Before & After Photos

In Alberton, PEI, a homeowner preparing to buy a house reached out to us after noticing stairstep cracking within the foundation's cinderblocks. Our team of specialists at Ridgeback Basement Systems addressed these concerns with precision by installing our reliable PowerBrace™ System. This system stabilizes foundation walls using custom-fit zinc-plated steel beams, eliminating the need for invasive procedures. Secure from floor to ceiling, as visible in the photos, our patented design promises enhanced permanence and can even reverse previous wall failures, ensuring durability and safety.

In Tyne Valley, PE, a concerned homeowner called us after discovering a large crack in their foundation wall. In the before photo, the inward bending and separation are clearly seen, posing structural risks. Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems expertly installed the PowerBrace™ System, visible in the after photo. This system features zinc-plated steel beams custom-fitted to the basement height. They are securely anchored to both the basement floor and first-floor framing. This provides permanent stabilization, prevents further movement, and eliminates the threat of foundation wall failure.

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.

In Lower Economy, NS, as seen in the before photo, a homeowner faced years of unusable basement space due to persistent dampness and weakening mortar in the cinder-block walls. The longstanding seepage issues compromised both safety and comfort. To provide a reliable solution, Ridgeback Basement Systems installed the PowerBrace™ System. Notice in the after photo how our custom-fit, zinc-plated steel beams are securely anchored, which has permanently stabilized the foundation walls. With these corrective measures, this basement is not only restored but safeguarded against future wall failure.
