Homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems when he noticed his sidewalk and driveway area were settling about 1 to 2 inches. This settlement created a gap between the concrete slab and the foundation of the home. PolyLevel was injected under the slab, raising it back to level.  The homeowner was amazed at the installation process and was shocked that within 15 minutes of the job being completed, he could park his car back in the driveway.

Job Stories From Ocean City, NJ
Concrete Garage Settlement In Ocean City, NJ

In Ocean City, NJ, a homeowner had recently noticed noticeable cracks and unevenness in the concrete around their garage and driveway. Over time, sections of the concrete began to sink and settle, creating tripping hazards and an unsightly appearance. The homeowner was concerned that the settlement was compromising the structural integrity of the driveway and garage area, and that further deterioration could lead to more serious damage. As the issue seemed to worsen with each passing season, the homeowner realized that the problem required a professional solution rather than continuing to ignore it or attempt temporary fixes. To ensure the safety and longevity of their driveway and garage, they contacted Quality 1st for a complete repair evaluation from their experienced concrete repair team. Upon arrival, the Quality 1st team thoroughly inspected the garage and driveway to assess the extent of the concrete settlement. The experts determined that the unevenness and cracks were likely caused by shifting soil beneath the concrete, causing the surface to sink over time.

Increased Moisture Levels In Ocean City, NJ Crawl Space

In Ocean City, NJ, a homeowner had been dealing with persistent moisture intrusions in their crawl space for several months, and the ongoing problem was starting to cause serious concern. Every time it rained, moisture would seep in through the walls, leading to damp conditions that left the space feeling musty and uncomfortable. Despite trying various DIY solutions such as placing fans in the area, the moisture continued to infiltrate, resulting in an increasingly unhealthy environment.

Realizing the situation was beyond temporary fixes, they decided to pursue the best possible repair approach and contacted Quality 1st for an extensive waterproofing consultation to find a lasting solution. Quality 1st responded quickly and sent an expert to assess the crawl space and determine the cause of the moisture intrusion. After conducting a thorough inspection, the consultant identified several contributing factors, including inadequate exterior drainage, a lack of a proper vapor barrier, and the presence of humidity due to poor ventilation. The expert recommended a comprehensive waterproofing solution that included sealing any cracks in the foundation by implementing our Foundation Repair Methods, installing our high-quality Vapor Barrier System to block moisture from entering, and improving the drainage around the home to direct water away from the foundation by adding our Drainage Pipe. Additionally, the consultant suggested installing our specially patented Crawl Space Sump Pump System and a Dehumidifier to manage any residual moisture and regulate humidity levels.

In Ocean City, NJ, a homeowner had been struggling with persistent damp conditions and musty odors in their crawl space for several months. Every time they entered the space, the unpleasant smell of mold and mildew was overwhelming, and the air felt damp and stale. Despite using fans and store bought dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture, the humidity levels remained high, and the problem seemed to get worse after every rainfall. The homeowner became increasingly worried about the potential for mold growth and the long-term damage that moisture could cause to the structure of the home, including wood rot and damage to the foundation. Realizing that the issue required a professional solution, they decided to pursue the best possible waterproofing approach and contacted Quality 1st for an extensive repair consultation. Quality 1st responded quickly and sent a waterproofing expert to conduct a thorough evaluation of the crawl space. After inspecting the area, the consultant determined that the damp conditions were primarily due to inadequate ventilation, poor drainage around the foundation, and the absence of proper insulation to block moisture from the soil.

Over time, the homeowner noticed the onset of musty odors and the development of mold and mildew in the space, leading to fears about the long-term health of their home. The increased moisture levels were starting to weaken the wooden supports and floor joists, and the homeowner was worried about the potential for structural damage if the water intrusion continued unchecked.

My crawlspace has a musty smell that I can smell in my house. The area needs to be cleaned out and dried and then some good insulation to stop the smell from creeping up through the floor into my house. I had lots of water under the house from previous storms so putting some thing on the ground might not be sufficient since it is possible it will get water again. John
