Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Aliquippa, PA, a homeowner faced foundation settlement that threatened their home's safety and structurability. Notice in the before photo how the integrity of the foundation was compromised. Turning to us, Keystone Basement Systems intervened with PowerBrace and Helical Pier installations, as seen in the after photo. These state-of-the-art solutions immediately provided the structural support needed, promising a secure and long-lasting foundation. This transformation underlines our mission to deliver exceptional service and enduring home repairs.

If you have issues with bowing, buckling, or cracked foundation walls, Keystone Basement Systems has the solutions you need to stabilize your home's foundation! The PowerBrace Wall Repair System is the ideal way to stabilize failing foundation walls. If you have walls that are bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards, installing a PowerBrace system can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall.

A result of soil expansion, this customer's foundation wall was unable to support the pressure, leading to cracking and bowing. In order to permanently stabilize and secure the wall, the CarbonArmor System was the most effective and ideal solution. In this system, fiber-reinforced straps are cured with high-strength epoxy to permanently adhere to the foundation wall, and braced at floor joists with steel brackets. The straps are 10x stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour against the wall itself.  

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.
