Before & After Photos

Scott contacted Ridgeback Basement Systems as he wanted to improve the energy efficiency, warmth, and comfort of his home. The gravel floor, although looks nicer, is still sitting on the ground floor with zero insulation or barrier to the home. Our CleanSpace not only made it look better aesthetically with the bright area, but also generated less humidity, warmer floors and an overall healthier home. 

Ridgeback Basement Systems transformed a concerning situation into comfort and safety in this Wellington home. Initially, the new homeowner noticed alarming sagging on either side of the home's main structural beam, as visible in the 'before' photo. Following expert advice, they reached out to us for a professional solution. Employing the SmartJack system, as depicted in the 'after' photo, we effectively stabilized and lifted the compromised beam, restoring integrity and peace of mind to this beloved home.

In Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, a challenging foundation issue stood before Ridgeback Basement Systems. As you can see in the before photo, cinderblock walls allowed excessive water intrusion, worsening during heavy downpours. After two contractors suggested drastic measures, our team resolved to find a more efficient solution. Deploying the PowerBrace, SmartJack, and SaniDry Sedona systems, we remedied Katy's woes. As shown in the after photo, her basement is now stabilized and dry. Our approach enhances structural integrity, reduces humidity, and provides a permanent fix to her previous concerns.

In Bear River, Nova Scotia, a farmhouse with a deteriorating stone basement faced serious structural issues, evidenced by one exterior wall drastically shifting and even partially collapsing, as shown in the before photo. Ridgeback Basement Systems addressed this critical concern with our advanced EverBrace Wall Restoration system. This solution securely stabilized the crumbling foundation using steel corrugated panels supported by steel I-beams and filled voids with specialized rigid foam. Notice in the satisfying 'after' photo, the foundation is now fortified, ensuring future stability and safeguarding this cherished home from additional damage.
