Before & After Photos

A Monroe, NJ homeowner was interested in adding extra floor support beams in their crawl space, so they contracted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. We immediately knew the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System would be the best solution. The system is made from galvanized steel, so it will never rust, and it will provide extra support and stabilize the floors. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other crawl space issues in their home.

A homeowner from Monroe, NJ looking to make their home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round turned their attention to the basement and crawlspace, where poor insulation was leading to drafts and high energy bills. To tackle the issue, they chose to install SilverGlo, a high-performance insulation solution.

SilverGlo panels, made with graphite-infused expanded polystyrene, were installed along the walls to create a continuous thermal barrier. Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, SilverGlo won’t absorb moisture, sag, or lose its insulating power over time. The result was a noticeably warmer, more efficient living space and lower heating and cooling costs. With SilverGlo, the homeowner gained comfort, savings, and lasting protection against the elements.

In Monroe Township, NJ, a concerned homeowner reached out to us after experiencing a persistently wet basement. They were worried about potential damage and couldn't use the space effectively. Our production team sprang into action, starting with the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system. The team skillfully placed the WaterGuard around the basement’s perimeter. This system works by capturing wall and floor seepage before it surfaces, channeling it directly to the sump pump, offering a robust, long-term drainage method. Next, we set up the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This has a vital role: effortless management of water, maintaining the basement’s dryness even when facing power outages due to its built-in UltraSump battery-powered backup pump. Finally, to put concerns at ease regarding potential lingering moisture or related damage, we lined the basement walls with our CleanSpace system. This tough vapor barrier not only keeps out moisture but also mitigates any mold or mildew issues, creating a clean environment.

This homeowner from Monroe, NJ noticed sinking and settling of their front walkway concrete. They called Quality 1st Basements for a solution and one of our System Design Specialists recommended PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete. The PolyLevel foam is injected underneath each slab to restore the slabs back to their original position without replacing the concrete. Finally, the cracks were sealed with NexusPro sealant to protect the restored concrete from moisture and UV rays. The homeowner can now enjoy their new walkway without worrying about trip hazards. 

When a Monroe Township, NJ homeowner noticed that dampness in their basement was becoming more frequent and widespread, they realized the issue posed a growing risk to their home’s structure and air quality. What had once seemed like occasional moisture quickly escalated into a persistent water intrusion problem, raising concerns about mold development and long-term deterioration. Determined to protect their home, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a reliable and lasting solution.

Our team conducted a full inspection of the basement and identified the severity of the moisture infiltration, allowing us to design a dynamic waterproofing plan tailored to the property’s needs. The system included our WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, CleanSpace Wall Panels, IceGuard Discharge Line, EverLast Wall Panels, and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, each component working together to capture, redirect, and manage water effectively.

With these advanced systems in place, the basement is now fully protected against future moisture issues, giving the homeowner complete confidence and long-term peace of mind knowing their home is secure and dry!
