The main level of this Feasterville Trevose, PA home was sinking, so the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. As a solution, we installed the SmartJack Crawl Space System to help support the floors. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other floor issues in their home.
A homeowner in Glen Gardner, New Jersey reported their walls bowing inwards and cracking. This is a major sign of foundation issues and can happen because the soil around the home's foundation settles and becomes saturated. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection of the home. He suggested they install a strap support system to bring the wall to its original position. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System which is carbon fiber straps that are stronger than steel. The Carbon Armor Straps provide the ultimate stabilization to the wall and are placed on the wall with a high-strength epoxy resin. There are brackets above the system that allow the straps to be adjusted to bring the wall towards the original position.
To fix this bowing wall, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor on the foundation wall. CarbonArmor is ten times stronger than steel and prevents walls from bowing inward. Now this Warren county, NJ foundation is much safer and the homeowner no longer worries about his basement walls.
A Delran, NJ homeowner noticed the first level of their home was sagging. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and scheduled an appointment for an estimate. We provided an inspection of the home and knew the SmartJack Crawl Space Reinforcement System would be the best solution. Each SmartJack is installed against the floor joist and beam to provide additional support. This system can gradually bring the floor back towards its original level.
A homeowner in Delran, NJ expressed concern about noticeable sagging in their floors attributed to inadequate foundation support. The crawl space was trying to bear the weight of the home with DIY support posts made of wood, which were vulnerable to rotting and bowing. Acknowledging the structural weaknesses and potential for further damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for assistance.
The solution to the foundation issue involved the installation of our SmartJack System. SmartJacks, constructed from galvanized steel, are securely attached to the home's floor joists with a robust steel base. These adjustable support posts are tailored to meet the specific needs of the home and provide a permanent remedy for a weak foundation. With the SmartJacks installed, the home now benefits from a stable and strong foundation, restoring the previously sagging floors to a level position.
