Basement & Crawl Space Waterproofing, Foundation Repair Pro Serving Newark, NJ

Newark homeowners contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on their sinking sidewalks in front and along side their apartment. The sidewalks were uneven and creating a tripping hazard where people needed to watch their step each time they walked by. The homeowners had enough and decided it was time to repair them. Thankfully they heard that Quality 1st Basement Systems had a permanent solution for this type of concern. 

Concrete Repair Specialist, Jeff Pitek measured up to 6 inches in settlement throughout the entire area. 6 inches of sinking slab can definitely cause someone harm if they aren't watching where they step. Jeff reassured the homeowners that they would not have to replace the sidewalk area since PolyLevel could raise the slabs back to their original state.  

The crew drilled small penny-size holes into each sinking slab. PolyLevel foam is injected underneath the slab where it expands and hardens raising and stabilizing the slab. PolyLevel causes no disturbance to the surrounding area of the home and within 15 minutes of the sidewalks being elevated, anyone could walk on it. The homeowners were amazed at the transformation of their sidewalk and so were the neighbors. Seeing how fast and efficient PolyLevel was, neighbors wanted Quality 1st Basement Systems to inspect their sidewalks as well. Quality 1st Basement Systems was happy they had another satisfied customer. 

When Juan P. walked into his basement one day and noticed it smelled of must, he knew that air freshener would not be enough.  He immediately began researching companies that could help him solve the must problem. He came across Quality 1st Basement Systems, and immediately gave them a call.  Within a few days, Wilver Cardoza met with the homeowner to inspect the problem.

In a single day, Wilver and his crew came in and installed SaniDry.  SaniDry is a dehumidification system that will eliminate the musty smell in the air and replace it with fresh, clean smelling air.

With the SaniDry system in place, Juan no longer has to cover his nose to go into his basement.  With help from the professionals at Quality 1st Basement Systems, Juan has a fresh-smelling, healthy basement that he can happily enjoy with his family.

When professional contractor Don P. found that he had a problem even he couldn’t solve, he knew he needed a professional company he that could trust to come in and do the work.  Don called upon Quality 1st Basement Systems to come out and help him solve his problem.  Don met with waterproofing specialist Dan McNally who inspected the water problem.

Dan explained that Don’s water troubles were caused by water seepage coming through his basement walls and flooding his basement.  William and his crew were called in to begin the waterproofing process. CleanSpace wall covering was installed to eliminate the water seepage and effectively drain the water.  Next, a WaterGuard system to drain the water out of the home.  A TripleSafe sump pump and IceGuard discharge line were also installed to protect the basement from flooding and any weather condition or scenario. 

Don understands the joy that fixing a home can be, but he also understands the hardship of not being able to solve a problem.  At Quality 1st Basement Systems no matter the situation a problem will always be solved, and Don’s flooding problems have become a thing of the past.
