Woodbridge, NJ Reliable Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Experts

This homeowner in Woodbridge, New Jersey noticed their concrete driveway was becoming unlevel and cracking. This can happen when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the slab. If this goes without repair, someone could trip and injure themselves!

The homeowner didn't want this issue to go without a solution, so they searched the internet. They came across Quality 1st Basement Systems and gave us a call. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Joseph DelVecchio. Joseph 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 is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath. This will allow the polyurethane foam to expand underneath and fill the voids. This process is repeated until the concrete driveway 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 driveway without the concern of tripping hazards! 

Quality 1st Basement Systems received a call from a Woodbridge, NJ homeowner about their basement. Water had seeped into the basement and caused dampness; this could potentially lead to mold. We were able to resolve the issue by installing our WaterGuard French Drain System. 

The WaterGuard French Drain System is the perfect solution to clearing your basement from excess water. It is designed to collect water seeping from the basement walls and direct it to your sump pump. Specifically, WaterGuard is made from plastic so it will never rust, and it is placed on top of the "mud zone" so it will never clog with rocks, mud, and water. 

Since the installation, the homeowner did not experience any other issues in their basement again. 

A crawl space is the last place in your home you are in often. it is important to always inspect your crawl space to make sure it is clean, dry and healthy for your home sits right on top of it. If you let an entire season such as summer go by without checking, a small problem can turn into a big one. This is exactly what happened to a homeowner living in Point Pleasant, NJ. With the summer being full of warm weather and sun, this homeowner forgot to inspect their crawl space. When it came time to close the summer home for the winter, they noticed a small animal crawling out of the crawl space vent. Inspecting further, they noticed high humidity and moisture inside. With the vent now open, small creatures, hot summer air or cold winter air and water could easily get inside. 

They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems right away for a free estimate on Crawl Space Encapsulation. The team installed a Full Crawl Space System which included, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to prevent humidity and moisture from forming. WaterGuard was installed to prevent any water from entering inside. New Vent Covers were installed to seal off the crawl space, allowing it to stay clean, dry and healthy. A Crawl Space Sump Pump System known as a SmartSumpPump, was installed inside as well which has a built-in alarm system to notify the homeowner right away if it detects any water leaks.

The Homeowner was amazed at the transformation of their crawl space and relieved to know that it will now stay clean and dry during the months they are there and the months they are not. 

Homeowner Michael M. of Woodbridge was having some problems with water seeping into his unfinished basement along the bottom of the concrete walls.  He wanted to fix the problem once and for all, to prevent any future water damage.  He contacted Quality 1^st Basement Systems for a free inspection and estimate to remedy the problem.

Kenny Tramutola, basement waterproofing design specialist, traveled to Michael’s home and completed a thorough interior and exterior inspection of the basement.  He discussed his findings with the homeowner, addressed his concerns, and developed a solution designed to meet his needs.  A SuperSump Sump Pump working in conjunction with a full perimeter WaterGuard System was installed.  IceGuards and a LawnScape Outlet would round out the basement water protection.

The SuperSump Sump Pump is a powerful cast iron pump designed to efficiently move up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour out of the basement.  Installed in a sturdy liner on a pump stand, the sump pump will not clog due to sediment intrusion.  Additionally, an airtight lid will prevent other debris from getting into the hole and will also help quiet the system.  If the discharge line ever freezes in colder weather, the IceGuard will protect the home from water backing up into the basement.  The LawnScape Outlets discreetly disperse discharge water onto the lawn, away from the foundation of the home. 

Michael was happy to have the solution that would prevent water from pooling up on the basement floor and Quality 1^st Basement Systems was happy to help alleviate his worries!
