Cracked & Bowed Basement Walls

Keystone Foundation Service utilizes proven engineering methods to secure and stabilize deteriorating basement walls. What's more, the system works on any kind of basement wall - concrete block, poured concrete, or tile.

Until now, homeowners had few choices for repairing foundation walls. To rebuild a wall, workers jack up the house, excavate around the wall and build a new basement wall. This solution is expensive, time consuming, and destructive to landscaping. Not only that, the problem can recur if the wall is not properly rebuilt or if steps are not taken to correct the causes of the initial deterioration.

Keystone Foundation Service, however, offers a cost-effective alternative to rebuilding a foundation wall. Our patented system secures and stabilizes cracking, bowed, or buckling foundation walls.

This unique process uses anchoring plates and rods to stabilize the wall and counteract the hydrostatic pressure being exerted against the wall. By counteracting this pressure, the causes contributing to the deterioration are lessened. As far as installation is concerned, our technicians insert a steel anchor rod through the wall into the outside earth. A steel anchor is then attached to the rod through a vertical hole in the ground. Finally, a steel wall plate secures the rod to the inside basement wall and installation is complete!

Sinking Foundations/Cracked Walls/Leaning Chimneys

Keystone Foundation Service will repair and stabilize your sinking foundations and cracked walls. We will also repair and your level leaning chimney. Both problems can be resolved using our patented Steel Piering System.

Here's what we do to repair these problems:
First we attach to your home's footings a series of Foundation Pier anchoring brackets of heavy, industrial-strength steel.

Then high-pressure equipment hydraulically drives rugged steel piers down to solid bedrock or equal load-bearing strata (this reinforcement is done below ground-nothing is exposed).

Each pier is individually anchored and tested for successful loading-bearing.

Finally the weight of your home, anchored to the steel brackets, is carefully transferred from unstable soil to rock-solid piers so your home or commercial building is secure with the pier system permanently in place and hidden from view.

Best of all, the apparatus is placed underground and is thus hidden from view.
