Tuckerton Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Pro

This homeowner in Tuckerton, New Jersey noticed their concrete was sinking and settling. This can happen when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the concrete, which causes the concrete to sink. If this goes without repair, someone could trip and injure themselves.

The homeowner searched online 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, Chris Bowe. Chris provided a thorough inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete. 

A few days later, our foreman arrived at the home and began the process of using our PolyLevel Injections. This method is done by drilling small 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. 

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

The Jersey shore took a big hit during Hurricane Sandy.  Many homeowners scrambled to repair while sadly, some witnessed the destruction of what was left of their homes.  What the storm did for Tuckerton homeowner Anthony D. was motivated him to seek preventative measures to protect his asset from future damage by Mother Nature.  He wanted to keep water from building up in the crawl space beneath his home.  Also, he worried that the storm water intrusion had caused some further settling of his home, affecting the foundation. 

Anthony turned to the internet to search for help.  He found Quality 1^st Basement Systems and scheduled a free estimate appointment for a waterproofing and foundation specialist to inspect the crawl space area.  Quality 1^st developed a plan for resolving the future threat of water beneath the home and they worked with engineers to plan the rebuilding and securing of the foundation.

The planned remediation process for this crawl space involved the installation of SmartPipe drainage pipe around the perimeter, designed to collect water from foundation walls and floors of dirt crawl spaces. CleanSpace Drainage Matting and the CleanSpace liner would help seal the earth from the home, to keep moisture from seeping in.  Additionally, the installation of a SmartSump would pump the water out of the crawl space.  The installation of an IceGuard would prevent flooding in the event that low temperatures cause the discharge line to freeze.  Also, a LawnScape outlet placed at the end of the discharge line would help disperse water away from the home.  SilverGlo Wall Panels would further prevent moisture in the crawlspace when installed on the walls, and a SaniDry CX air filtration system would maintain low humidity levels in the problem area.  

SmartVents strategically installed in the crawl space would allow flood waters to move through the crawl space area rather than threaten to weaken the foundation.  The failing foundation would be secured through installation of a series of galvanized steel GeoLock Wall Anchors, designed to brace the wall and prevent further movement for a permanent solution.    

Anthony D. resolved to not only fix his current crawl space and foundation problems, but to enlist the help of Quality 1^st to install a sense of security through products and work which would protect his home from future storm damage.  Quality 1^st Basement Systems was happy to meet Anthony’s needs with the best solutions available!
