Basement Waterproofing- Dartmouth, NS
Challenge
At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we recently completed a basement waterproofing project for a homeowner in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who was distressed due to frequent water intrusion in their basement. The problem stemmed from excessive water pressure behind one wall, which led to persistent dampness in the laundry room. Concerned about potential damage, the homeowner contacted our Customer Care Specialist, who quickly scheduled an inspection.
Solution
Our System Design Specialist visited the property to perform a thorough assessment. It became clear that the existing sump setup was inadequate for the challenges posed by Dartmouth's climate. Our recommended solution included the installation of a SuperSump system along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. These systems were chosen for their ability to handle high volumes of water reliably even further reassured by their built-in alarms and fail safes. The discharge site was expertly designed to lead away from the foundation, reaching beneath the backyard porch, ensuring efficient water evacuation. Our skilled production team proceeded with meticulous installation. Starting with the SuperSump, we ensured it was securely attached to the wall to effectively address the subfloor water pressure. The TripleSafe Sump Pump was then installed to provide triple-layer protection, combating any potential failures. The system was complemented by our patented IceGuard, which prevents discharge line freezing – a common issue in Dartmouth’s cold months. The outcome was a dry, worry-free basement, as the high-performance sump pump systems prevented water build-up even during inclement weather. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing their home is protected by Ridgeback’s reliable waterproofing solutions. This project showcases our commitment to delivering polished results with expertise and dependability, preserving homes across Dartmouth and beyond.
