Before & After Photos

Due to high moisture levels in the basement, SmartJack Support Posts were installed to replace failing, rusting jacks. 

Facing a challenging situation in Rochester, PA, a homeowner discovered their garage wall cracking and bowing— a concerning hurdle, especially since they were planning to sell their house. As seen in the before photo, the severity of the issue was undeniable. Responding with expertise, our team at Keystone Basement Systems addressed this problem head-on using the PowerBrace system. Notice in the after photo how dramatically the wall has been stabilized, showcasing our commitment to providing not just a repair but a true transformation. Our solution isn’t just a quick fix; it's about ensuring peace of mind and helping make homes market-ready with lasting reliability.

The deck posts had rotted and needed replaced. Concrete sonotubes were used so that the base of the posts would no longer rot. Additionally, the concrete sonotubes where recessed deep in the ground to abate future movement from freeze / thaw.

The house had structural damage to the front of it. Keystone Basement Systems used 8 CarbonArmor straps to insure the safety of this home. 

A result of soil expansion, this customer's foundation wall was unable to support the pressure, leading to cracking and bowing. In order to permanently stabilize and secure the wall, the CarbonArmor System was the most effective and ideal solution. In this system, fiber-reinforced straps are cured with high-strength epoxy to permanently adhere to the foundation wall, and braced at floor joists with steel brackets. The straps are 10x stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour against the wall itself.
