Before & After Photos

In Kentville, Nova Scotia, a homeowner faced persistent issues with moisture and structural concerns in their crawl space. Notice in the photo the damp, moldy conditions affecting both integrity and indoor air quality. We addressed this by installing our CleanSpace encapsulation to enhance moisture management, a SuperSump to ensure efficient water removal, and an IceGuard system for all-weather drainage reliability. The SaniDry Sedona was used to maintain a healthy humidity level, and SmartJack resolved structural instability. As demonstrated, Ridgeback Basement Systems delivered a comprehensive solution for lasting basement improvement.

Facing a troubled foundation in Bass River, Nova Scotia, a homeowner called Ridgeback Basement Systems when their rock wall foundation started bowing in. As you can see in the before photo, the challenge was significant, but our solution was effective. We utilized the EverBrace Wall Restoration system, designed to permanently stabilize severely failing walls. This system deploys steel corrugated panels and specialized rigid foam to transfer the load away from the deteriorating wall, as seen in the transformation captured in the after photo. Now, their foundation is well-secured for the future.
