Before & After Photos

Before reaching out to us, the homeowner in Pittsburgh, PA, grappled with an unstable basement wall, a common yet nerve-wracking issue. Notice in the before photo how the integrity of the wall was compromised. After assessing the situation, our team at Keystone Basement Systems recommended the installation of PowerBrace – a reliable and lasting solution for such foundational concerns. The after photo proudly showcases a reinforced, stable wall, bringing peace of mind back to the homeowner. Through our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience, we were able to transform worry into relief, ensuring their home remains safe and sound for years to come.

This customer called us because they thought they had a slightly bowed wall situation but they did not realize it had progressed as much as it did. If you look closely at the first picture, you will notice that they have aggressive bottom shear which is an end stage warning sign before wall collapse. Fortunately, KBS has well trained inspectors like Chris Bailey who noticed this problem right away and knew that the EverBrace solution would be the perfect option to avoid the costly and highly disruptive process of rebuilding the foundation. 

THE EVERBRACE WALL RESTORATION SYSTEM from Foundation Supportworks® permanently stabilizes even the most extreme failing foundation walls and protects against future damage. The EverBrace system offers a strong, durable and affordable solution for failing, deteriorating, bowed or cracked foundation walls. Steel corrugated panels span between steel I-beams to strengthen the existing structure. A specialized rigid foam is injected behind the steel panels, filling voids between the existing wall and panels, transferring the load from the failing wall to the new support system.

Our expert crew of Juan Pantojas and Scott Booth were able to do a great job of installing the EverBrace system and were able to give that WOW experience for this customer!
