Ridgeback Basement Systems serving Coldstream, NS

When a homeowner from Stewiacke, NS approached us about waterproofing their rental property, we knew it was time to jump into action and ensure their tenants remained dry and comfortable year-round. This property, like many others, faced challenges associated with water entering the basement, something that can not only cause discomfort but can also pose a risk to the structural integrity of the house and health of those living there. Our initial step in this journey began with a meticulous inspection by a System Design Specialist. They assessed the basement, pinpointing the water intrusion issues and thus determining the most effective solution for waterproofing. Our recommended solutions included the installation of WaterGuard, a proven interior perimeter drainage system, alongside the trustworthy SuperSump sump pump system for effectively pumping away any water collected from the basement. Furthermore, to combat potential blockages caused by freezing temperatures, the IceGuard system was installed on the exterior sump pump discharge lines. Lastly, to seal off humidity and vapor, we used CleanSpace liner along the walls - an efficient method for keeping basements dry and healthy.

Executing the job with insistence on quality and teamwork, our dedicated production team set to work. The process involved carefully installing the WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement, ensuring water would be guided towards the newly positioned SuperSump pump system. With the IceGuard in place, there was peace of mind knowing that come winter, the system would still effectively discharge water without the fear of frozen pipes. Wrapping the vulnerable basement walls with the CleanSpace liner, we added a final layer of protection against moisture. In the end, the transformation was exactly what we aim for: a dry, secure, healthier basement ready to handle any season's water challenges.
