersey noticed water coming into their crawl space through the walls and floor. This occurs because the soil around the foundation is poorly compacted. Over time, this soil gets saturated and creates hydrostatic pressure, which pushes water and moisture through the walls and floors. Moisture can also get into the crawl space air because of the soil in a crawl space. This can have many negative effects such as pests, aggravated allergies, musty smells, and mold growth. 

Looking for a solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joe Hubbard, was able to inspect their home and help them. Upon his inspection at the site, Joe noticed the dampness in the crawl space, and also made a point that the crawl space is not sealed from the earth, so he suggested an encapsulation.

Our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick and durable like a pool liner and seals the crawl space from the earth. This system does not require heavy equipment and can be installed within a day. The process is done by removing any debris in the crawl space and leveling uneven surfaces and fastening the liner with drilled spikes. CleanSpace will protect the crawl space from water and moisture while having a bright and fresh appearance.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome. They had peace of mind knowing that their crawl space is now healthy and is able to hold storage without any damage.

A Holmdel homeowner had a crawl space that filled with water and debris due to a below ground door that was not properly sealed. The build up of water was causing humidity in the crawl space. Excess water and humidity in this crawl space caused this homeowner to see mold symptoms. The humidity in the space was creating a breeding ground for dust mites, which posed an allergy risk for the residents. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed the Turtl, which is a plastic crawl space door and access well. Due to its durable plastic material, the Turtl will never rot or deteriorate; it will last as long as the home will. The tight fitting Turtl does not allow for humidity to seep into crawl spaces, thus preventing the moisture necessary for mold to grow. The homeowner chose the green color option to match her exterior and was very happy with both the look and functionality of the Turtl.
