Crawl Space Repair, Foundation Repair, and Basement Waterproofing in Marlton, NJ

This homeowner in Marlton, New Jersey had their summer pool parties interrupted by unlevel concrete! This happens when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the concrete. If this goes without repair, someone could injure themselves on the concrete. 

The homeowner searched online for solutions and came across Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe provided a thorough inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete. 

A few days later, our concrete repair foreman, Dylan McDonald, began the process of using our PolyLevel Injections. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. This process is repeated until the slab is brought to a lifted position. PolyLevel is a lightweight and environmentally friendly solution that will not add any weight to the soil. 

Within 20 minutes, the job was complete and the pool patio was safe to walk on again. The homeowner was satisfied with the results, as well as the professionalism they witnessed throughout the process. Now, they can continue their summer pool parties! 

A homeowner in Marlton, New Jersey noticed their foundation walls bowing and contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the foundation and recommended that GeoLock Wall Anchors be installed to repair the bowing walls. These anchors are made of galvanized steel to prevent any further movement of the walls. These anchors work by extending from the wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond the home. They anchor into the stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement.

The foam is injected into the concrete through penny-size holes and starts expanding and lifting the concrete within minutes. The patio is lifted and ready to be used that very same day.

A homeowner in Marlton, New Jersey was experiencing water coming into their basement every time it rained. The homeowners contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended it be waterproofed. WaterGuard was installed underneath the floor slab, on top of the foundation footing, to keep the system out of the mud zone. A sump pump was also installed to pump the water out of the basement. The TripleSafe sump pump has three levels of pumps to ensure that the basement is fully protected and in case of one pump failure, there are back ups. With these systems installed, the homeowners will not have to worry about water in their basement anymore.  

Anthony C. of Marlton, NJ was preparing his townhouse for sale.  He wanted to install new insulation in the crawl space for greater energy efficiency.  He searched the internet and found that Quality 1^st Basement Systems offers no-obligation, free estimates, so he arranged an appointment to meet with John Schweitzer, crawl space specialist.

John proposed the installation of SilverGlo Insulation Panels (over the block walls) as well as SilverGlo Rim Joist Insulation (around the main floor framing system).  These products have an R-11 value to keep heat in the crawl space and therefore also provide a warmer living area above.

Anthony C. decided that Quality 1^st Basement System’s plan for insulating the crawl space was both energy efficient and affordable; Quality 1^st was pleased to help Anthony repair his townhouse and make the real estate transaction smoother because of it!
