Basement Waterproofing- North Kingston, NS
Challenge
When a homeowner in North Kingston, Nova Scotia, was faced with a persistent moisture issue in their basement and a dirt floor causing undue stress and concern, they turned to Ridgeback Basement Systems for a lasting solution. Our team expertly handled the situation, ensuring the basement stayed dry and stable. Initially, a Customer Care Specialist scheduled an appointment for a complete inspection. One of our skilled System Design Specialists visited the home to undertake an extensive evaluation of the basement conditions. It quickly became evident that excessive moisture and an inadequate drainage system, exacerbated by the dirt floor, were the underlying issues. Our solution was comprehensive.
Solution
Firstly, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to create a moisture barrier, transforming the dirty and damp environment into a clean, dry space. This high-performance system provides superior protection against mold and mildew, characteristics key to maintaining a healthy home atmosphere. Additionally, knowing the harsh conditions that Canadian winters can bring, we employed the IceGuard system. This innovative feature ensures that any water, even if exterior discharge lines froze, could still escape from the basement without causing internal issues. For dehumidification, we set up the SaniDry Sedona. Its efficiency aids in maintaining low humidity levels, deterring mold growth and alleviating allergen concerns, establishing a healthier environment throughout the home. The new SuperSump safely diverts water away from the foundation, offering peace of mind with its advanced pumping capability and alarm feature. Complementing this setup, SmartJack supports were installed to provide essential stabilization to the basement structures. The culmination of these efforts ensured the homeowners not only a dry basement but also enhanced structural stability. This meticulous approach attests to Ridgeback Basement Systems’ commitment to delivering dependable, tailored solutions.
