Basement Waterproofing- Truro, NS
Challenge
After a particularly intense period of snowmelt, the homeowner in Truro, Nova Scotia found that their basement had developed substantial water intrusion through their foundation. The water problem was exacerbated this time, impacting not just the visible areas but also spaces obscured by drywall and their oil tank. Concerned about the escalating issue and potential damage to their home, the homeowner detailed their frustrations to our Customer Care Specialist. Understanding both the urgency and repeat nature of the problem, we swiftly scheduled an in-depth inspection.
Our System Design Specialist arrived at the property and methodically examined the situation. The diagnosis revealed foundation leaks and the possibility of obstructions in traditional drainage systems. It was clear that an effective waterproofing solution was needed to secure the homeowner’s basement and stave off future incidents.
Solution
To solve this, our skilled production team implemented a comprehensive system effective against water intrusion. We installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump—chosen for its triple protection capabilities against pump failure, power outages, and handling high water volumes. WaterGuard was leveraged for an internal drainage solution, efficiently directing water seepage from foundation walls to the sump pump, unseen and low-maintenance. Additionally, IceGuard was employed to safeguard the discharge lines from freezing conditions, ensuring persistent reliability even in the dead of winter.
The outcome was invaluable peace of mind for the homeowner. With our team's structured approach and expertise, we kept their basement dry, eliminating the stressful unpredictability of water-related issues. At Ridgeback Basement Systems, our commitment is to provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for every home, exemplified by the secure environment we maintained in this Truro-based project.
