Before & After Photos

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 the before photo, you’ll notice how water started seeping into this Truro, Nova Scotia, crawl space following a Friday night's melting snow, leading to potential damage and hidden threats behind drywall and the oil tank. Moisture can quickly lead to more significant issues, but we tackled the problem head-on. Using CleanSpace and WaterGuard, we resolved the water intrusion. You can see the transformed space, now dry and stable. Our solution effectively managed the water flow and improved the structural integrity of this home’s foundation, moving damp problems into the past.

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.

Before our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems arrived, the crawl space in this Baddeck, NS home was damp and unusable, as shown in the before photo. The homeowners struggled with moisture and desired a functional storage area. We tackled the problem by installing our CleanSpace® encapsulation system. This durable liner, seen in the after photo, efficiently sealed out moisture, transforming the crawl space into a clean, dry, and usable storage area. Now, this Baddeck home not only has increased protection from moisture issues but also a renewed, storage-ready space.
