Basement Waterproofing and Crawlspace Repair- Brooklyn, NS
Challenge
In Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, a family recently purchased a house with a persistent moisture issue in the crawl space, as uncovered by their home inspector. Faced with concerns about mold and structural safety, they reached out to us at Ridgeback Basement Systems for help. It was clear they needed an effective solution to avoid future problems given the house was on pilings, and a proactive approach was essential. Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled an assessment with our System Design Specialist, who conducted a detailed inspection of their home. The inspection confirmed high moisture levels and the presence of mold, requiring immediate attention. The family was in need of a reliable method to address these issues and improve their home's air quality.
Solution
Our team of skilled installers set to work with a tailored solution. We began by installing the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to safeguard against moisture accumulation and prevent future problems. This involved laying a strong, antimicrobial liner over the crawl space floor and walls, sealing the area effectively. Next, we positioned the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to maintain low humidity levels and eliminate potential mold threats. Finally, recognizing the need for added structural support due to the home being on pilings, we installed our SmartJack System. The SmartJacks were secured to add needed stability to the floor above and ensure long-lasting structural integrity. Following the completion of this work, the homeowners expressed satisfaction with the outcomes. The family's crawl space is now dry, safe, mold-free, with a noticeable improvement in the home's air quality. This project highlighted our commitment as Ridgeback Basement Systems to delivering durable and effective solutions, ensuring this family can enjoy their new home with peace of mind.
