Before & After Photos

Have you observed any bowing or horizontal cracks in your foundation walls? These may indicate that your home is not receiving adequate support from the foundation, which could lead to further weakening over time. This was the situation for a residence in Manalapan, NJ, where we implemented a foundation support system. We used our CarbonArmor Straps to provide a permanent solution for the compromised foundation. CarbonArmor is a flexible carbon fiber strap that is securely bonded to walls using a robust epoxy resin, ensuring a permanent installation. With this solution in place, the home will maintain the necessary support from its foundation.

Looking to buy a new house, a prospective Fairfeld homeowner was told by her inspector that the property had weak footing. Concerned about her basement walls bowing and damaging the rest of the house, she called Quality 1st Basement Systems to fix her basement walls. The CarbonArmor reinforcement system is a low-profile repair solution to cracked and bowing basement walls. CarbonArmor is installed from the inside of the home with high-strength epoxy resin that absorbs pressure from the wall. After installation, CarbonArmor can be concealed with a coat of paint, so it is the perfect solution to homeowners concerned about their basement appearance. Now this home is safe for purchase and has strengthened walls that will last.

After a homeowner began noticing the floors on their first floor were sagging they contacted their local experts, Quality 1st Basement Systems to get an estimate on sagging floor repair. We sent Foundation Specialist, Jack Huber, out to inspect the floors and the basement beams to ensure there was enough support. 

Upon inspection he realized the sagging floors were due to lack of support to the basement beams and floor joist. He recommended our SmartJack Stabilizer System to provide the support the beams needed. Each SmartJack is installed underneath the sagging beam and properly adjusted to allow gradual movement back towards its original position. 

A Ringwood, New Jersey homeowner noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System to stabilize the walls and prevent them from bowing further. Next, we removed the old existing sump pump system and replaced it with our WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump pump. Now that this basement has a full perimeter system and our Wall Reinforcement System, this Basement is 100 percent protected! 

Pompton Lakes, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after noticing their garage walls started bowing inwards. They were concerns that over time this would cause serious foundation issues and so they needed a system that would stabilize the walls. Foundation Repair Specialist, Mike Fiorillo, recommended our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System.  The system is installed with steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with a strong steel bracket. A benefit of this system is the adjustability to tighten each brace need be.
