Crawlspace Repair- Halifax, NS
Challenge
Recently, a homeowner in Halifax, Nova Scotia, reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems due to concerns about their deteriorating crawl space. After noticing rotten beams and other structural issues, they turned to us for a trustworthy, long-term solution. Our process began with a well-structured consultation. The homeowner's initial contact with our Customer Care Specialist led to a scheduled comprehensive inspection. A System Design Specialist from our dedicated Sales Team conducted a thorough assessment, identifying the challenges arising from moisture-related degradation. To resolve the problem effectively, we implemented our high-quality CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. This advanced solution is designed to transform damp, moldy crawl spaces into clean, dry foundations, securely sealing out moisture and enhancing structural integrity. We selected a robust 20-mil liner, offering multi-layer protection and antimicrobial defenses against mold and mildew.
Solution
In parallel, we addressed structural concerns by employing the SmartJack® system. This solution is engineered for stabilizing and strengthening weakened beams and floor joists. Our adept team installed adjustable galvanized steel columns on solid 12-inch steel bases, securing these to the existing girders. Through this targeted intervention, we worked to lift the sagging floors towards their original elevation. Post-installation, the outcome was reassuring. Thanks to our solutions, the crawl space is now a dry, secure environment, significantly mitigating the issues caused by excess moisture, and restoring structural integrity. The homeowner experienced a noticeable improvement in the stability and cleanliness of their home, ensuring peace of mind and long-term reliability. Ridgeback Basement Systems is committed to providing remarkable customer experiences, even in the most challenging situations, and stands ready to offer precise, reliable solutions to homeowners facing similar concerns.
