Crawlspace Repair- Truro, NS
Challenge
In Truro, Nova Scotia, a homeowner reached out to us at Ridgeback Basement Systems after finding water in their basement from a suspected foundation leak. They noticed water was entering at a point obscured by both drywall and an oil tank. The problem seemed more severe than previous issues, clearly requiring expert intervention to ensure a safe home environment.
Our Customer Care Specialist first connected with the homeowner to schedule a home inspection. A System Design Specialist from our team then conducted a comprehensive assessment of the issue. With careful inspection, we diagnosed that excess moisture had accumulated in the crawl space, creating potential for mold growth and further structural interference.
Solution
To address these concerns, our production team, comprised of skilled foremen and installers, set to work with the installation of the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system and our reliable WaterGuard drainage solution. CleanSpace effectively sealed the crawl space, transforming it from a damp, unproductive area into a dry and functional foundation. Our encapsulation system provides a robust barrier, utilizing a 7-ply durable liner that outperforms common materials, protected against mold and mildew.
Simultaneously, WaterGuard was installed as a sub-floor drainage system, designed specifically for non-clogging operation and hidden discreetly beneath a top coat of concrete. WaterGuard channels any seepage to a sump, preserving the homeowner's investment by preventing future water intrusions.
Upon completion, the transition was impressive. The basement and crawl space remained dry even during heavy rainfall. Thanks to our tailored solution, the homeowners can now use this space confidently without concern of repeated leaks or water damage. This project exemplifies Ridgeback Basement Systems' dedication to providing reliable, long-lasting, and expertly-delivered solutions for any home's needs.
