Before & After Photos

This Lake Hiawatha, NJ, homeowner was facing significant foundation settlement concerns in their crawl space due to persistent water seepage. The moisture was causing the floors above to sag, creating an uncomfortable living environment with musty odors, mold growth, and uneven flooring. Worried about the long-term effects on the structural integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help.

After assessing the situation, our team identified the root causes: poor drainage, water infiltration, and inadequate vapor protection. We recommended a dynamic solution to address these issues and restore the crawl space’s health. Our crew began the restoration by installing our patented Drainage Matting, which allowed any trapped water to flow freely away from the foundation, preventing further moisture buildup. Next, we covered the entire crawl space floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, effectively sealing out moisture and creating an airtight barrier to eliminate humidity and musty odors. To address the foundation settlement, we installed our SmartJack Reinforcement System, lifting and stabilizing the sagging floors.

The combination of these solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, stable, and healthy environment, protecting the homeowner’s foundation and ensuring peace of mind for years to come!

A homeowner in Little Egg Harbor, was concerned with their foundation after noticing it had started showing signs of settlement. Entering the crawl space you could see interior and exterior cracking in the block foundation. When System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini , provided a full inspection, right away he could tell the homes foundation had moved and needed additional support. 

Joe recommended PushPiers be installed to support and stabilize the home. Foreman, Jonathan and his team installed 11 PushPiers along the foundation to prevent future settlement. 

The homeowner was converting their basement space into a living space for a relative moving into the home. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed an Egress Window in this Summit, NJ home to bring the basement bedroom up to code. Now these homeowners can rest assured that in case of emergency, there is an additional exit from the basement.
