Before & After Photos

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.

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.
