A Stronghold in Fort Hill, PA

Challenge

In the peaceful community of Fort Hill, PA, a homeowner faced a persistent and stressful issue: water intrusion in their basement. Despite efforts to manage it, moisture continued to seep in, threatening the integrity of the home and the homeowner’s peace of mind. Given the area's vulnerability to flooding—especially from the Casselman River, which has historically impacted the Fort Hill Road Bridge—this was more than a nuisance. It was a growing concern in a region where climate change is expected to increase flood risks, as seen with nearby events like the High Point Dam leak and flooding in neighboring Fountain Hill.

Solution

Keystone Basement Systems responded with a tailored, durable waterproofing strategy. After a thorough inspection, our team installed two industry-leading solutions:

• WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System – discreetly placed below the basement floor, this innovative channeling system captures incoming water before it reaches the surface and directs it safely away.

• TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System – a powerhouse protection system with three pumps working in harmony to handle everything from routine moisture to power-outage emergencies.

Together, these systems created a dry, secure, and flood-resilient basement—restoring not only the homeowner’s space but also their sense of safety. The transformation turned a potential hazard into a reliable, usable area that will stand strong even in Fort Hill’s challenging weather conditions.
