The Expert Basement Waterproofers for Medford. Professional Foundation Repairs, and Crawl Space Services

This homeowner in Medford, New Jersey noticed their concrete sidewalk was sinking and settling. This can occur from soil erosion underneath the slab. As water runs down through the cracks of the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through. If this goes without repair, someone could trip and injure themselves. 

The homeowner did not want this issue to go without repair, so they searched the internet for solutions. They found Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe, provided a thorough inspection of the concrete. Chris suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete. 

A few days later, our foreman arrived at the home and 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 concrete is brought to a raised position. 

When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy with the results. They were able to safely walk on their concrete without concern of tripping hazards. 

This homeowner in Medford, New Jersey noticed their patio was sinking and becoming unlevel. This occurs because of the poorly compacted soil underneath the concrete. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath. This can be dangerous because a friend or family member can easily trip and injure themselves.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our customer service representative was able to book them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe. Chirs provided an inspection of the home and he noticed how the concrete was sinking. Chris suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete.

Our foreman arrived on the site and began the process of using the PolyLevel Injection System which will level the slab. This process is done by drilling tiny holes into the slab and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. The polyurethane foam has expanding properties that allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. PolyLevel is a lightweight, environmentally friendly, and waterproof solution that will not wash out, or add any weight to the existing soil.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome. They were able to safely walk on their patio without the hazard of tripping and hurting themselves.

Quality 1st used a polyurethane foam, PolyLevel to raise the sidewalk back to its original position.

One of Quality 1^st Basement Systems’ foundation specialists, Kenny Tramutola, was scheduled to meet with a Medford homeowner who was looking to get a free estimate for his failing foundation wall.  Kenny inspected the bowing basement wall.  Though the problem may have initially seemed like an overwhelming situation for the homeowner, Kenny was able to assure him that the tools and products available was a sure solution. 

Kenny determined that the best solution for this homeowner’s problem was the PowerBrace system of support.  The corrosion-resistant system can mean more than support; it can potentially improve the wall over time by means of its patented system of tightening.  With the homeowner’s consent, an installation date was scheduled.  The installation of the steel beams immediately stabilized the home and prevented the wall from further movement.  Quality 1^st Basement Systems was happy to put the homeowner at ease once again with a newly-secured foundation wall.  

Although homeowner Joana S. from Medford, NJ had no water problems in her crawl space, she did notice some musty smells circulating down there. She wasn’t sure what the best solution would be – a dehumidifier? A sump pump? A vapor barrier?  She inquired with Quality 1^st Basement Systems, looking for an expert to help her resolve her problem. 

Waterproofing specialist John Schweitzer completed a thorough inspection of Joana’s crawl space, discussed the best options for resolving the musty smells (including a dehumidifier and vent covers), and provided her with a free estimate.

The low-profile, powerful, energy-efficient SaniDry CX removes the moisture from the air and blows out a dry air into the space. This system helps keep the humidity levels below 50%, reducing the chance for mold to grow.  It also has a two-stage filter system to clean the air of allergens.  There are no water catch-basins to empty as the system is self-draining.  The high-capacity SaniDry CX dehumidification system installed in conjunction with CleanSpace vent covers (to seal out the moisture) seemed to be exactly what was needed in Joana’s crawl space to stop the musty smells. Joana could run her new system, removing the humid air that creates mold and musty smells, while saving energy at the same time!

David R. from Medford, NJ was thinking about encapsulating his concrete-floor crawlspace.  The space was damp and insulation was falling down.  He scheduled an appointment to have waterproofing specialist Jeff Nero out to inspect the problem area, answer David’s questions, develop a plan for fixing the crawlspace, and provide a free estimate.  David was pleased with the proposed plan and cost so he decided to move forward with the work.

Project Manager Victor Leon brought his crew to David’s property and began the remediation process. CleanSpace Drainage Matting was installed on the floor to eliminate sitting water and direct it to the SmartSump sump pump system. The high-quality, low-profile SmartSump would pump the water out and away from the home and disperse it onto the lawn through the LawnScape discharge outlet.  An IceGuard was included along the discharge route for colder months, to prevent flooding if ice begins to block the way.  Lastly, airtight CleanSpace vent covers were installed to seal out moisture and a CleanSpace liner was installed to complete the encapsulation by further preventing water vapor from making its way into the crawl space.   

By the end of the project, David R. found his crawl space transformed from a dark, damp space beneath his home to a cleaner, brighter, drier area isolated from the earth.  Quality 1^st Basement Systems was happy to please this customer!
