Waterproofing Basements, Foundation Repair, and Crawlspace Services in Keyport, NJ

This homeowner in Union Beach, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was becoming smelly and attracting moisture. Your crawl space is supposed to be dry and healthy, not damp and stinky. This happens because the poorly compacted soil around the foundation becomes saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, which pushes water to seep through the walls and floors. Also, the soil in the crawl space can play a part, since the water vapor from soil can rise up into the crawl space air. 

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our customer service representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Dane Cuccinello. Dane arrived at the home and provided an inspection of the crawl space and suggested they encapsulate the space. 

Our foreman began the process of installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This is done by removing any dirt and debris, leveling uneven surfaces, carefully placing the system to fit the crawl space, and securing it in place with drilled-in spikers and fasteners. CleanSpace is mold-proof and waterproof and is thick and durable like a pool liner. This system will not only provide protection against water and moisture but also delivers the homeowner with usable storage space.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome, as well as the professionalism throughout their experience. They had peace of mind to know that their crawl space is protected from moisture.

A homeowner in Keyport, New Jersey saw their walls were cracking and bowing inwards. This is a symptom of wall failure and happens because of the poorly compacted soil around the home. Over time, this soil becomes saturated during heavy rainfall which creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing the wall inward. This can become an issue because if gone unrepaired it can be costly. 

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 who inspected the home. Upon his inspection, the system design specialist noticed how the walls were bowing inwards and he suggested they install a steel beam to be secured against the wall.

Our foreman, Esau Aquino, arrived on the site and began the installation process of the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. This is done by custom fitting zinc-plated beams to the basement wall height and secured tightly against it. This is done with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor and floor joists. There is no heavy equipment needed and no disturbance to the home's lawn or landscaping. The PowerBrace System was meant to provide strong reinforcement while protecting the home's floor system.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome. They did not have to worry about their foundation walls or any expensive repairs. 

A homeowner in Keyport, NJ knew it was time to repair their sidewalk, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. After speaking with our customer service representative, the homeowner scheduled an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber.

Jack knew our crew would be able to repair the sidewalk by using Polylevel Injection, and they could also refill the cracks using the NexusPro Seal. Both products are guaranteed to fully repair the sidewalk, and are waterproof, environmentally friendly, and have a quick recovery time.

In the end, the homeowner was happy to see their sidewalk fully repaired. 

It's every homeowner's biggest fear. Bowing walls in the basement mean a sign of a larger problem. When Brad B. in Keyport, NJ noticed that his basement walls were tilting forward, he worried about the safety of his home. Tilting basement walls can collapse, causing the whole house to dangerously fall inward. His home was his pride, it was where his family lived and he wanted to keep them safe. 

Led by foreman Juan Garcia, Quality 1st Basement Systems stabilized the foundation wall with CarbonArmor. Used by the US Department of Defense, CarbonArmor is a high-tech solution for bowing walls. The carbon wall straps are ten times stronger than steel. Once attached to the wall, the straps were covered with an epoxy resin to seal them in place. The tight contour braces the wall, preventing it from bowing further.
