Solving Your Basement & Foundation Problems In Jefferson County, OH

This homeowner found Keystone Basement Systems online and called them for an appointment. The problem he was having was one in need of a professional, not the diy type. Keystone promptly sent out one of their field inspectors to meet with him and then go over the problem area with a very careful eye and proper measurements and tests. The field inspector noticed the water just pooling in this basement as soon as he entered the downstairs. He knew that this house needed a internal drainage system as well as a sump pump with a service port. The homeowner was both impressed and thrilled with the field inspector and the process of the project, but especially happy with the results as his basement is now dry once again. 

These homeowners called Keystone Basement Systems after meeting with Candie at the home show and learning that they do the concrete lifting, they had some concrete that needed to be lifted in their driveway, the water from the rains over the years had washed out underneath and it was sinking. Keystone sent out expert concrete field inspector Tim to meet with them and go over the issue at hand. The field inspector saw the problem as soon as he pulled up to the house and so he had already known the solution was to lift the driveway concrete with the poly inject as well as sealing the driveway and lastly remove the hedge from the side which helps to create the problem with its roots. 

This homeowner called and scheduled an appointment with Keystone Basement Systems because they bought a house with moisture issues in the basement. Keystone then sent out expert field inspector Nick to meet with them and then to perform an inspection of the said problem area. The field inspector knew right away that this was going to need to be a great pal as this was a halfway finished basement and the homeowners wanted to completely finish it. The field inspector then conducted his inspection and came up with the plan to install 2 Triple Safe sump pumps but also WaterGuard around the entire basement and then a buried discharge line. The plan also consisted of a speedy drain in the extra space cold room as well as a Sedona dehumidifier. The plan was all explained to the homeowner and once the field inspector knew they understood and was in agreeance he then returned to the office and got this project on the installation schedule.

The garage foundation wall of a home in Steubenville, OH was cracking and bowing. After a thorough assessment, it was decided the most effective solution to permanently stabilize the wall was to install our EverBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. Our system is made up of a galvanized steel bracket, a steel I-beam, and a galvanized tie-plate. These components work together to stabilize the wall and prevent further cracking. The homeowner was very pleased with the results.

The structural configuration of the residence featured a walkout back area adjacent to the garage, characterized by an elevated floor profile above ground level. This architectural design facilitated outward bowing of the wall. While conventional rebuilding remained a viable option, the implementation of Reverse GeoLock Anchors proved to be a cost-effective alternative, representing merely one-tenth of the expenditure associated with reconstruction, while delivering commendable results. Opting for the utilization of manufacturer channel fragments as outer plates further enhanced wall stabilization, particularly beneficial for brick compositions. GeoLock® Wall Anchors are engineered to rectify various wall deformities, including inward sliding, top tilting, bowing, and buckling. Crafted from galvanized steel, these anchors ensure durable, long-term solutions, thwarting any further inward displacement of the walls. Functionally, they extend from the wall to the stable, compacted soil beyond the property, anchoring securely into these robust soil strata to brace the foundation wall, thereby impeding further movement. Installation of wall anchors is executed with minimal disruption to the landscape and without causing interior damage or encroaching upon usable space. Moreover, GeoLock® Wall Anchors can be discreetly concealed using our Hide-A-Way® covers, ensuring a polished, unobtrusive aesthetic finish.
