Keystone Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Before calling us, the homeowner in North Apollo, PA, dealt with the all-too-common headache of water in their basement, a situation you can see in the first photo where dampness invited unwelcome gloom. Upon our inspection, we knew our SuperSump and WaterGuard systems were the perfect solution. Notice in the after photo how the space is transformed—dry and inviting, proving our commitment to not just meet but exceed expectations by delivering remarkable and lasting dryness.

The home has a stone foundation that was severely distressed from age related water damage that was neglected for many decades. Actually, for at least a generation according to the home owner. The gutters and downspouts were in disrepair, which caused the water to accumulate against the foundation and caused a lot of wear and tear. Once the house passed hands the new owner wanted to fix the issue. The structural and water damage were tremendous, but this is exactly where EverBrace excels. The home was fixed in two days and it is safe, dry and under warranty.

In the crawlspace, the foundation walls were surrounded by bare soil, lacking vital support. This unchecked soil carried the weight of the home, resulting in serious repercussions. The lateral pressure from the soil, along with water seepage, caused the exposed earth to collapse, posing a threat to the foundation's integrity. To address this, EverBrace was skillfully used to contain and stabilize the soil. Notably, this intervention not only resolved immediate issues but also came with a warranty to prevent future movement, mitigating potential problems. Additionally, the clay soil prevalent in the area worsened the situation, as its susceptibility to moisture-induced weakening compromised its ability to bear the weight of the structure above.

Before tackling this Cadogan, PA basement, relentless water intrusion was a persistent issue, leading the homeowner straight to our doorstep. As you can see in the 'Before' photo, the ineffective draining was no match for the challenge at hand. However, after the installation of our robust WaterGuard system, complemented by a strategically placed Discharge/Downspout Line and a LawnScape Outlet, the transformation astounds. Notice in the 'After' photo how we've turned what was a concern into a solution, fully catering to our mission of providing an enduring and exceptional service experience.

In this application we installed CleanSpace wall membrane to divert water into a below floor system. We then rough cast the walls to match the basement aesthetic.
