The homeowner contacted Keystone Basement Systems because they had foundation cracks, basement water seepage and musty odors.  After reviewing our online reviews we can see that they contacted us from website via Google.

Inspector Darryl Butler was sent to the home to perform a foundation inspection and to determine what was causing the basement water seepage and foundation cracks.  The basement walls had many cracks and there was a pungent moldy odor.  Darryl designed a system to address these issue and accomplish all of the goals that the homeowner had.

In order to fix the water problem in this situation WaterGuard, French Drains, CleanSpace and a Drainage line were installed. 

The homeowner reached out to Angie's List knowing they could help her find a reputable company to make her basement dry. Keystone basement systems went out and established a great plan to help the homeowner with her problem. Chris Bailey, one of Keystone's best field inspectors, went out and spoke with the homeowner and did a full inspection to find the best route to go to help her. He came up with a plan using a TripleSafe Sump Pump, WaterGuard, a Sedona Dehumidifier, A discharge line along with a LawnScape Outlet, and BrightWall to make it look presentable while also helping to keep any new moisture out.

The homeowner reached out to Keystone Basement Systems to help them with walls that they had that were cracking. Keystone Basement Systems sent out field inspector Kelly Blackburn to evaluate the problem and come up with a professional plan to fix it. Kelly then established that the homeowners would need to have Power Braces installed with Top deck attachments. The homeowners agreed and Keystone then sent our foreman Jaun Pantojas and crew out there to do the job. Upon completion the house was safe again and the homeowners were extremally happy.    

After attending a local homeshow fair and speaking with one of our specialists about the problems they were facing, a New Cumberland, WV homeowner scheduled a free crawl space repair inspection. During the inspection, our specialist found signs of water damage to the crawl space walls and foundation. They provided the homeowner with an estimate to repair the damage and suggested preventative measures to keep the crawl space dry in the future. Our Field Inspector, Chris Bailey, recommended encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. He explained the encapsulation system installation process to the homeowner, who was eager to have our crew get started on their crawl space repair. After removing the wet and musty debris, we sealed the crawl space walls and open vents with SilverGlo insulation, and mechanically fastened CleanSpace vapor barrier to the piers and over the dirt floor. This created a dry, conditioned environment below the home, protecting it from moisture, pests, and other contaminants. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and thanked us for a job well done.

The property featured a venerable 125-year-old sandstone foundation exhibiting extensive water-induced degradation and erosion within the mortar joints. Compounded by the irregular shape and deterioration of the stones, the structural integrity of the foundation was compromised. To rectify this, our approach centered on implementing a multi-faceted restoration strategy aimed at fortifying the foundation against further deterioration.

Initially, we undertook the application of a reinforced mortar coating to bolster the structural integrity of the foundation and address existing damage within the mortar joints. This process involved meticulous attention to detail to ensure uniform coverage and adherence to industry standards.

Subsequently, we opted for the application of metal lath, strategically positioned to provide additional structural support and enhance the bonding interface between the substrate and subsequent coatings. This step served as a critical preparatory measure, facilitating the effective application of a cementitious coating in the subsequent phase of the restoration process.

Finally, a cementitious coating was meticulously applied, leveraging advanced application techniques to achieve a seamless and durable finish. This final layer served to encapsulate the foundation, providing enhanced protection against water infiltration and mitigating the risk of further erosion and degradation.

In summary, our comprehensive restoration approach, encompassing reinforced mortar application, metal lath installation, and cementitious coating, exemplifies our commitment to preserving and fortifying historic structures against the ravages of time and environmental factors.
