Basement Waterproofing- Truro, NS
Challenge
In Truro, Nova Scotia, a homeowner faced significant challenges with moisture and structural issues in their 1954 home. Excess moisture was present in the crawl space, creating a persistent musty odor and affecting the floor's integrity due to potential mold growth. Despite using a dehumidifier, increased humidity levels and three pronounced floor dips were signs of underlying structural problems requiring attention.
Upon contacting us at Ridgeback Basement Systems, the homeowner’s journey began with a thorough inspection by our expert System Design Specialist, who assessed the extent of the moisture issue and the associated structural risks. Understanding the critical need for a lasting solution, we proposed and implemented a comprehensive plan to address the homeowner’s concerns effectively.
Solution
Our skilled installation team equipped the basement with a suite of products specifically designed to tackle these issues. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to create a dry and healthier environment by significantly reducing humidity and preventing mold growth. Additionally, we installed the SmartSump system, ensuring reliable protection by directing water away from the foundation, smartly designed to function even under adverse weather. For added security during winter months, the IceGuard system was attached to the sump pump discharge line. This addition ensures worry-free operation even if the exterior pipe becomes blocked by ice or snow.
Through our methodical approach, the home not only regained stability and a healthier environment, but the owner also experienced peace of mind. With improved structural support and efficient moisture control, the homeowner was assured of a protected and comfortable living space. At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we prioritize long-lasting solutions and outstanding customer experiences.
