Before & After Photos

In Amherst, Nova Scotia, this homeowner faced a failing basement with unsupportive joists and a damp, unprotected crawl space. In the before photo, you can see the structural concerns that risked broader home stability. As shown dramatically in the after photo, our experienced Ridgeback Basement Systems team addressed these issues by strategically installing the SmartJack® System. This enhanced structural integrity with durable galvanized steel pillars. Additionally, we corrected moisture issues by applying our advanced CleanSpace® encapsulation system, securing a clean, dry, and stable foundation environment. This transformation solves long-term potential damage and reveals remarkable home well-being.

In Amherst, Nova Scotia, this crawl space initially struggled with significant waterproofing challenges, as seen in the before photo. High moisture levels compromised both safety and comfort for this homeowner. We addressed these concerns with precise installation of IceGuard and SuperSump systems. IceGuard ensures reliable performance by preventing discharge line blockages, even in harsh winter weather. The SuperSump enhances this solution, providing efficient water evacuation and pressure relief. Together, they form a comprehensive crawl space repair system, improving overall foundation health and securing long-term peace of mind.

In the "before" photo, a crawl space in Chester, Nova Scotia, was wrestling with moisture, leading to mold and odors — not to mention increased energy bills. Notice how the damp, unconditioned space heightened the risk of wood rot and pests. Fast forward to the "after" photo, and Ridgeback Basement Systems has made a significant transformation. With our CleanSpace encapsulation system, the crawl space is now a dry, clean foundation. CleanSpace’s durable 20-mil, 7-ply construction ensures effective moisture protection, bringing peace of mind for the home's structure and comfort.

In a recently vacant home in Mahone Bay, the prospective homeowner recognized the need for crucial crawl space repairs. The crawl space's condition, visible in the 'before' photo, required comprehensive intervention to support the home's structure and fouler management.

By installing SmartJacks, a SuperSump, SilverGlo insulation, SaniDry Sedona, and IceGuard, we provided unparalleled reinforcement and environmental control. The 'after' photo demonstrates the renewed stability and optimized atmosphere of the upgraded crawl space.

In Tyne Valley, PE, we addressed a homeowner's concern with a significant foundation wall crack.

Utilizing our advanced CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, we effectively solved the problem. The after photo reflects the transformation to a cleaner, dryer, and structurally secure space. CleanSpace® prevents moisture migration, mitigates mold growth, and enhances air quality. With these quality solutions, we ensure long-term durability and efficiency for every project.
