This Atlantic Highlands basement had serious foundation cracks on the walls, with some bowing inward. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems who sent System Design Specialist, Mike Jersey out to inspect the problem. Upon inspection, Mike found several horizontal and staircase cracks which are major signs of foundation settlement. The Q1 team installed a PowerBrace Wall Reinforcement System to permanently stabilize the foundation. This will prevent further bowing of the walls and provide future support to the foundation.
Over the years, as your home faces the wear and tear of weather and settlement, the foundation supporting your home's structure can weaken. For this Dumont, NJ home, our Quality 1st team was called in to reinforce the foundation and prevent water damage from continuing to threaten the home. To do so, we encapsulated the home's crawl space with our CleanSpace and Drainage Matting vapor barrier system. The walls were also insulated with our SilverGlo Insulation Panels. To reinforce the home, SmartJacks were installed beneath the home. These galvanized steel beams are completely adjustable, providing a permanent foundation support system for the home. These additions to the crawl space will keep the home, and all those living inside, safe and supported!
