Ridgeback Basement Systems Before & After Photos

 This home, located in a small town just minutes away from Halifax, had an addition that was quiet literally on its last leg. 

Ridgeback Basement Systems received a call from this homeowner who was interested in having us take a look at the addition portion of his home that was installed prior to him buying there. 

Upon arrival, it was clear that they were in need of immediate supports put in. There was only one beam holding up this addition and it began to separate from the home. Jake, the system design specialist on this appointment, knew that SmartJacks were a must to alleviate the pressure off the sole beam in there and disperse the weight throughout the entire area. 

Our production team installed SmartJacks with a galvanized supplemental beam. Not only is the home now supported, but the homeowners aren't in fear that their home is going to fall beneath them. 

The customer had attempted to lay his own plastic down in his crawlspace, but ultimately did not work as he was hoping. He contacted Ridgeback for a solution that would work- and we delivered. 

This homeowner was experiencing major water seepage on the walls. Effloresce, which is the white, stain like marks on the wall is a sign that there has been water coming into the basement for a long period of time. 

This customers crawlspace was wet, dirty and was in need of a makeover. With the installation of CleanSpace encapsulation and TripleSafe pump the space was dry, clean and much more accessible.  

The hydrostatic pressure was becoming too much on This homeowner attempted to resolve the water issues by installing a french drain on the the outside of the home, but unfortunately it was not a long lasting solution. Thankfully Ridgeback had a permanent solution to tackle the water issues.
