Ridgeback Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

In Tyne Valley, PE, we addressed a homeowner's concern with a significant foundation wall crack. Before our intervention, as seen in the before photo, the crawl space suffered from moisture issues impacting the foundation's integrity. Utilizing our advanced CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, we effectively solved the problem. The after photo reflects the transformation to a cleaner, dryer, and structurally secure space. CleanSpace® prevents moisture migration, mitigates mold growth, and enhances air quality. With these quality solutions, we ensure long-term durability and efficiency for every project.

Facing a troubled foundation in Bass River, Nova Scotia, a homeowner called Ridgeback Basement Systems when their rock wall foundation started bowing in. As you can see in the before photo, the challenge was significant, but our solution was effective. We utilized the EverBrace Wall Restoration system, designed to permanently stabilize severely failing walls. This system deploys steel corrugated panels and specialized rigid foam to transfer the load away from the deteriorating wall, as seen in the transformation captured in the after photo. Now, their foundation is well-secured for the future.

In Lower Economy, NS, a homeowner faced long-standing seepage and weakened mortar in their cinder-block basement, making the space damp and unusable. In the before photo, you can see the basement's condition due to these persistent issues. We tackled this with a comprehensive waterproofing solution: CleanSpace encapsulation for effective moisture control, WaterGuard for optimal drainage, a SuperSump pump for active water removal, and IceGuard to safeguard the system against freezing discharge lines. In the after photo, observe how the space is now dry and functional, ready for use.
