Before & After Photos

This Easton, PA was facing the most extreme case of foundation failure: the cinderblock walls were shifting, crumbling, and separating from the home completely. This condition left the home unsupported which raised concerns for the homeowner in regards to the safety of their home. To address such a major failure in a home's foundation Quality 1st has a support solution that permanently shifts the home's weight load onto new, heavy-duty wall panels. The EverBrace Wall Restoration System is specifically designed for cases like this where brick, cinderblock, or stone foundations experience wall failure. Without any exterior disruption, EverBrace steel panels are installed on the interior of the compromised foundation wall and secured with steel beams. A specially designed foam is then injected behind the wall to fill the space and transfer the load from the failing wall to the new EverBrace system. This system is a powerful and permanent solution to the worst cases of foundation failure and will guarantee this home the support it needs!

A Blue Bell, PA homeowner noticed serious horizontal cracks in their basement walls. One of the walls was beginning to bow inward, concerning the homeowner that their was serious threat to the structure of their home. Foundation Specialist, Greg, inspected the foundation and recommended our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System to stabilize the walls. This system will not effect the process of finishing this basement in the future if the homeowner decide to create extra living space! 

Large horizontal cracks formed on the walls of this unfinished basement located in Warrington, PA.  They feared this was a sign of settlement with the home's foundation, so they contacted us for a free estimate. Foundation Design Specialist, Mike, could tell the cracks were due to the force of hydrostatic pressure on the opposite side of the wall. To secure the walls in place, he recommended the CarbonArmor Reinforcement System. Since the installation, the homeowner's peace of mind has been restored. 

Frustrated by worsening cracks in their basement walls, a homeowner in Warrington, PA knew it was time to take action. The likely culprit? Ongoing moisture intrusion that had been silently compromising their foundation. Seeking a permanent fix, they reached out to Quality 1st. Our team conducted a detailed inspection and developed a custom solution designed to stop the damage at its source and restore long-term stability.

We installed our patented FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System, a proven method that flexes with foundation movement while creating a watertight seal over the affected area. To further safeguard the basement, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, a freeze-proof solution that prevents water backup even in the coldest weather. Together, these systems delivered comprehensive protection, halting the wall damage and eliminating future water intrusion. With their basement now fully protected, the homeowner can rest easy, knowing their investment is safe and structurally sound.

In Philadelphia, PA, a homeowner was facing serious structural concerns after discovering spreading wall cracks and sagging floors in their basement. The root of the issue stemmed from shifting soil and moisture intrusion beneath the foundation, two common yet damaging forces that can cause long-term instability. As the support beams in the basement grew increasingly compromised, the homeowner realized the problem was beyond a quick fix and turned to Quality 1st for a permanent, professional solution.

After a detailed inspection of the basement's structural integrity, our team designed a customized repair plan centered around the installation of our patented SmartJack Support System. These heavy-duty steel supports were strategically placed beneath the weakened beams to lift and stabilize the floor above. Engineered for long-term durability, the SmartJack system immediately reinforced the failing structure and protected it against future settlement.

With the installation complete, the basement was fully restored to a safe and secure condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a renewed sense of pride in the strength and stability of their home!
