Before & After Photos

Before tackling this Musquodoboit Harbour home's crawl space, water intrusion and lack of proper encapsulation left it damp and vulnerable, as evident in the before photo. Our dedicated team at Ridgeback Basement Systems transformed this issue with our CleanSpace system. Notice in the after photo, the difference is clear: a dry, well-encapsulated space now stands capable of resisting moisture, ensuring a healthier, safer home environment. Our mission was to deliver peace of mind with a durable, high-quality solution, and we did just that, bringing our client's crawl space back to optimal condition.

In Belle River, PE, a homeowner faced the challenge of a rotting beam and degraded floor joists leading to potential structural damage. We provided a comprehensive solution using the SmartJack System to stabilize and lift the beams and floor joists. Our team reinforced the foundation using engineered materials for enhanced distribution of weight. Additionally, we utilized CleanSpace for crawl space encapsulation, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, included a reliable SuperSump system, and protected the sump pump with IceGuard. Notice the transformation from an unstable structure to a secure and dry foundation, ensuring long-term stability and protection.

In Lawrencetown, NS, a homeowner reached out as their 25-year-old property faced issues with a vented crawl space insulated with old straw. This led to improper insulation and elevated moisture levels. We addressed the problem by removing the inadequate insulation and installed our comprehensive solution: CleanSpace, SilverGlo, SaniDry Sedona, and SmartJack. With CleanSpace encapsulation, SilverGlo wall insulation, and proper humidity control using SaniDry Sedona, we significantly improved air quality and structural stability with SmartJack. This resulted in a dry, energy-efficient crawl space and restored the home’s structural integrity.

In Lawrencetown, NS, this homeowner faced a typical crawl space issue: bare dirt floors leading to excessive moisture and related problems. In the 'before' photo, notice the signs of dampness—a breeding ground for mold and potential structural issues. We intervened with our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. As seen in the 'after' photo, our CleanSpace® installation effectively sealed the dirt floors to the walls and support posts. With our proprietary high-density polyethylene liner, this crawl space is now dry and secure, ensuring better air quality and structural integrity for the home.

In Upper Musquodoboit, the homeowner faced an unstable crawlspace with compromised foundation, joists, and beams. Notice in the before photo the sagging floors and visible water damage due to high humidity levels. Ridgeback Basement Systems expertly addressed these issues using our SmartJack, SaniDry Sedona, and SmartPipe systems. As seen in the after photo, the SmartJack alleviates floor bounce by stabilizing beams, while the SaniDry Sedona controls moisture, preventing mold and dust. Meanwhile, the SmartPipe efficiently manages water drainage, providing a safe and healthy living environment for the home.
