Cracked, Bowing Wall Repair in Deptford, NJ

Windows not closing right? Doors that were level, but are now crooked? These are common symptoms related to serious foundation problems.

Before Quality 1st Basement Systems, this home in Deptford, NJ experienced the same issues. A wall crack like this is common when an area experiences a lot of rainfall or freezing temperatures. When it rains, the soil soaks up water like a sponge and expands. This makes the soil heavier and increases the amount of hydro-static pressure pushing against the wall.

The same goes for cold weather. When the temperature drops below freezing, the moisture in the soil freezes and expands the same way a water bottle would if left in the car during winter. If issues like this aren't corrected, the home's foundation has a greater chance of collapsing.

To fix this issue, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed our patented PowerBrace System. This system freezes the inward wall movement and even has the potential to return the wall to the original position over time. Thanks to Quality 1st Basement Systems, this home is structurally sound and safe! The homeowner's next step would be our Waterguard Perimeter Drainage System to protect against future seepage.
