Challenge
In New Glasgow, a homeowner faced several troubling issues in their basement. The vertical supports were insufficient, temporarily relying on make-shift measures to bear the home's weight. Attached to this concerning scenario was a foundation showing signs of bending inward, coupled with floors at noticeable angles. Recognizing the risks of these symptoms, the homeowner reached out to us at Ridgeback Basement Systems for resolution. Our process unfolded with a visit from our Customer Care Specialist, who promptly scheduled a detailed inspection. Our System Design Specialist then expertly assessed the situation, devising a comprehensive and reliable solution.
Solution
A strategy was quickly put in place to tackle the homeowner’s concerns effectively. Our production team, led by an experienced foreman, was dispatched to implement the solution. To address the structural deficiencies, we installed the robust SmartJack system. This solution provided reinforced stability and elevated the sloping floors back to their original positions. To ensure a dry, moisture-free environment, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, WaterGuard subfloor drainage, and the IceGuard system came together seamlessly. This combination prepared the basement for varying water volumes and potential freeze conditions with a reliable discharge system, safeguarding against future flooding. Additionally, to enhance indoor air quality and eliminate excess humidity, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed. By managing moisture levels, it curbed potential mold growth, contributing to a healthier overall environment inside the home. By the project's end, the structural integrity of the home was fortifyingly restored, floors were perfectly leveled, and the basement developed into a clean, dry space, primed for versatile use. The homeowner experienced a transformative change through our keenly focused solutions that spanned both safety and comfort. Our mission, centered on delivering trust and durable solutions, was vividly reflected in the outcome.
