Before & After Photos

A Freehold, NJ homeowner was growing concerned about visible cracking and bowing in their basement wall. These signs were warnings of the home's foundation weakening, which directly threatened the safety of their living space. They decided to call in our team from Quality 1st to stabilize their home and provide a lasting solution. Our crew installed our flexible CarbonArmor Straps to prevent the wall from moving. These straps are bonded to the foundation walls with a strong epoxy resin to ensure the wall will not buckle any longer due to hydrostatic pressure. Our team's installation completely reinforced and stabilized the home, restoring its safety and comfortability for the homeowner to live in.

The owner of this Woodbridge home was in the process of selling his home when his real estate agent pointed out horizontal and stair step cracks in the basement. Foundation issues like these get worse over time and can reduce property value. The realtor recommended the seller to Quality 1st Basement Systems for the foundation repair. The installation team installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the walls. The repair was completed in one day, and the seller no longer has to worry about a stable foundation and being able to sell his home.

This homeowner in Millburn, New Jersey noticed their basement wall was bowing inwards. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, and our System Design Specialist Joe Hubbard provided an inspection and suggested they use a wall reinforcement system. Our crew installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System, which is made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall and secured with heavy-duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position. The homeowner was happy with the results and they did not have to worry about their foundation walls!

Don't let your home's foundation cause irreversible damage! Saturated soil surrounding the foundation of a home creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes inward. Over time, this pressure can force foundation walls to crack, bow, and, in severe cases, completely buckle and collapse beneath the home. In the case of this Millburn, NJ home, the foundation wall was suffering from serious bowing, putting the structural integrity of the home on the line. 

Quality 1st's team was able to provide the home a reliable and reinforcing solution. We used our Helical Push Pier System to restore the foundation's strength and provide an opportunity to lift it back in place. These steel piers are installed on the exterior of the home and are screwed into stronger soil underground, securing the weight load of your home onto the new piers. Our crew then restores the excavated soil back so the supporting system is completely hidden from view.

A Hewitt, NJ homeowner noticed stair-step cracks forming on the outside of their home's foundation. They immediately contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. They needed to address the cracks and ensure their foundation was stable so they met with our Foundation Specialist, Javier. We know that when a foundation starts to move and settle, cracks form which is the main indicator.  Our crew installed the Helical Pier System to stabilize the foundation and prevent it from settling further.
