Receive Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Services in Riverside

Recently, a homeowner in Delran Township, NJ, reached out to us with a specific need: they were in dire need of installing 2 egress windows in their basement. This wasn't just about letting more light into their basement or improving its aesthetics; it was a matter of enhancing their home’s safety and compliance with local building codes. After the homeowner called our Customer Care team, we got right to work. A System Design Specialist was quickly dispatched to the property for a thorough inspection. What we found was a basement that was not living up to its potential, neglecting both safety and functionality aspects that egress windows could provide. Our solution was clear and direct. We mapped out the installation of 2 egress windows that would not only illuminate this dimly lit area but also ensure that the space could serve as a safe exit in case of an emergency. 

A new homeowner in Delanco Township, NJ, had noticed the first floor of their newly purchased home felt suspiciously uneven. Concern initially brushed aside as the charm of an older house quickly escalated to concerns about the underlying health of the home – particularly the basement beams potentially letting history take too heavy a toll. Taking prompt measures, the homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st. Recognizing the urgency to protect both the value of the home and the safety of those living in it, our dedicated Customer Care team swiftly booked an inspection. When our System Design Specialist explored underneath, it wasn't just an aging infrastructure they discovered but an opportunity to revolutionize the home’s foundation. Enter SmartJack - our chosen sentinel against the sag. The solution was as streamlined as it was effective. Employing SmartJack entailed a tailored approach; positioning key supports exactly where the underpinnings had weakened the most. 

Recently, in the heart of Delran Township, NJ, we at Quality 1st were presented with a unique challenge. A homeowner reached out with a problem that seemed minor at first glance but actually posed a risk to their beloved 1930s home—a small, persistent leak in their basement following an early January rainstorm. The leak not only stained their walls but also began to degrade the structure of their floor, a situation compounded by a visible crack on the external wall of the structure. Given the age of the home and the compact nature of the basement, this was not a straightforward task. After the homeowner contacted our dedicated Customer Care team, we quickly dispatched a System Design Specialist to assess the situation comprehensively. The diagnosis? The basement needed immediate waterproofing to prevent further damage and restore the integrity of their foundation. Our proposed solution was to install our reliable WaterGuard system—an innovation designed to permanently address such leaks. Executing this plan involved precision, skill, and a bit of innovation, given the restrained working space and the need to preserve the house's aesthetic and structural integrity. 

This homeowner in Riverside, New Jersey noticed their concrete sidewalk was sinking and settling. This can occur from soil erosion, and from concrete being poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath, causing it to become unlevel. If this goes without repair, someone could trip and injure themselves.

The homeowner searched the internet for solutions and they came across Quality 1st Basement Systems. They gave us a call and our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist. Our specialist went to the home to provide an inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete.

A few days later, our foreman arrived at the home to begin 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. PolyLevel is a lightweight and environmentally friendly solution that will not add any weight to the existing soil.

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

An open-air front porch.  What a great amenity for any homeowner to relax on outdoors.  What happens, though, if that prized area is slowly sinking?  Homeowner Joseph S. from Riverside, NJ noticed a gradual sloping from one side of his porch to the other, a difference of nearly two inches.  He searched on-line and found Quality 1^st Basement Systems.  He needed to know if PolyLEVEL could be used to repair his porch.

Specialist Kenny Tramutola visited Joseph and inspected his porch.  With the concrete slab sinking and separating from the brick foundation, the PolyLEVEL process would be a quick and permanent fix for the porch.  The process would involve the injection of structural grade polymers beneath the concrete porch slab through small holes, lifting and stabilizing the area.  The material, less porous than concrete, would not wash out or deteriorate. 

Joseph S. was ready to have his porch level again.  Quality 1^st Basement Systems completed the work and since PolyLEVEL cures within 15 minutes, Joseph was happily back on his porch in a very short time! 

Homeowner Robin K. from Riverside, NJ began noticing some musty odors in her partially-finished basement.  There was a pattern; usually these odors were smelled during the summer months, and the humidity levels were also much higher then as well.  Robin knew that mold growth was possible under these conditions, so she attempted to keep humidity levels low by running a dehumidifier.  Over time, she found her basement situation to be so severe that it burned up three room dehumidifiers!  None of those systems were simply powerful enough.  She began looking for something more durable and reached out to Quality 1^st Basement Systems to find out more about their powerful, energy-efficient dehumidifiers.

The ultra-efficient SaniDry XP 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, high-efficiency SaniDry XP dehumidification system seemed to be exactly what was needed in Robin’s basement. It provided the assurance needed so Robin wouldn’t have to worry any more about mold growth and could run her system without running up her energy bill!
