Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair- Liscomb, NS
Challenge
A homeowner in Liscomb, Nova Scotia reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems after noticing worsening cracks in their foundation walls and signs of moisture collecting in their basement. With concerns about long-term structural damage and poor air quality, they were looking for a permanent solution they could trust.
Our Customer Care Specialist scheduled a prompt site inspection. Upon arrival, our System Design Specialist performed a thorough assessment of the home’s foundation and crawl space, uncovering several key issues:
-
Cracking and bowing in foundation walls
-
Standing water and dampness in the basement
-
Inadequate insulation and poor air circulation
-
An outdated sump pump unable to keep up with seasonal changes
