Before & After Photos

After enduring weeks of heavy rainfall, a Philadelphia, PA homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement, sagging support beams, uneven floors, and a growing sense of instability. Concerned that these were signs of foundation settlement, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted an extensive inspection and confirmed that water-saturated soil around the home had caused the foundation to shift, compromising the structural support within the basement.

To resolve the issue, we designed a targeted repair plan that addressed both the cause and the damage. We installed our RainChute Downspout Extension to direct rainwater away from the foundation, reducing soil saturation and preventing further settlement. To restore stability inside the home, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System beneath the weakened beams, precisely adjusting each jack to lift and reinforce the floor structure.

With the new systems in place, the basement is now fully stabilized, and the homeowner can enjoy renewed confidence in the safety and longevity of their home!

This basement had a lot of obstacles and a low ceiling. But we can still make it look nice. With size doors, painted ceiling, and insulated thermal flooring, we can transform a basement into a beautiful dry, and useable space.

At this row home property, we installed our SuperSump pump system with a Zoeller M63 cast iron pump. This will include an airtight lid with flood drain, a CleanPump stand and a WaterWatch alarm system to indicate power loss, breaker trip or if water rises above the level intake. The SuperSump is installed at the lowest part of the basement and is surrounded by our WaterGuard sub-flooring drainage system that lies under the CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier. Our CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier catches any wall leakage or moisture coming from the cement foundation, having it flow down to the WaterGuard and into the SuperSump pump. 

This Philadelphia homeowner reached out to us for basement waterproofing and structural repair. This portion of the project showcased is the structural repair.

One section of this customer's home had sagging floors and felt like the area had movement. After further investigation, it was discovered that this particular portion of the home did not have the support it needed to withstand the weight of everyday traffic from above. Our solution is Smart Jacks with SmartJack Supplemental Beams! 

In this partially finished home in the corner of the basement, water is intruding during heavy rain. In order for us to capture the water coming into the home, we dug out a trench between the wall and the floor to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drain system. Once the drain is installed, we place our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along the perimeter that's meant to capture any wall leakage coming through, which then flows down to the sub-floor drain. By having these products, your space is safe from water damage and will remain dry.
