Foundation Repair- Alberton PE
Challenge
A homeowner in Alberton, PEI recently reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems through our Customer Care Specialist. They were interested in purchasing a property but were concerned about visible stair-step cracking within the cinderblocks of the home's foundation wall. These issues are often early signs of wall failure, which can lead to more significant structural problems if not addressed promptly. Our systematic approach began with scheduling a thorough home inspection.
Solution
Our knowledgeable System Design Specialist conducted a comprehensive evaluation, diagnosing the root of the foundation problem. After identifying the severity of the wall failure, we recommended the PowerBrace™ System as the optimal solution. Our production team, led by a skilled foreman, arrived on site to implement the solution. The PowerBrace™ System involves zinc-plated steel beams that are custom-fitted to the basement's height. These beams were then meticulously anchored using brackets secured to the basement floor and the home's first-floor framing. This setup ensures a tight fit against the wall, providing essential stabilization without requiring disruptive drilling or digging. The installation required precise execution and attention to detail. Our crew ensured that each component was positioned correctly and firmly fixed in place. As a result, the home's cinderblock foundation received much-needed reinforcement. The patented design also allows for future adjustments, potentially reversing wall damage over time to prevent any further movement. Upon completion, the homeowner was relieved and appreciative of our professionalism, experiencing firsthand our commitment to remarkable customer service and durable, reliable solutions. Ridgeback Basement Systems eliminated their concerns, enabling them to proceed confidently with their home purchase.
