The owners of this home in Johnstown did some research and found that their crawl space might have been the culprit of their Not only was air quality concern, but the floors above the crawl space were always cold, too.
Our crew got right to work. Adding a CleanSpace liner was fixed to the walls and floor. This liner is incredibly durable and seals off the space keeping moisture and outside air from entering the crawl space. Antimicrobial additives in CleanSpace also prevent mold growth.
The final step to address the air quality concern was to place a Sedona dehumidifier in the crawl space. This dehumidifier is energy efficient, and works to rid the air of moisture. The moisture collected from the air drains automatically so it never has to be emptied manually. Keeping the air clean and dry in the crawl space ensures that the air moving up to the rest of the home is healthy.
The client had a garage with a crack. We came out in 2022 to install a crack monitor to determine if the crack was from old movement that had abated or if it was active movement. After quarterly updates from the homeowner we decided to come out and make a final determination.
n that visit it was obvious that the crack was moving because the garage wall was settling. Therefore, reinforcement was added under the garage wall to permanently stabilize the structure.
For several years, the residence endured the discomfort of chilly floors exacerbated by the presence of moisture during winter months, a consequence of condensation. This predicament arose from the open-air nature of the crawlspace, which lacked proper encapsulation. Compounding the issue, the crawlspace suffered from excess moisture, which evaporated into the atmosphere, settling upon the wooden joists as air currents facilitated upward movement—a phenomenon commonly referred to as the "stack effect." Consequently, the floors remained cold, leading to the onset of dry rot, ultimately resulting in structural failure and the collapse of the floor platform. The gravity of the situation necessitated a comprehensive replacement of the entire first floor, coupled with the imperative encapsulation of the crawlspace to mitigate further damage.
Within the confines of the crawlspace, the foundational walls were made with bare earth, lacking the necessary structural long term support. The unchecked movement of the soil from water migration through it reduced the earths ability to bear the burden of the residence's weight overhead, leading to detrimental consequences. The lateral pressure exerted by the soil, compounded by water infiltration, precipitated the collapse of the exposed earth, jeopardizing the integrity of the foundation. To remedy this precarious situation, EverBrace—a robust solution designed to confine and stabilize the earth—was expertly employed. Notably, the application of EverBrace not only rectified the immediate concerns but also garnered a comprehensive warranty safeguarding against any prospective movement, thereby preempting potential issues. The prevailing clay soil composition in this locale further exacerbated the predicament, as its susceptibility to moisture-induced weakening compromised its ability to sustain the compressive load imposed by the structure above.
This home exhibited a sinking rear left corner, prompting concerns regarding its structural integrity. Subsequent investigation revealed that the underlying soil lacked the necessary bearing capacity, succumbing to the weight of the structure over time. As a result, the foundation walls, constructed of cement masonry units, began to settle, manifesting in noticeable stair-step and vertical cracks. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the homeowner engaged Keystone for a thorough assessment.
Utilizing laser levels, our team pinpointed the precise location of the subsidence, confirming a significant 2-inch drop. To rectify the issue, Supportworks Push Piers were expertly installed, successfully restoring the structure to its original position and mitigating further deterioration. The homeowner expressed profound satisfaction, remarking, "I can't believe you fixed my house! You put it right back in place."
The basement walls bore unsightly stains, a visible testament to the persistent water damage that plagued the home. The homeowner, disheartened by the unsightly appearance, sought a remedy for this longstanding issue. Recognizing the need to tackle the root cause, a comprehensive waterproofing solution was implemented, featuring the installation of WaterGuard alongside a TripleSafe pump to effectively manage the underlying water intrusion problem.
Following the successful mitigation of water infiltration, a transformative step was taken to revitalize the aesthetic appeal of the basement. A sophisticated CleanSpace wall membrane was expertly installed, serving a dual purpose: not only did it intercept any residual moisture seepage from the walls, but it also bestowed a fresh and immaculate appearance upon the once-blighted surfaces. Through this holistic approach, the basement was not only safeguarded against future water damage but also rejuvenated to exude a sense of cleanliness and renewed vibrancy.
Structural Reinforcement and Moisture Control Solutions for Distressed Wooden Beams in Basements
This process presents a comprehensive approach for addressing distressed wooden beams in basement structures. Focused on mitigating sagging beams and associated floor deficiencies, the proposed methodology integrates structural reinforcement techniques with advanced moisture control measures to ensure long-term stability and durability. Key components include lifting the beam, incorporating heavy steel channels beneath the wood, installing oversized posts with enlarged footers for load-bearing support, and integrating a Sedona Basement Air Machine to regulate moisture levels. By synergistically combining these strategies, homeowners can effectively address existing structural issues and safeguard against future deterioration caused by moisture ingress.
Distressed wooden beams in basement environments can lead to a cascade of structural issues, including sagging floors and compromised load-bearing capacity. Recognizing the critical importance of addressing these concerns promptly, this process of correction presents a multi-faceted approach to reinforce compromised beams while concurrently implementing measures to manage moisture levels. By tackling both structural deficiencies and environmental factors contributing to degradation, homeowners can achieve a comprehensive solution for preserving the integrity of their basement structures.
The core of the proposed methodology revolves around structural reinforcement techniques aimed at stabilizing distressed wooden beams and rectifying associated floor discrepancies. This involves:
1. Elevating the sagging beam to its original position through hydraulic lifting mechanisms.

The integration of a Sedona Basement Air Machine serves as a proactive measure to regulate humidity levels and prevent moisture-related damage to structural components and furnishings. This entails:
Implementing an advanced air purification system designed specifically for basement environments to extract excess moisture from the air and maintain optimal humidity levels.
Regular inspection and maintenance of the Sedona system to ensure continuous and effective moisture control, thereby safeguarding against potential structural decay and mold growth.
By combining structural reinforcement techniques with proactive moisture control strategies, homeowners can effectively address distressed wooden beams in their basements while mitigating the risk of future deterioration. This comprehensive approach not only rectifies existing structural issues but also ensures long-term stability and durability, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the entire basement structure.

His expertise led to a thoughtful recommendation: the application of our trusted PolyLevel® and NexusPro solutions. Our production team arrived on site, embodying our core values of punctuality and care. With precision and purpose, they drilled pea-sized holes into the slabs before injecting the PolyLevel® high-strength polyurethane foam beneath. This pioneering foam worked its magic, expanding to lift and stabilize the concrete sections seamlessly. Once the slabs were no longer burdened by unevenness, we turned to the powerful NexusPro® Joint Sealant. Carefully applied, this sealant secured the joints against water infiltration while retaining an unyielding clarity. Within a short period, the team transformed the property’s concrete surfaces, meticulously restoring them to their intended state. Through small, intentional actions, we greatly improved the home’s safety and aesthetic appeal, providing peace of mind that only exceptional craftsmanship can deliver. Keystone Basement Systems doesn’t just repair; we uplift communities, one slab at a time.
