Before & After Photos

Faultiness in a home's foundation wall is a daunting issue to face for any homeowner. The basement in this Island Heights, NJ home was experiencing the beginning stages of bowing in its foundation walls. Carrying on without repairing a bowing wall poses a great threat to the structure of a home, where damages can become much more severe, and eventually irreversible. Luckily, our team at Quality 1st can provide a solution that prevents foundation walls from bowing any further. Our System Design Specialist Anthony was able to give this home a proper inspection to recommend the best solution to the shifting foundation. Our crew and Foreman, Heriberto, then came to the home to carry out the installation of our Carbon Armor Wall Reinforcing System. Our Carbon Armor strips are ten times stronger than steel and are bonded to the interior walls. This gives a flexible but sturdy solution to the bowing or cracking of foundation walls, and leaves homeowners very happy with the non-invasive results!

When basements are prone to water leaking, it is no secret that with heavy rains comes heavier seepage. In areas with unpredictable rainfall and heavy storms, home structures and sump pump systems aren't always able to keep up with the volume. The homeowner of this Island Heights, NJ home was experiencing an overwhelming presence of unwanted water leaking into their basement through the walls and the floor. To ensure a way to prevent this from happening any longer, our team at Quality 1st was able to install the systems necessary to relieve this basement of further water damage. Our WaterGuard Floor Drain was installed by our crew around the perimeter of the basement to provide a passage for the water to flow through. Our crew also installed a new sump pump system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, the ultimate solution to heavy water volume in basements. With three pumps, this new sump pump paired with our perimeter drain provided the homeowner with the peace of mind of knowing their basement is now equipped with the best possible water protection. 

In Island Heights, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us with concerns about their partially finished basement taking on water during heavy rains. Water had been seeping through both the floors and walls, threatening to damage their space and potentially any stored items or furnishings they had in place. We recommended the installation of our CarbonArmor, WaterGuard, and TripleSafe Sump Pump systems. Our experienced production team moved efficiently to install these reliable systems. CarbonArmor, with its carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, was secured to the basement walls for non-invasive stabilization, ensuring no further inward movement or leaning at the top. Beneath the surface, we set up the WaterGuard, positioned strategically on top of the footing to catch water seeping through before it reached the floor or walls, and directed it towards the sump pump. For added security against flooding, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system, designed with three pumps, ensures continuous protection even during power outages or high water levels, safeguarding against potential pump failures.

We installed the CleanSpace Liner, drainage matting, and Silver Glo insulation at this Montvale residence.

Most homes are built with a construction grade sump pump, which means most homes do not come equipped with a sump pump that will actually work when it is most needed. This Montvale, NJ home faced the same circumstances. Each time it rained, they would get water in the basement. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a basement waterproofing system which will work with the TripleSafe sump pump that was installed. TripleSafe sump pumps have three different pumps that will work no matter how much the basement is flooding. TripleSafe even has a battery backup which gives this homeowner the peace of mind knowing that her sump pump will not fail even if her home loses power!
