Before & After Photos

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.

In the before photo from our recent foundation repair project in Middleton, Nova Scotia, you can see the significant bow in the foundation. This kind of issue not only affects the safety but can also impact the structure over time. In the after photo, you'll see where we swiftly resolved these concerns by installing our SmartJack® system. This carefully designed system stabilizes crawl space beams and floor joists, pushing your home back toward its original state. It reinforces weakened floors and ensures a rock-solid foundation, bringing peace of mind.

In Moncton, New Brunswick, a homeowner noticed floors sagging due to inadequate beam support. Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems addressed the issue with our PowerBrace and SmartJack systems. The sagging floors in the before photo reveal the severity of the problem, while the after photo demonstrates the immediate improvement post-installation. Our PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes the foundation walls, efficiently halting further movement. Meanwhile, the SmartJack system engineered from galvanized steel effectively stabilizes floor joists and significantly restores floor level, providing long-lasting structural integrity.

Before, this Moncton home's cinder block basement was a sore sight and a source of worry, damp and in desperate need of support, as seen on the left. After calling us, we jumped into action. As noticeable in the after photo, we applied our PowerBrace system, not just to waterproof the space but to ensure the foundation stands solid for years to come. Our solution turned their basement from a concern into a pillar of their home's stability.
