Ridgeback Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Before, this Hubbards, NS homeowner Peter faced a common yet troubling issue: a damp, under-encapsulated crawl space beneath their mudroom, characterized by inadequate insulation and sufficient structural support visible in the photo's left side. This not only threatened the home's integrity but also its energy efficiency. Fortunately, our dedicated team at Ridgeback Basement Systems quickly devised a solution. By thoughtfully installing SilverGlo and CleanSpace, we transformed the space into a dry, efficiently insulated area, as seen on the photo's right. Add to this the installation of SmartJack for robust support, and the crawl space is now more than just functional—it's an asset. Our commitment to providing a reliable solution and remarkable customer service shines through in this transformation, showcasing our expertise in turning problematic areas into solid, dependable spaces.

In Bayfield, NB, a homeowner faced serious foundation issues, including severe cracks at the base of basement stairs, compromised support posts, and inward-bowing walls, as clearly seen in the initial pictures. Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems tackled these problems using advanced solutions: the SmartJack System to stabilize foundation supports and address the distressed floor structure, combined with the EverBrace Wall Restoration system to fortify deteriorating walls against future damage. Notice the transformation—the secure foundation now creates a safe, level living environment, exemplifying our expertise in foundational repair.

Notice in the before photo: the foundation issues led to severe floor cracking, support post instability, and walls bowing inward in the homeowner's Bayfield, NB basement. Water intrusion added to these concerns. To resolve this, we installed a highly reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump system. This system provides triple-level protection, ensuring pumping reliability even during power outages, thus keeping the basement dry in the wettest conditions. Coupled with the IceGuard system, the discharge line remains functional even if blocked by ice or debris, preventing water damage effectively. 

In Bayfield, NB, a homeowner faced severe structural challenges in their crawl space, creating significant concerns about their home's stability. The issues were clear: a cracked floor at the bottom of the basement stairs, sloping floors, and bowing walls that allowed water intrusion during heavy rains. Addressing these concerns, Ridgeback Basement Systems expertly installed the CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. Our durable, high-quality solution secures the crawl space against moisture, rotting, and pests while bolstering structural integrity—promising long-term peace of mind for homeowners dealing with crawl space moisture issues.

In Bayfield, New Brunswick, a homeowner faced recurring moisture problems affecting their 15x15 crawl space.

We installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels, and a reliable SuperSump was fitted for effective water management. The SmartJack system bolstered support for floor joists, effectively stabilizing the structure, while IceGuard protection ensured continuous operation regardless of temperature changes.
