Before & After Photos

In the top photo, you see a familiar sight: a dirt floor crawl space that was causing our Dartmouth, Nova Scotia homeowner a bit of a headache. Without proper sealing, moisture and all its pesky friends like mold and pests were making themselves comfortable. Fast forward to the bottom photo, and you’ll see how our CleanSpace® encapsulation has transformed this problematic space into a dry, secure part of the home. Our trusty team at Ridgeback Basement Systems replaced the worry with a strong, reliable barrier. No more moisture blues here!

When homeowner John in Dartmouth, NS, was warned his home's foundation was at risk due to water damage, leading to one corner sinking centimeters into despair, je turned to us.

Our CleanSpace liner now encases their foundation, with SilverGlo insulation enhancing stability and warmth. Not only did we lift his home's spirits but also fortified it for years to come. This is what Ridgeback Basement Systems excel at—delivering peace of mind by seamlessly marrying invaluable comfort with enduring support.

Before tackling this Musquodoboit Harbour home's crawl space, water intrusion and lack of proper encapsulation left it damp and vulnerable, as evident in the before photo. Our dedicated team at Ridgeback Basement Systems transformed this issue with our CleanSpace system. Notice in the after photo, the difference is clear: a dry, well-encapsulated space now stands capable of resisting moisture, ensuring a healthier, safer home environment. Our mission was to deliver peace of mind with a durable, high-quality solution, and we did just that, bringing our client's crawl space back to optimal condition.

In Belle River, PE, a homeowner faced the challenge of a rotting beam and degraded floor joists leading to potential structural damage. We provided a comprehensive solution using the SmartJack System to stabilize and lift the beams and floor joists. Our team reinforced the foundation using engineered materials for enhanced distribution of weight. Additionally, we utilized CleanSpace for crawl space encapsulation, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, included a reliable SuperSump system, and protected the sump pump with IceGuard. Notice the transformation from an unstable structure to a secure and dry foundation, ensuring long-term stability and protection.

In Upper Musquodoboit, the homeowner faced an unstable crawlspace with compromised foundation, joists, and beams.

As seen in the after photo, the SmartJack alleviates floor bounce by stabilizing beams, while the SaniDry Sedona controls moisture, preventing mold and dust. Meanwhile, the SmartPipe efficiently manages water drainage, providing a safe and healthy living environment for the home.
