Basement Waterproofing- Springhill, NS
Challenge
In Springhill, NS, a homeowner faced the troubling challenge of a persistently leaking basement foundation, with water seeping in every time it rained. Frustrated with the recurring problem and aware of the potential long-term damage to their home environment, the homeowner reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems—a company reputed for providing reliable and long-lasting basement waterproofing solutions.
Upon receiving the call, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled an inspection. Within a few days, our System Design Specialist arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection and accurately diagnose the issue. The inspection revealed that water seepage was due to ineffective drainage and an unreliable sump pump setup.
Solution
Having identified the root cause, we proposed a comprehensive solution: the installation of our innovative WaterGuard system, the trusted SuperSump sump pump, and our patented IceGuard discharge line protection. Our experienced production team carried out this carefully tailored solution. The WaterGuard, which we installed below the basement floor's surface and on top of the footing, efficiently captured and directed both wall and floor seepage away from the area.
Connected to the WaterGuard was the SuperSump, equipped with a powerful 1/3 HP cast iron pump, designed for high-volume pumping, ensuring automatic and effective water evacuation. The addition of IceGuard provided added insurance by facilitating water discharge even if exterior pipes faced freezing conditions.
Upon completion, the homeowner’s basement was left dry and suitable for use, with our team efficiently handling both the installation and clean-up. With our system in place, the homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing their basement is secure against any future rain-related challenges.
