A customer contacted our office looking for a professional opinion about a tilting foundation wall in a home they were looking to purchase. We provided a free inspection and recommendation to recommend them professionally. As a result of soil expansion outside of the home, the foundation wall could no longer support the pressure from the expansion. As a result, the wall was pushed in. To solve the problem, the recommendation was to use the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. 

The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's clever, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without invasive drilling or digging on the property.

A homeowner in West Sunbury, PA contacted our office looking for more information about our high-quality sump pump systems. After hearing their concerns, we recommended the installation of the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to collect water at the source of entry and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to safely remove it from the home. We explained that with the TripleSafe Sump Pump system, it offers 3 levels of protection to keep their home dry. Even in the event of a power outage, the TripleSafe ensures water in their basement would never be a problem again. 

The home boasts a stone foundation that had endured severe distress from age-related water damage, which had been neglected for many decades – in fact, at least a generation, as attested by the homeowner. The gutters and downspouts were in disrepair, leading to water accumulation against the foundation and significant wear and tear. However, upon changing ownership, the new owner was determined to address the issue. Despite the tremendous structural and water damage, this is precisely where EverBrace shines. Within a mere two days, the home underwent comprehensive repairs, rendering it safe, dry, and covered by warranty.

The garage was collapsing because the soil weight and water from off the flat roof. The wall was reinforced using recessed 6” steel I-Beam buttresses and the3 exterior soil load was replaced with angular 2B limestone gravel, which exerts less let lateral weight onto the wall. 

The initial condition of the home's crawlspace, lacking proper encapsulation, led to an environment conducive to high humidity levels. As moisture accumulated, it permeated the surrounding wooden floor supports, initiating a process of deterioration. Over time, this moisture-induced damage resulted in the weakening of the wood, ultimately causing the floor to sag.

The presence of rot and termite infestation further exacerbated the situation, necessitating the replacement of the affected wooden components. Despite the remedial action taken, the issue of excessive span persisted, manifesting in continued instances of sagging and bounce within the floor structure.

To address these structural deficiencies comprehensively, Keystone Basement Systems devised a multifaceted solution. Central to this approach was the installation of supplemental support mechanisms designed to elevate the floor platform to an optimal profile. Additionally, measures were implemented to halve the distance over which the wooden joists spanned.

The implementation of supplemental steel support beams, positioned perpendicular to the joists at strategic intervals along their span, played a pivotal role in mitigating structural weaknesses. These beams were meticulously supported by SmartJacks, strategically placed atop concrete footings to ensure optimal load distribution and support.

By reducing the span of the wooden joists by half, the structural integrity and stability of the floor were significantly enhanced. This reduction in span effectively minimized the occurrence of sagging and bounce, promoting a more robust and durable floor structure overall.

Through meticulous planning, precise engineering, and expert installation techniques, Keystone Basement Systems successfully optimized the support system within the crawlspace. The result was a floor structure characterized by unparalleled stability, strength, and longevity, ensuring the continued safety and comfort of the dwelling's occupants.
