Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Beneath the surface, a troubling foundation settlement loomed large for this Pittsburgh, PA homeowner. Notice in the before photo how the visible instability threatened safety and peace of mind. Our Keystone Basement Systems team stepped in, embodying resilience and integrity. By installing state-of-the-art Helical Piers, we secured lasting stability, as evident in the after shot. The foundation is steady, property value and tranquility restored. It’s more than just a fixed foundation to us— it’s another promise fulfilled, strengthening our community with each well-defined step forward. Every project is a testament to the transformative power of intention and care.

Mr. Jeff Martello inspected the bowing foundation wall and it was determined the amount of movement was unacceptable and required medium-duty reinforcement.  CarbonArmor is an ideal product to permanently reinforce the bowed basement walls.  Foreman Austin Stone installed the straps and the customer was very satisfied. 

We used steel I-beams, the PowerBrace System, to permanently stabilize this customer's tilting foundation wall. 

The home had a major wall issue and was deflecting inward to a significant degree. Steel buttresses were used to permanently stop the movement. 

The home had a bowed foundation wall, but it was very subtle initially.  The homeowner was vigilant and called Keystone to inspect the foundation damage.  At the initial appointment it was not absolutely certain the wall was actively moving.  Moreover, the wall was bowed inward .5" at the time so it was still somewhat small.  That said, there is no amount of active inward movement is acceptable, so we needed to monitor the home with a crack monitors.  After the home was inspected by Brian McWhirter a second time, the monitor showed unequivocally that the wall was moving inward so a medium duty CarbonArmor reinforcement plan was instituted.  Austin Stone was the crew foreman who installed the reinforcement.  This permanently secured the wall in place and received a 25-year transferable warranty to NEVER move again.  The customer was extremely pleased and wrote a great review of the company and the people who worked on his project.
