Basement Waterproofing- Truro, NS
Challenge
In Truro, Nova Scotia, a homeowner was facing frequent water seepage in their basement, leading to dampness and the potential for mold and structural damage. Concerned about the inevitable issues that could arise from persistent water intrusion, they reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems in search of a permanent and effective solution.
The process began when they contacted our Customer Care Specialist, who promptly booked an appointment for a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist arrived at their property to conduct a thorough evaluation, identifying the extent of the waterproofing challenge and proposing a comprehensive solution tailored specifically to their home’s needs.
We recommended the installation of our WaterGuard® sub-floor perimeter drainage system alongside our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. WaterGuard® offers an innovative alternative to traditional French drains, as it channels unnecessary water from the foundation directly to the sump pump without risk of clogging. Paired with CleanSpace®, which seals crawl spaces to impede moisture infiltration, these systems promised both utility and peace of mind.
Solution
Following the homeowner's approval, our skilled installation team executed the plan efficiently, ensuring minimal disturbance to their daily life. The WaterGuard® system was strategically installed beneath the basement floor, capturing wall and floor seepage seamlessly while staying out of sight beneath a concrete cover. Simultaneously, the CleanSpace® liner, thanks to its durable multi-layer composition, robustly sealed the crawl space preventing moisture ingress.
Upon completion of the project, the homeowner observed a significant transformation. Their basement was dry, allowing for safe storage, improved air quality, and heightened comfort throughout the living spaces above. Our lasting solutions not only addressed their immediate challenges but also fortified the home against future water-related concerns, reinforcing our commitment to providing remarkable customer experiences and reliable, enduring results.
