Before & After Photos

This Somerset, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering their basement wall was developing horizontal cracks. We were able to resolve the problem by installing our Carbon Armor Straps, which stabilizes the foundation wall. Each strap is placed against the foundation with a strong epoxy to ensure the foundation wall will not move or bow inward in the future. 

A Somerville, New Jersey homeowner noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We installed the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System to stabilize the walls and prevent them from bowing inwards. After the installation, the walls were stabilized and the homeowner was happy with the work done by Quality 1st!

We recently assisted this Branchburg, NJ, homeowner who was increasingly concerned about the bowing walls in their basement, fearing that foundation settlement was causing structural instability. The walls had begun to show visible signs of stress, creating cracks and further bowing over time, which left the homeowner anxious about the long-term effects on their home.

After contacting Quality 1st Basement Systems, a thorough inspection revealed that the pressure from the surrounding soil was the primary culprit behind the bowing walls. The team recommended installing our specially patented CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, which uses high-strength carbon fiber straps to stabilize and reinforce the walls. The installation process was quick and non-invasive, requiring no excavation, and the carbon fiber system provided a permanent solution to the problem.

With our CarbonArmor system in place, the homeowner’s basement was fully restored to a dry, stable, and pleasant condition, eliminating the risks associated with foundation settlement and providing lasting peace of mind!
