Ridgeback Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In this 70-year-old Sydney, NS home, one corner of the unfinished basement showed troubling thin, diagonal cracks. Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems knew this was a sign of potential structural issues. With our non-invasive CarbonArmor® system, we've tackled the problem efficiently. Notice in the photo how we applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymers to contour and stabilize the wall. These polymers, along with our exclusive ArmorLock brackets, provide a permanent solution, preventing further wall movement. The high-strength epoxy resin ensures durability, keeping the basement stable and the homeowner's worries at bay.

Before our intervention, the crawl space in this New Waterford, NS home was uninviting and inefficient, as you can see in the "before" photo. Notice the transformation in the "after" photo, where we applied our CleanSpace technology to meticulously encapsulate the area, accompanied by SilverGlo insulation panels that work together to provide a clean, efficient, and protected environment below the home. Our expertise ensured a lasting solution and an immensely improved home experience for the homeowner.

Tackling a persistent water issue in New Waterford, NS, Amanda's challenge was clear in the before photo — a basement battling against nature due to a natural spring underneath. The after photo showcases our solution: a combination of our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, WaterGuard and IceGuard. These systems work in tandem to reroute water efficiently, even during the coldest months. This approach not only solved the immediate flooding concerns but also set a long-term defense against moisture — transforming worry into relief.
