Before & After Photos

Faced with the challenge of water seeping in at the wall/floor joint, our team at Keystone Basement Systems stepped in to deliver a steadfast solution to this Pittsburgh homeowner's worries. The installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump, showcased in the after photo, marks a pivotal transformation. This powerful system not only eradicated the water intrusion but also safeguarded the basement against future incidents, providing the homeowner with true peace of mind.

Before, a Pittsburgh homeowner faced the common dread of water intrusion at the wall/floor joint of their garage— a problem seen frequently in the region.  Thanks to Keystone Basement Systems' expert installation of WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, this basement is now dry and fortified. The WaterGuard system provided a permanent resolution, ensuring peace of mind and securing the home's foundation. Through our dedicated approach, we’re not just fixing basements; we’re safeguarding families’ futures.

To prevent water from seeping into this basement from under the door, we installed our TrenchDrain Surface Drainage System. The TrenchDrain system is a lightweight, prefabricated trench drain that is designed to quickly and efficiently collect water from under the door and is directed to the sump pump to be drained out of the home. 

Before, this Pittsburgh basement was a victim of constant water intrusion, damaging walls as shown. Our rescue operation? Installing WaterGuard for efficient drainage, TripleSafe Sump Pump and UltraSump System for unbeatable water evacuation, wrapped up with CleanSpace wall protection. The 'after' photo beams with the success—now, a pristine, moisture-proof basement ready for any weather, showcasing our commitment to remarkable solutions and lasting home safety.

Sump pump discharge lines can freeze, especially in the northern regions. Pipe terminations can become covered with snow and ice in the winter. This can spell disaster for your basement if the sump pump water cannot exit the line outside. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing the sump pump to keep your basement dry.
