Before & After Photos

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.

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.
