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.

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. The home flooded in the winter, so an emergency repair was needed. The old lines were dug up and shown to be crushed. New lines were installed, and new schedule 40 lines installed. These new buried downspout lines would be far superior to the old ones. The owner was impressed and gave us a nice review.
