Ridgeback Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In the "before" photo from Springhill, NB, you can see large cracks in the back wall of the basement, leading to significant water leakage issues for the homeowner. To address this problem, Ridgeback Basement Systems implemented our comprehensive solution. We installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to lock out moisture and controlled potential fungus and mold build-up. Additionally, our IceGuard path ensured reliable sump pump discharge, overcoming freezing conditions, while the powerful SuperSump efficiently pumped away the excess water, preventing future flooding and keeping the basement dry and secure.

In Springhill, NS, a homeowner faced repeated basement flooding due to a leaky foundation each time it rained, as visible in the before photo. At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we effectively addressed this persistent issue by installing our state-of-the-art WaterGuard drainage system, combined with the SuperSump pump and reliable IceGuard discharge line. As seen in the after photo, these solutions work harmoniously to ensure a dry basement year-round, preventing water accumulation on floors and maintaining the structural integrity of the home with long-lasting peace of mind.

In Springhill, NS, this homeowner dealt with frequent leaks through a crack in their basement foundation whenever it rained. A temporary fix had previously been applied using masonry sealant, which failed. We implemented the FlexiSpan® system, addressing the problem thoroughly. Starting with a flexible sealant along the crack's length, followed by a porous foam strip, and finally, a secure impermeable membrane, we offered a reliable solution. Our effective strategy ensures any future seeping is directed into the drainage system, providing peace of mind against moisture issues.

In Tyne Valley, PE, a concerned homeowner called us after discovering a large crack in their foundation wall. In the before photo, the inward bending and separation are clearly seen, posing structural risks. Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems expertly installed the PowerBrace™ System, visible in the after photo. This system features zinc-plated steel beams custom-fitted to the basement height. They are securely anchored to both the basement floor and first-floor framing. This provides permanent stabilization, prevents further movement, and eliminates the threat of foundation wall failure.
