From Flooded to Fortified in Hooversville, PA

Challenge

Hooversville, located in Somerset County near the Allegheny Plateau, is no stranger to extreme weather patterns. The region sees significant rainfall and snowfall, especially during transitional seasons. These conditions often lead to excess groundwater pressure, putting area basements at high risk of flooding. Such was the case for one concerned Hooversville homeowner, who reached out to Keystone Basement Systems for help with persistent basement water intrusion. This wasn’t just about puddles or damp corners—it was about protecting their home's foundation, air quality, and long-term value. They needed a lasting fix—and they needed a contractor they could trust. That’s where we came in.

Solution

From the first call with our Customer Care Specialist, the homeowner’s experience was placed front and center. Our System Design Specialist—known for a meticulous eye—conducted a full inspection of the basement. Our goal: to uncover the root cause and deliver a tailored, effective solution.

The inspection revealed the need for a comprehensive waterproofing system. We proposed a three-pronged approach:

1. WaterGuard® Sub-Floor Drainage System
   Designed to capture water at its point of entry, WaterGuard was installed around the interior perimeter to discreetly channel seepage away from the basement walls and floor.

2. TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System
   With three pumps in one—including a battery backup—the TripleSafe offers unmatched protection against flooding during storms, power outages, and mechanical failure. It’s built for peace of mind, no matter the weather.

3. SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier
   Quiet yet powerful, this system now keeps the basement air dry and clean, reducing humidity levels, preventing mold growth, and improving the overall indoor air quality for the homeowner and their family.

Our production team worked efficiently and respectfully, ensuring every detail was handled with care. The result? A total transformation. The basement went from damp and unpredictable to dry, healthy, and ready for use.
