Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Trenton, NJ became aware of cracks in their walls which signaled foundation settlement and weakness. Recognizing the risk of progressing foundation failure, the homeowner called in Quality 1st's crew to offer a repair solution. The answer to the home's problems was our SmartJack Reinforcement System. Piers made of galvanized steel are stabilized through the foundation floor and attached to the floor joists above. These piers are adjustable, meaning they are a permanent solution for compromised foundation problems in any home. This simple addition to the space reinforces and stabilizes the home's foundation, putting any concerns the homeowner had to rest.

CarbonArmor is strong than concrete and ten times stronger than steel! It is specifically designed for basement walls. CarbonArmor will hug the basement walls preventing further bowing.

We recommended our Crawl Space Reinforcing System to provide a solution for the sagging crawl space beams in the area underneath this home. The SmartJacks provide additional support to each crawl space beams and floor joist. They are adjusted yearly to gradually bring the beams back toward their original level and prevent future sagging. 

The owner of this home met with an engineer who told her that she had foundation problems in her home. Her neighbor is a real estate agent, and has worked with Quality 1st Basement Systems during numerous buyer/seller transactions and recommended the team right away. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor wall locks to secure the foundation and make this home safe again!

This homeowner in the Skillman, NJ noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards. They were concerned for the integrity of their foundation and wanted an opinion from a foundation specialist. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent Foundation Specialist Mike, to inspect the basement walls and provide a solution. Upon inspection, Mike noticed the horizontal cracking was a major sign of foundation movement which happens as temperatures outside change. Our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System stabilizes the basement wall and prevents future movement. CarbonArmor, is the perfect solution because once installed, they are a permanent fix. This system will not effect the option of finishing the basement in the future if the family decides!
