Receive Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Services in Riverside

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!
