Your Home faces Water Damage

1. Nova Scotia receives a good amount of rain which can quickly become an issue with flash floods. 

2. When flooding hits your area, your basement is most likely to be the prime target for water damage.

3. If you allow it to be wet, moldy, humid, smelly, and unhealthy, you're abandoning an entire floor of space in your home. Additionally, the basement air - filled with odors, dust mite feces, humidity, and mold spores - will rise into the rest of the house, ruining the healthy environment of the home.

              At this time I want to let Ridgeback know, how very pleased I am with the work Mitchell and Jakob have produced. Not only in what they did in the basement but also after the work with cleaning up their tools and equipment but also sweeping and mopping up the floor. First of they laid down special matting to walk on but whatever spilled over they cleaned up. Also any walls, steps or anything else they were very conscientious to clean. Those two young men work well together and could not even be swayed of taking a cup of coffee, they were there to do a job, so Mitchell said! I am glad that we chose your company for doing this important job, right from the start, the professionalism of John Crosby made an impression! He knew what he was talking about, had all the relevant brochures with him to give us, had samples of the flooring with him so we would have an idea what he was talking about. His pleasant personality also helped us make up our mind. All in all, Ridgeback has a great crew, at least from the ones we had interaction with, also from the office. Thank you very much for this very good experience, we certainly will recommend your company to anyone who is needs their basement fixed! Sincerely yours, Charlie & Claudia

              Mitchell just left here after completing the job in our basement. I just wanted to let you know that so far I'm very impressed with the quality of work that your company puts in the market. I'll get back to you in the spring to let you know how much of a difference that we found regarding the insulation of our basement in terms of the coldness of our floors, but so far it even smells better!!! Also, I just want to say I'm very impressed with friendliness,knowledge and overall professionalism of your employees. They cleaned up their work area and took the time to seal any voids with the spray foam that they felt may cause heat loss. It's that kind of extra care that is missing in most business today that the market wants, keep up the great work!! I'll get back to you in the spring and let you know if we had any issues over the winter. Again THANK YOU!!!

    “
              Hey guys, Just wanted to tell you how happy I am with my Ridgeback Sump Pump install. As you know Fredericton recently got a good deluge - I think we had in the range of 125-130 mm in 24 hours. So among the worst storms we've had in terms of rainfall here in the last few years. A few years back we had a similar rainfall event and my 1/4 hp sump pump at the time could not keep up with the incoming water... It was running continuous duty and I had to help with a shop vac to keep our sump from overflowing for about an hour - after that the water inflow relaxed a bit but our sump pump was tripping on at least every minute for the next day and then every few minutes for a couple of days. It was nerve racking knowing that a brief power failure or a failure of that pump could have done $10,000 worth of damage in minutes. With this recent event I was out of town in Montreal. I heard it was coming and I there was really nothing I could do but put my faith in my new dual sump pumps from Ridgeback. Several days later I got home and my basement was dry as a bone. Although clearly, from some new erosion gullies in our garden, we'd had a lot of rain and it had come down hard. My only regret is that I wasn't home to see the sump pumps in action! Peace of mind is priceless, so the Ridgeback system has certainly paid for itself. So thanks again - Happy Homeowner here!

    What a very good company to work with. Everything explained by our basement specialist Jared, how the system works what is involved in the installation. Then the crew comes to the house and does exactly what Jared said that they would do. Very aware of keeping the house clean even though they had many trips from the basement to their truck and back. The whole system is working well so far and I am anticipating only good things going forward. A big THANK-You to Jared, Sidney, Akhiem, Nathan and of course the administrator Amanda.

    Still getting water in one of the areas worked on, which is disappointing. Contacted salesperson with that info and he (Steve) assured me they'd look after it. Hopeful that this can happen soon.Overall, we have been most pleased with your willingness to address our needs in a speedy manner, as waiting would have led to further water damage. I cannot stress enough how important this willingness was in our decision to go with Ridgeback. Based on this positive experience, we are hopeful your folks can address the leak referred to above.
