Foundation Repair- Springhill, NS
Challenge
A recent basement waterproofing project in Springhill, NS, showcased our dedication to providing reliable and long-lasting solutions. The homeowner contacted Ridgeback Basement Systems due to a persistent issue with their basement; water leaked into the basement foundation each time it rained. This problem was causing distress and concern about potential damage to the home's foundation.
Upon initial contact, our Customer Care Specialist efficiently scheduled an inspection with one of our System Design Specialists. During the inspection, our specialist accurately assessed the situation and diagnosed the problem. The analysis revealed that the leak originated from a crack in the basement wall, a common issue that simple patching solutions often fail to remedy. Understanding the need for a robust solution, our Design Specialist recommended the FlexiSpan® wall crack repair system.
Solution
Following the recommendation, our experienced production team, led by a foreman and skilled installers, proceeded to the site for the installation. The team initiated a thorough installation, beginning with applying a flexible sealant along the entire length of the crack. Subsequently, a strip of flexible and porous foam was placed over the sealed crack, culminating in adhering an impermeable membrane to both sides of the foam strip along the wall. This three-part process efficiently redirects any water penetration into the home's perimeter drainage system, negating adverse impacts from hydrostatic pressure or minor wall movements.
Post-installation, the team diligently cleaned the site, leaving the homeowner with peace of mind and a basement shielded from further leakages. By utilizing the advanced FlexiSpan® system, Ridgeback Basement Systems reaffirmed its commitment to excellence with a customized, lasting solution—ensuring the homeowner's satisfaction and securing the integrity of their home.
