Before & After Photos

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.

One of the walls was beginning to bow inward, concerning the homeowner that their was serious threat to the structure of their home. Foundation Specialist, Greg, inspected the foundation and recommended our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System to stabilize the walls. This system will not effect the process of finishing this basement in the future if the homeowner decide to create extra living space! 

As time passed, this Bridgeton, NJ homeowner began to observe concerning changes in their basement walls, visible cracking and inward bowing that signaled structural stress. Recognizing that these issues could worsen if left unaddressed, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional evaluation.

Our inspection revealed that prolonged moisture exposure and natural soil pressure had contributed to the wall movement and foundation settlement. To ensure a lasting repair, our specialists designed a dynamic solution featuring our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System and SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, both engineered to stabilize and protect the home’s foundation.

The CarbonArmor System utilizes high-strength, carbon fiber straps that are bonded to the interior wall surface, providing exceptional reinforcement without the need for extensive excavation. This advanced technology helps prevent further bowing while restoring structural integrity. To address the underlying moisture issues, the team also installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, designed to efficiently remove water and keep the basement dry year-round. Together, these solutions created a stable, dry, and secure basement environment  giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing their foundation was protected for the long term!
