Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Faced with the worrisome discovery of stair-step cracks in their garage, a homeowner in Canonsburg, PA, knew they had a significant problem on their hands. As you can see in the before photo, these unsettling signs of foundation distress were hard to miss. Fortunately, our team at Keystone Basement Systems was ready to turn things around. Using our trusted Carbon Armor technology, showcased in the after photo, we effectively stabilized the foundation. Notice the seamless integration of our solutions, providing not just an aesthetically pleasing result, but more importantly, a strong, secure foundation for years to come. We're proud to deliver on our promise of a remarkable experience and lasting solutions for every homeowner we serve.

The CarbonArmor system permanently stabilizes your home’s foundation walls. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive, and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.  In this picture a sill plate was rotted and larger anchors were needed to bite into good wood. This was done for free for the client as part of the transferable warranty.

Proper CarbonArmor installation requires certification and continuing education.  Keystone Basement Systems belongs to the Supportworks network which provides this training and certification to ensure the public that only the best installation practices are being followed.  

In the photo from a recent project in McMurray, PA, notice evidence of a common problem: basement wall cracks compromising the stability of the home. In addressing these foundation repair issues, we applied our CarbonArmor system. Now, as showcased in the after photo, these basement walls stand strong with carbon fiber-strapped reinforcements, soothing homeowners' worries. By choosing Keystone Basement Systems, this family opted for a permanent, reliable solution—one anchored in integrity and precision. Together, we turned concern into confidence by taking deliberate steps toward a more stable home.

Our crew installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to permanently stabilize this customers bowing concrete block walls in their garage. 

In this home the front porch pad was starting to decay and required additional reinforcement. The spalling was moderate and it was decided to add EverBrace to assist with the structural reinforcement and to support the underbelly of the concrete pad.
