Foundation Repair- Bear River, NS
Challenge
In Bear River, Nova Scotia, a homeowner reached out to us with a pressing concern. Their farmhouse, featuring a traditional stone basement, had an exterior wall that exhibited movement, leading to a partial collapse in one section. Following a thorough consideration of previous successful projects they had seen from Ridgeback Basement Systems, the homeowner felt confident we could provide a solution aligned with their needs. Upon contact, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a home inspection. A System Design Specialist conducted an extensive inspection of the property and diagnosed the compromised integrity of the stone wall.
Solution
To ensure future stability, they recommended the EverBrace Wall Restoration system, renowned for its ability to permanently stabilize severely deteriorating foundations. Our skilled production team, featuring experienced foremen and installers, then executed the installation of the EverBrace system. The process involved affixing steel I-beams tightly spaced across the weakened wall. Corrugated steel panels were then installed between these beams. To complete the structure, a specialized rigid foam was injected behind the panels, effectively filling every void and reinforcing the existing wall structure. This meticulous application transferred the structure's load from the crumbling wall to the newly installed support system, ensuring enduring strength and stability. Post-installation, the homeowner observed notable structural improvements. The worry of further collapse was alleviated, and the farmhouse retained its historical charm yet gained modern resilience. The proactive care from our team left the site immaculate, further demonstrating our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience and a reliable foundation solution. Residents in Bear River now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their home is better protected against future foundation issues, thanks to Ridgeback Basement Systems' expert intervention.
