Before & After Photos

A Ridgewood, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a foundation solution. The homeowner was interested in providing extra support for their floors, so our crew installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. SmartJacks provide additional support to the floor joist prevent sagging to the first floor. 

A Ridgewood, NJ homeowner was interested in installing a moisture vapor barrier in their crawl space. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to schedule an appointment to meet with one of our specialists. Our  CleanSpace Moisture Barrier, stops moisture from passing through the foundation, therefore, making it the best solution for this homeowner's concern. Our team installed it on the walls and floor of the crawl space sealing it off from the elements of the earth.  Peace of mind was restored to the homeowner once their crawl space was encapsulated. 

This Manasquan foundation was compromised due to a large tree against the home. After the tree was removed, Quality 1st Basement Systems repaired the foundation cracks and bowing walls with CarbonArmor with the ArmorLock system which will stop any inward movement at the top of the wall as well, further keeping this home safe and stable!

A homeowner in Seaside Park, NJ noticed their floors were sagging, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to find a solution. Our System Design Specialist arrive to the home, on time, and provided a full inspection and quote for the homeowner. After providing their full inspection, our system design specialist knew our SmartJack System would be the perfect solution. SmartJacks are installed against the sagging beam to provide additonal support. This system is adjustable and so over time the beams can be brought back towards their original level. 

A homeowner in Seaside Park, New Jersey noticed the floors in their home were sagging, their walls were cracking, and the main beams in the crawl space were unsound. These are all the symptoms of foundation settlement. When a crawl space is built, block columns could be spaced too far apart, which can lead to overloading and sagging between the columns. Weak soil can also cause the existing columns to sink or settle, which creates a gap between the top of the column and the bottom of the girder it was supporting. This can pose as a safety issue not only to the homeowner, but to the home as well.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement System and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to help them come up with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested steel support system to help stabilize the foundation. Our foremen installed the SmartJack System, which do not replace the existing columns, but they help to bring strength and stability to the foundation. This process is done by assembling the steel beams into the soil. The support beams and floor joists are immediately stabilized and the above floors and walls will be lifted and stabilized. The support system is engineered to support large homes and load-bearing wall construction.
