Restoring Stability to a 1930 Home in New Galilee, PA
Challenge
In the heart of New Galilee, PA—a small town with deep roots and a quiet historical charm—a homeowner was confronted with an alarming sight. Built in 1930, their home had stood the test of time, but now its basement walls were showing their age. Cracks had formed and worsened, and sections of the walls were beginning to bow and crumble under pressure. These weren’t mere cosmetic concerns; the structural integrity of the home was at risk, and with it, the homeowner's peace of mind. The basement, once a space of utility and storage, now felt like a liability. Fearing the worst and hoping for the best, the homeowner reached out to Keystone Basement Systems in search of a permanent, trustworthy solution.
Solution
Our journey began with a prompt response from our Customer Care Specialist, followed by a thorough inspection from one of our experienced System Design Specialists. With decades of expertise behind him, he crafted a solution tailored to the unique demands of the home’s age and condition: the EverBrace™ and PowerBrace™ Wall Repair Systems. Soon after, our dedicated production team got to work. The EverBrace system brought robust steel panels into play, effectively transferring weight from the compromised walls to a new support structure. At the same time, our PowerBrace system added anchored steel beams to hold the walls securely in place. Together, these systems offered the best of both worlds—restoration and reinforcement. By the time the work was completed, the basement was no longer a point of stress but a source of stability and pride. With the foundation now fortified for the future, the homeowner could once again breathe easy in their 1930s home, where history and modern strength now coexist—thanks to Keystone Basement Systems.
