Crawlspace Repair- Amherst, NS
Challenge
In Amherst, Nova Scotia, a homeowner contacted Ridgeback Basement Systems with concerns about their crawl space. Dampness, mustiness, and an unsettling sag in the floors above led them to worry about the structural integrity of their home. Recognizing these signs, a call to our Customer Care Specialist set the wheels in motion for a dependable solution.
Upon arrival, our System Design Specialist conducted a detailed inspection. It was evident that the homeowner was dealing with structural issues exacerbated by moisture and inadequate support within the crawl space. To address these problems effectively, we proposed installing the SmartJack® System and the CleanSpace® encapsulation solution.
Solution
The project began with our experienced production team, who first focused on stabilizing the weakening crawl space beams and floor joists. Using the SmartJack® System, they placed galvanized steel columns on a robust 12-inch steel base. These custom-cut supports were then meticulously secured and adjusted to enhance stability and lift the sagging floors towards their original position.
Following stabilization, we turned our attention to the crawl space environment itself. We installed the CleanSpace® liner, effectively encapsulating the space and tackling the pervasive moisture issue. This high-quality liner acts as a durable vapor barrier, safeguarding against mold growth and moisture migration up into the home.
By the project's end, the homeowner enjoyed a markedly improved living environment, with floors restored to stability and a notable decrease in humidity inside the house. This job in Amherst, Nova Scotia exemplifies our commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences and reliable, long-lasting solutions. We take pride in transforming troubling crawl space situations into foundations that customers can trust.
