Before & After Photos

In Pedricktown, NJ, a homeowner became concerned about the growing cracks and bowing conditions along their basement walls, which were threatening the structural integrity of their home.

After contacting Quality 1st, our team recommended the installation of our heavy-duty CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, a high-strength solution designed to stabilize and repair foundation walls. The system involved applying durable carbon fiber strips to the affected areas, which effectively prevented further movement and eliminated the cracks.

As a result, the homeowner was able to restore the stability of their basement, ensuring a safe and secure foundation for years to come!

Overtime homeowner in Broomall, PA grew increasingly concerned as foundation settlement around their garage led to visible wall and floor cracks, signaling a progressive structural issue. Seeking a reliable, long-term fix, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

During our inspection, we identified soil displacement and persistent moisture exposure as the main contributors to the settlement. With this understanding, we designed a customized repair plan that not only addressed the structural concerns but also targeted the environmental factors that were causing the problem.

To restore stability and prevent future deterioration, our team installed multiple integrated solutions. We began by adding a TrenchDrain System to improve water management and direct moisture away from the foundation. PolyLevel Foam Injections were then used to lift and level the settled concrete slabs, followed by the application of NexusPro Joint Sealant to protect vulnerable joints from water intrusion. Finally, we installed our trusted Push Piers to reinforce the foundation at a deeper, more stable level. With these systems working together, the garage was fully stabilized and equipped with long-lasting protection against future structural issues!

This homeowner from Bridgeport, NJ had some beams in their crawl space that were in need of support. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended SmartJacks to install under sagging beams.

SmartJacks are constructed from galvanized corrosion-resistant steel and can be adjusted to the height of the homeowner's crawl space. Each post has a load bearing capacity of over 60,000 pounds.

The homeowner now had peace of mind that their crawl space was properly supported. 

A Conshohocken, PA homeowner noticed large cracks forming next to this window of their basement wall. They decided to contact Quality 1st Basement Systems to meet with a Foundation Specialist to inspect and provide recommendations on repair. System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, inspected the foundation walls throughout the entire the basement and knew the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the best repair solution. Carbon Armor is designed to stabilize bowing foundation walls. The system is ten times stronger than steel, preventing the walls from bowing further. 

In Ardmore, PA, a homeowner noticed signs of foundation settlement in their crawl space, including uneven floors and noticeable structural instability. Concerned that the issue would worsen over time and damage their home further, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended the installation of the patented SmartJack Reinforcement System, designed to provide strong, adjustable support to the sagging crawl space beams. The system was carefully installed, stabilizing the foundation and lifting the beams back to their proper position.

As a result, the homeowner’s crawl space was restored to a stable, healthy, and inviting environment, ensuring long-term protection against further settlement issues.
