The basement walls had significant inward movement and cracking which was very concerning for the homeowner. They called Keystone who was able to diagnose and fix the home.

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.”
