Somerville Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Expert

This Branchburg, NJ homeowner was recently struggling with ongoing concerns due to indications of structural settlement around their backyard poolside patio. The owner was severely anxious about potentially fatal walking conditions, and signs of detrimental structural decay. Concrete settlement is a direct result of unavoidable environmental factors, such as exposure to sunlight, moisture, and poorly deposited fill soil.

After extensively communicating with the owner, we sent out our system design specialist Joseph to survey the property and determine the most crucial fix. Next our foreman Ash and his crew started installing our specially patented PolyLevel Foam Injections beneath the disheveled concrete slabs to fully lift and restore them to their designated surface height. This impressive product not only repairs but also entirely strengthens the weakened surface, by increasing it's load bearing capabilities, due to its ability to fill in any voids left from poorly deposited fill soil.

From now on this walkway is completely fortified to defend against further settlement challenges. 

Jacob, a Branchburg, NJ homeowner noticed that his crawlspace became very damp and moist over the passed year, and he new that it would lead to serious damage. After carefully searching the Internet, Jacob discovered Quality 1st Basement Systems. After reading the reviews on their website, Jacob thought Quality 1st Basements would be a good fit and contacted us.

After talking with our customer service representative, Jacob scheduled an appointment for our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, to come an inspect his crawlspace. The next day, Joe arrived to the home, on time, and greeted Jacob - he then proceeded to inspect the crawlspace. After fully inspecting the crawlspace, Joe suggested that the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier would be the perfect solution for Jacob. The Cleanspace Vapor Barrier prevents humidity from getting into the crawlspace and keeps it completely dry. CleanSpace allows creates a clean, bright-white look to the area, allowing Jacob to use it as an extra storage room if needed. After hearing Joe's suggestion, Jacob agreed and scheduled another appointment for our crew to install the Crawlspace Vapor Barrier. 

Since the CrawlSpace Vapor Barrier had been installed, Jacob has no more issues with his crawlspace, resulting in his full satisfaction with Quality 1st Basement Systems. 

A homeowner in Somerville was interested in options for finishing the floor in one area of his basement.  He had a relatively dry basement and was hoping to create another usable area.  He was considering a conventional flooring; however, he happened to come across Quality 1^st Basement Systems in his internet search.  As free estimates were offered, this homeowner decided he would schedule an appointment just so he could compare the options available to him.

System Design Specialist Thomas Nehme visited the Somerville home, shared some of the quality flooring products available, and discussed how these products were engineered with basement conditions in mind.  While mold grows on organic materials when given the proper conditions, such as dampness coming through a porous concrete floor or a high humidity level in the room, ThermalDry Basement Floor Tiles would be resistant as they are manufactured from inorganic materials.  Additionally, these basement floor tiles will not crack or shatter yet they provide a marble-like appearance (in either Sandstone Gray or Canyon Beige).  The tiles would provide a nice complement to the already-existing finished area of the basement.  The floor temperature is also increased by these tiles as they create a break from the surface of the concrete floor.  Thomas provided a free estimate to the homeowner, answered all of his questions, and addressed any concerns.

This homeowner was happy to have Quality 1^st Basement Systems install the flooring, knowing that they offered the best option to meet his needs.  In fact, this homeowner was so satisfied with the product, service, and installation that he requested Quality 1^st Basement Systems complete another section of flooring in his basement just a few months later!

A Somerville homeowner began to notice some seepage coming through the wall in her unfinished basement.  While flipping through the Home Improvement Guide, she found that Quality 1^st Basement Systems offered a no-obligation free inspection and estimate by a waterproofing specialist, so she called to schedule an appointment.

After completing a thorough interior and exterior inspection of the basement, Kenny Tramutola, the Quality 1^st Basement Systems’ waterproofing specialist, came up with an ideal plan to resolve the water issues.  He carefully explained his findings and waterproofing plans and provided a free estimate for the waterproofing products and work. 

The plan included installation of a full-perimeter WaterGuard (to channel and direct any water seepage); a TripleSafe Sump Pump System (to efficiently and reliably remove water from the basement area as well as provide back-up pumps in case of pump or power failure); and an IceGuard (designed to prevent flooding in the event of frozen discharge pipes). 

Kenny also included installation of a SaniDry XP, a powerful and efficient dehumidification system which can drain automatically so it never has to be emptied.  Additionally, BrightWall would be installed on the walls to keep out water vapor and humidity while it directs water seepage to the WaterGuard drain. 

With this project, Quality 1st Basement Systems helped to create a drier basement for the homeowner.  Additionally, the space was brightened up and sported a cleaner look with the Bright Wall.  This homeowner was rest assured that she could put away worries about water seepage in the basement from thereon in.
