Crawl Space and Basement Wateproofing. Foundation and Concrete Repairs in Vincentown, NJ

Quality 1st Basement Systems received a call from a homeowner in Shamong, NJ. The homeowner explained how their home was undergoing serious foundation issues and needed to find a permeant solution. Some of the signs included bowing and cracking basement walls and sagging floors, so we scheduled the appointment for our Senior Design Specialist, Jack H., to inspect the problems and provide a quote for the homeowner. Jack arrived at the home, on time, and inspected the walls and floors. After a careful inspection, Jack recommended two of our foundation repair products for the homeowner.

First, Jack recommended our Carbon Armor Reinforcement Straps that help stabilize bowing and cracking walls. The material is made from carbon fiber that is 10x stronger than steel and is flexible enough to move with the cracks and stabilize them. 

Second, Jack recommended our SmartJack System by Supportworks to help stabilize and straighten the sagging floors. Our SmartJack System is made from galvanized steel, so it will not rust nor corrode. The system is also adjustable, so it can adjust the floor to the homeowner's desired height. 

Since the installation, the homeowner was happy to see their basement walls and floors fully repaired. They have not experienced any other issues in their home, and Quality 1st Basement Systems has satisfied another homeowner yet again!

Carl, a Southampton, NJ homeowner indicated there was something wrong with their home after experiencing a sagging sensation on their first floor. They knew that if this problem was not resolved it would grow to cause more serious damage. They needed to find a solution, so they searched on Google and found Quality 1st Basement Systems. 

After a quick phone call, Carl scheduled an appointment for our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, to come out and inspect the floors. Jack arrived at the home, on time, and proceeded to inspect the first floor of the home. After inspecting the first floor, Jack then went to the basement to see if the problem started from there, to which it did.

The basement beams were weak, causing the sagging sensation on the first floor. A possible cause of this would be the wood rotting over time, or due to the amount of weight inside the home. Jack then recommended our SmartJack System would be the perfect solution for the homeowner. Our SmartJack System provides solid support for sagging beams, ending the nagging sensation that Carl was experiencing.

After the installation, Carl did not experience their floors sagging again. He was as thrilled to have found the solution, with the help of Quality 1st Basement Systems. 

Musty smells…water seepage...signs of a problem in the crawl space.  What’s the next thing to do? 

Well, Ray from Vincentown was lucky enough to have a friend who had work done by Quality 1^st Basement Systems, so he soon learned that he could have a crawl space specialist visit to provide him with a free estimate for repairs to the problems he was experiencing.  He had nothing to lose and was searching for a resolution.  Without hesitation, he called to schedule an appointment. 

A Quality 1^st Basement Systems’ specialist completed a thorough inspection of the crawl space, answered Ray’s questions, and then suggested that TerraBlock padded insulation be installed on the crawl space floor for a combination of energy savings and moisture protection.  In addition, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were suggested for the walls to result in additional water vapor protection while boosting energy efficiency as the panels reflect heat back into the crawl space.  Then, the durable CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier (with a 25-year warranty against rips and tears) would be a quick-install to further isolate the home from the earth, providing yet another barrier to moisture which can cause mold and musty smells.  Lastly, installing a sturdy new, airtight Everlast Door made from inorganic plastics and foams would further help in sealing the space under the home. 

Completion of the project permitted Ray to not only have a drier crawl space, but also to experience a warmer main level of her home with energy-cost savings.  In addition, Ray took advantage of a Preferred Customer Discount being offered and saved money on his investment.   Quality 1^st Basement Systems was happy to have helped Ray achieve a greater peace of mind through this crawl space remediation! 

This homeowner in Shamong, NJ had a critter problem. One of the vents to the crawl space decayed and left an opening for a large rodent to find a home in the crawl space. After the problem was resolved, the family thought about the quality of their crawl space. It was humid and now it was open for any insects or pests to move in.

Quality 1st Basement Systems closed up the crawl space with a vent cover. The crawl space vent cover protects the area from moisture, humidity, and any outdoor pests looking to come into the crawl space. Then, to lower the humidity the crew installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry is a self-draining dehumidification system that removes moisture from the air and also filters out health harming allergens such as dust mite droppings. Now this crawl space has lowered humidity and is protected from nasty pests.
