Quality 1st Basement Systems serving Mauricetown, NJ

We had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Mauricetown, NJ, who was facing unique challenges with their historic home. Originally constructed in the late 1700s with a colonial-style kitchen added on, this very old Victorian gem rested on cornerstones, lacking a traditional foundation. This situation presented a twofold problem: a concerning lack of structural soundness and an inability to control temperatures in the kitchen, making it extremely cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Understanding the homeowner's desire to maintain the historical integrity of the property while seeking a reliable and long-lasting solution, we proposed a tailored plan that would meet both goals without any compromise. We introduced the homeowner to our comprehensive solution involving CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and SmartJack products - each carefully selected to address the unique challenges of this project. CleanSpace was used to encapsulate the crawl space area, effectively sealing out moisture and outdoor air, which was paramount in improving temperature control within the kitchen. SilverGlo insulation panels were installed on the walls of the crawl space, reflecting heat back into the space during winter and keeping it cooler in summer. Finally, to bolster the structural integrity of the building especially around the colonial kitchen, we installed SmartJack support jacks. These jacks were strategically placed to provide stabilization and lift where it was most critically needed, ensuring the home stood firm and secure. We succeeded in sealing up the underside of the home, drastically improving comfort in the home itself throughout the year, and reinforcing the home's structural integrity.

We had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Mauricetown, NJ, who was facing a stressful situation with their house. Imagine discovering your basement wall isn't just cracked, but actually bowing inward towards your living space. Concerned about the structural integrity of their home, they reached out to us at Quality 1st. The moment our Customer Care team picked up the call, the journey to a solution was underway. We scheduled a home inspection where one of our System Design Specialists visited the home to get a first-hand look at the issue. Upon inspecting the bowing wall, it was clear that a strong, reliable fix was necessary – and fast. We recommended the PowerBrace system, a proven solution for stabilizing foundation walls that are under pressure. Our production team, consisting of a knowledgeable foreman and skilled installers, went to work. The PowerBrace system involves steel I-beams secured tightly against the problematic wall. These braces are designed to not just hold the wall in place but also provide the potential to straighten the wall over time with minimal disturbance to the property and the homeowner's daily life. The result? The bowing wall is now secure, providing peace of mind to the homeowners knowing that their home’s foundation is stable.
