Foundation Repair- Bayfield, NB
Challenge
Recently, we completed a foundation repair project for a homeowner in Bayfield, NB. The customer reached out to us, concerned about a specific problem area in their basement. At the bottom of the stairs, the floor exhibited severe cracks and heaving. Adjacent to this, a support post showed signs of failure, causing the floor above to slope markedly. Additional concerns included inward-bowing basement walls, particularly behind the stairs and along a key supportive structure, highlighting potential structural instability. During the inspection, it was noted that heavy rain aggravated these issues, leading to water intrusion.
Solution
Understanding the gravity of the situation, our team swiftly devised a targeted solution. We recommended and subsequently installed the SmartJack® System to address the failing support post. This approach ensured stabilization, aiming to lift the floors toward their original position while addressing underlying soil concerns. To combat the bowing walls, we employed the EverBrace Wall Restoration system, providing a robust barrier against further deterioration. This solution effectively transferred structural load to a new support framework, afortifying property’s foundation reliably.
Following the installation, the customer reported significant improvement, with their basement exhibiting stability and dryness, even during heavy rainfalls. The floors were leveled, and the structural integrity restored, minimizing future worries about foundation issues. Our methodical approach, transparency, and the durable products used met our mission of providing reliable, long-lasting solutions. At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we are committed to safeguarding homes, underpinning our reputation as a trustworthy expert in foundation repair services.
