Crawlspace Repair and Waterproofing- Kentville, NS

In Kentville, Nova Scotia, a homeowner faced persistent issues with moisture and structural concerns in their crawl space. Notice in the photo the damp, moldy conditions affecting both integrity and indoor air quality. We addressed this by installing our CleanSpace encapsulation to enhance moisture management, a SuperSump to ensure efficient water removal, and an IceGuard system for all-weather drainage reliability. The SaniDry Sedona was used to maintain a healthy humidity level, and SmartJack resolved structural instability. As demonstrated, Ridgeback Basement Systems delivered a comprehensive solution for lasting basement improvement.

Foundation Repair- Upper Vaughn, NS

In Upper Vaughn, Nova Scotia, this cottage was experiencing uneven flooring, a typical issue with older homes resting on concrete pier foundations. Noticed in the before photo, the house's flooring had several uneven spots due to potential pier settlement over time. Ridgeback Basement Systems solved this problem by installing the SmartJack® System. As seen in the after photo, the galvanized steel columns and heavy-duty threaded rods restored integrity, lifting and stabilizing the floors. This reliable solution ensures the floors remain level, addressing foundational concerns and enhancing stability within the home.

In the before photo, the home's foundation revealed troubling cracks, and the crawl space lacked necessary support, calling for our expertise in Summerside, PE. Our knowledgeable professionals assessed the situation and expertly implemented the PowerBrace™ System for stable foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams, custom-fitted and tightly secured, prevent inward wall movement and can even amend wall failure. In the crawl space, the SmartJack® System was installed to effectively stabilize floor joists and minimize floor bounce, successfully returning balance and integrity to the home's structure. Thanks to these solutions, the homeowner’s foundation concerns are expertly addressed.
