Before & After Photos

SmartJack installation in a basement at Roselle Park, NJ. The SmartJack System was installed to stabilize a sagging floor.

The walls of this garage in Essex Fells, NJ home were developing cracks, so the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. System Design Specialist, Frank, provided a full inspection of the garage and indicated the home was undergoing early stages of foundation settlement. As a solution, Frank recommended the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System, which stabilizes the walls and prevents them from cracking. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other foundation issues in their home.

After noticing the floors on the first level of their home had began to sag, this Caldwell, NJ resident contacted Quality 1st Basements System for a free inspection. Upon inspection, System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, noticed signs of moisture and dampness which had started to effect the wood and beams in this crawl space. He recommended our SmartJack System to stabilize the floor joist and beams, protecting the structure from further settlement. The installation was completed by our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, and his team. As a result, the homeowner now had peace of mind that their floor was stabilized. 

A homeowner in Caldwell, New Jersey was looking to support their crawl space. A crawl space might need support for many issues. One of the main issues to look out for would be sagging or bouncing floors. Since crawl spaces are often unsealed from the Earth, moisture and humidity is a problem. When the wood is exposed to this, it begins to rot, mold, and become weak. This means, the floor joists are unable to continue supporting the weight of the home. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, provided an inspection of the home. Joe suggested they install a steel support system to be placed in the crawl space. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed The Smart Jack System. This is done by digging two feet of soil where the SmartJacks will be placed. The SmartJacks are assembled and then connected to the support beam, and the system is tightened in place. The support beam and floor joists are stabilized and leveled. These steel support systems do not replace the existing columns and piers, but add strength and stability to what is there.

A Forked River, NJ homeowner knew there was a problem with their home when they noticed the floors had begun to sag. They hadn't been down in their crawl space in some time and therefore called Quality 1st Basement Systems to do a full inspection and provide a solution.

Our Systems Design Specialist, Jack Huber, visited the homeowner and did a full inspection of the crawl space. He noticed the crawl space beams below were sagging and needed additional support to the beams. Jack suggested installing the 3-ft SmartJack System.

Our foreman, Jonathan, Niera, and his crew got to work and installed the SmartJack System. Each SmartJack is installed to the beam to provide additional support. Since the system is adjustable, it allows for the beams to gradually move back towards original position.
