Crawlspace Encapsulation- Amherst, NS
Challenge
Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems recently addressed a persistent crawl space issue for a homeowner in Amherst, Nova Scotia. The homeowner, concerned about constant moisture problems and ineffective waterproofing, reached out to us seeking a dependable long-term solution.
The crawl space in question had been subjected to excessive moisture and water intrusion, largely due to substandard waterproofing methods. Understanding the potential risks this posed to the homeowner’s property, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a thorough home inspection. During the appointment, our System Design Specialist evaluated the challenges and promptly identified the persistent moisture and the risk of water-related damage that threatened the homeowner’s residence.
Solution
To effectively tackle the issues, our production team recommended and installed the IceGuard® sump pump discharge line system in conjunction with the SuperSump solution. The IceGuard discharge line is specifically engineered to allow water to exit even if freezing conditions block the pipe, ensuring consistent and automatic protection regardless of the weather conditions outside. Meanwhile, the SuperSump efficiently evacuated water from the crawl space with its top-rated 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, providing robust pressure relief and steadfast reliability.
The result of the installation was transformative. The combination of IceGuard and SuperSump systems delivered enhanced moisture control and complete waterproofing to the crawl space. The homeowner reported not only a significant decrease in humidity levels but also gained peace of mind knowing their home was safeguarded against flooding and water damage. Through our commitment to superior service and time-tested solutions, we succeeded in delivering a drier and healthier living environment. This project underscores the expertise and reliability homeowners can expect when partnering with Ridgeback Basement Systems.
