Wet Basement for 15-Years

After inspecting the clients home for water penetration, it was determined that the foundation drainage had failed long ago.  The client had owned the house for 15-years and it had leaked the whole time.  The owner tried multiple attempts to fix the issue.  he had the yard regraded, gutters and downspouts updated and even dug external drainage himself!  Finally, after the basement took on an inch of water, he decided to have the issue fixed by a professional.  He called Keystone Basement Systems.

Inspector Brian McWhirter determined that WaterGuard would give an ideal result and installed the system in 1-day.  The homeowner was pleased and even wrote a kind online review.

Connellsville, PA resident Francine was nervous about the state of several of her basement walls. Already having a waterproofing system that was installed incorrectly and now has failed has led to areas of her walls that had become riddled with large cracks and had begun to bow inward slightly, This damage made Francine worry that, if left unaddressed, they might collapse. she wanted to have the problem taken care of quickly and professionally, so she called Keystone Basement Systems.

In order to secure the damaged walls, field inspector Nick designed a system that removed the inferior waterproofing system, installed a new system that took into consideration her exposed footer, used CarbonArmor to stop any additional movement in the walls, and finally encapsulated it all with CleanSpace. Foreman Chris and his crew went straight to work installing these products cleanly and efficiently. The TripleSafe sump pump contains three pumps. One main pump and two back up to ensure the sump pump is operating even when the power goes out.  Our CarbonArmoer wall reinforcement product. Lastly, the CleanSpace, a vapor barrier encapsulation system that ensures no water or mold builds up on the walls. Now this homeowner has peace of mind that her home will be safe and dry for years to come!

This Hopwood, PA resident was tired of dealing with water in his basement every time it rained.    There were also large cracks in the foundation walls because they had begun to bow slightly.  Water would come in through the cracks in the walls, and the basement always seemed to be wet.  The resident wanted to get the problem solved so he could use his unfinished basement for storage. WaterGuard is an effective way to permanently waterproof any basement.  It is installed on top of the footing rather than beside it, so it does not become clogged with the dirt and debris from below.  The WaterGuard piping system collects any wall seepage and carries it to the sump pump, where it will be pumped out and away from the home.

The TripleSafe sump pump is a reliable three-pump system.  If the first pump fails, the second pump takes over.  If pump 1 can’t keep up with the amount of incoming water, both pumps 1 and 2 work to get the job done.  If power is lost, a third battery operated pump automatically turns on.  It also has a WaterWatch alarm system that sounds off when the water rises above the operating range of the pumps, warning the resident before any damage can occur.

All of these products worked together to keep the homeowner’s basement dry all the time.

This Business owner had called in because he bought a property that had 3 sump pumps on them and one had an alarm that was going off and he didn't know what to do.

With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!

For a Farmington, WV homeowner with a wet basement issue, one of our expert field inspectors provided a free basement waterproofing inspection. The inspector provided a comprehensive analysis of the home's foundation and basement walls, as well as a detailed report with recommendations for addressing the issue.

The wall of the garage was made of stone and neglected. It collapsed. We fixed the whole thing. 

The home had downspout leader lines that conducted water to the street that were crushed. The water would back up and flood the basement.

These new buried downspout lines would be far superior to the old ones. The owner was impressed and gave us a nice review.

When a homeowner in Vanderbilt, PA, noticed water seeping into their basement and a worrying growth of mold on the walls, they knew it was time to seek professional help. That's when we at Keystone Basement System stepped in, ready to provide a reliable solution and peace of mind. Upon contacting us, our caring Customer Care team promptly set up a home inspection appointment to understand the depth of the problem. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough examination of the basement, accurately diagnosing the issues at hand. It was clear that to successfully combat the water intrusion and mold growth, a robust solution was required. We recommended the installation of our premium WaterGuard system in combination with the SuperSump pump - two of our most effective solutions for basement waterproofing and moisture control. Our WaterGuard system is designed to intercept water entry around the perimeter of the basement, funneling it away before it can cause damage. The SuperSump pump complements this system perfectly by efficiently pumping out the collected water, keeping the basement dry and mold-free.

At Keystone Basement Systems, we recently helped a homeowner in Dunbar, PA, turn their cold and damp crawlspace into a dry, energy-efficient area. The homeowner noticed that the crawlspace under their home was not only chilly but also retained a lot of moisture, which can lead to bigger problems like mold and structural damage. Knowing the potential risks, they reached out to us for a dependable solution. Our approach began with a thorough inspection by one of our skilled System Design Specialists. After evaluating the crawlspace, we recommended installing CleanSpace and SilverGlo to address the cold and moisture issues. CleanSpace is a durable, moisture-proof lining that seals off the earth from the crawlspace, preventing moisture from passing through.

Our production team, consisting of a foreman and experienced installers, got to work, carefully installing both products to ensure a snug, professional fit. The job required attention to detail and precision to make sure every inch of the crawlspace was covered and insulated. After the installation, the difference was clear.
