In Johnstown, PA, a homeowner faced a cold, grimy crawl space that was compromising their home's comfort—and their peace of mind. The space had a failing wall, as shown in the 'before' photo, making structural stability a serious concern. Our team at Keystone Basement Systems stepped in to transform this space with precision and care. We installed EverBrace and PowerBrace to stabilize the wall, SilverGlo™ for improved insulation, TerraBlock® for added protection, and CleanSpace® Drainage Matting for effective moisture control. With CleanSpace lining, the crawl space was restored into a dry, stable, and pleasant environment. Notice in the 'after' photo how pride—and safety—was brought back to the home’s foundation, illustrating our dedication to quality solutions.

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.”

This dirt walled crawlspace suffered the inevitable collapse that comes from unconstrained dirt soil under load bearing walls. EverBrace was used to permanently reinforce the earth.
