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.

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.

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.
