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.

As demonstrated, Ridgeback Basement Systems delivered a comprehensive solution for lasting basement improvement.
