Residential Crawl Space & Basement Repair in Armstrong County, PA

This church needed a external french drain installed. They knew exactly who to call, Keystone Basement Systems. They chose to call them because one of the members of the church had work done one their basement and couldn't have been happier. Keystone sent out one of the best field inspectors to meet with the pastor and go over the issue before conducting his very detailed inspection of the problem area. The pastor said he felt more at ease knowing that keystone was on the project and that he couldn't wait for it to get done, because the basement was getting wet and the church stored items down there that he didn't want to get ruined. Keystone quickly got to work with the measurements and testing that had to be done to ensure the external french drain was properly installed. The field inspector also suggested that a sump pump be installed in the basement as a back up to the drainage system. The field inspector then sat down with the pastor once again and explained the results of his inspection and the plan that he came up with. The plan involved not only the drainage system and sump pump but also new downspouts and down spout connectors. The pastor understood everything and was thrilled to have it all done, seeing as how this was going to save his items in the basement and make his parishioners very happy. 

We were contacted by this Yatesboro, PA homeowner to provide a free basement waterproofing inspection and estimate. The homeowner was concerned about water seeping in through the basement walls and wanted to make sure that the structure of the home was not in danger of being compromised due to water damage. During a thorough inspection, it was discovered that there were cracks at the wall/floor joint where water was seeping through. For a permanent solution, we recommended the installation of our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier system to stop water from leaking through the walls, WaterGuard interior drainage system to collect water from the walls and floor, the TripleSafe sump pump to remove the collected water out of the home, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity levels low and eliminate musty odors.   

A Worthington, PA homeowner had a water intrusion problem in their dirt basement. With our free waterproofing repair estimate, we quickly identified the problem and recommended a permanent solution.

An Adrian, PA homeowner was seeking a permanent solution for a water issue in their basement. The homeowner had a persistent problem of seepage and leakage in the basement, leading to the formation of puddles and humidity. The water issue caused damage to the flooring, stored items, and posed a safety hazard as well. Our solution to solve this problem for good was to install our WaterGuard Interior Perimeter Drainage System, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, a wall vapor barrier system, and the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

The WaterGuard Interior Perimeter Drainage System collects and guides water towards the TripleSafe Sump Pump, preventing the accumulation of water in the basement. The TripleSafe Sump Pump then ensures the reliable and energy-efficient removal of water away from the home. The wall vapor barrier system prevents moisture from seeping through the walls, while the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier reduces humidity and prevents the growth of mold and mildew.

In the home situated within Templeton, Pennsylvania, a recurrent issue manifested in the form of a downspout misdirecting water against the abode's exterior. Over an extended period, the soils beneath the rear-left corner gradually subsided due to consistent moisture exposure. Consequently, fissures emerged in the foundation, indicative of structural compromise.

Regrettably, despite receiving an initial estimate from Keystone Basement Systems, Inc., the homeowner opted to postpone remedial action for a duration spanning seven months. During this period, observable deterioration necessitated an expansion in the scope of repairs to mitigate the escalating damage.

Upon eventual acknowledgement of the situation's severity, the homeowner engaged Keystone's services to address the compromised foundation. The adjustment in repair strategy corresponded to the heightened exigency of the situation, accommodating the accrued deterioration observed over the intervening period.

Thus, through collaborative efforts between the homeowner and Keystone Basement Systems, Inc., interventions were initiated to rectify the structural impairments, underscoring the criticality of timely action in preserving the integrity of residential foundations.

The residence exhibited deteriorated terracotta buried downspout leader lines, resulting in their collapse and subsequent inefficacy.

A new line spanning a distance of 50 feet from the property was meticulously laid out. The culmination of this endeavor was marked by the integration of a lawnscape outlet, thereby ensuring proper drainage and mitigation of water-related concerns.
