Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Liscomb, Nova Scotia, a homeowner faced a pressing foundation issue with walls showing significant inward movement due to high moisture levels. Our solution involved installing the PowerBrace™ System, which stabilizes and can reverse wall failure effects. We also set up the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump for comprehensive water management and the WaterGuard® system to preemptively capture water seepage. A SaniDry™ Sedona was added to control humidity and prevent mold. As shown in the after photo, these installations have successfully rectified the problem, transforming the basement into a secure and dry area.

In St. Andrews, NS, a homeowner faced recurrent flooding issues due to a failing sump pump system. As you can see in the before photo, this posed a real threat to their basement and overall home integrity. We resolved this problem by installing our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard systems. The after photo demonstrates a dry and secure basement, now protected even during power outages thanks to our UltraSump battery-powered backup pump. Our IceGuard system ensures that water escapes even if the pipes freeze, providing comprehensive flood protection and ensuring peace of mind.

In the before photo, you can see a wet, non-functional basement in Baddeck, NS, which made storage a challenge. The homeowner needed a reliable, long-term solution to keep their space dry. Thanks to our expertise at Ridgeback Basement Systems, we transformed their damp basement with the installation of our efficient SuperSump system. It features a powerful 1/3 HP Zoeller pump that efficiently channels water away from the foundation. Now, the homeowners enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement remains dry and functional for storage, even in the wettest weather.

Before our intervention, the basement in Port Hawkesbury, NS faced persistent water issues, inadequate drainage, and high humidity as depicted in the photos. The moisture provided the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. To resolve this, we installed a SaniDry Sedona for optimal dehumidification, a TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure continuous and efficient water management, and our IceGuard system to prevent water backflow during freezing conditions. This comprehensive approach transformed the basement into a dry, mold-free, and healthier space, showcasing the smart, robust systems Ridgeback Basement Systems employs.

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.
