Foundation Crack Repair- Sydney, NS
Challenge
A concerned homeowner in Sydney, NS, reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems when they discovered thin, diagonal cracks in one corner of their basement wall. This issue was particularly worrying given the age of the home—over 70 years—and the truth is, the potential severity of foundation problems can leave anyone a bit on edge.
Solution
Our well-established process began with a call to our Customer Care Specialist, who arranged a comprehensive evaluation. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection, confirming that the cracks were a sign of a foundation issue. We recommended the CarbonArmor® system as the ideal solution. This product is perfect for stabilizing block foundation walls without disrupting the home’s existing structure, making it a fitting choice for our client’s unfinished basement. Our skilled production team arrived on schedule to carry out the installation. CarbonArmor® straps, made from ultra-strong carbon fiber polymers, were applied over the affected area. The high-strength epoxy resin bonded seamlessly with both the straps and the wall, ensuring long-term stability. Additionally, our exclusive ArmorLock brackets secured these straps at the top, preempting any further movement. Once the project was complete, our team left the basement as clean as they found it. In the end, the homeowner got the peace of mind they needed, coupled with a strengthened foundation that promises durability and reliability. It's another testament to how Ridgeback Basement Systems delivers solid, dependable results tailored to each home we visit.
