Before & After Photos

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 Saint John, the homeowner faced instability with sagging floors and excessive bounce due to weakened crawl space joists, threatening structural integrity. Ridgeback Basement Systems stepped in to provide a reliable solution. By implementing the SmartJack® System, we stabilized and reinforced the crawl space, successfully lifting the floors towards their original level. This efficient system supports the home's structure by redistributing weight onto a solid, engineered base. Dependable and precisely crafted, our galvanized steel columns significantly enhanced the home's overall strength, as seen in the after photos. Welcome to peace of mind with Ridgeback.

As shown in the "before" photo, the basement wall in Red Bank, NB was leaning inward, posing a significant risk to the structural integrity of the home. To address this issue, Ridgeback Basement Systems employed our trusted solution, the PowerBrace. Installed expertly, these zinc-plated steel beams are specifically tailored to the height of the basement. Spotting their mounting points in strategic locations, these beams have halted the wall's inward movement, restoring stability. As evidenced in the "after" photo, this solution has effectively resolved the structural challenge.

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.
