Before & After Photos

In Lawrencetown, NS, this homeowner faced a typical crawl space issue: bare dirt floors leading to excessive moisture and related problems. In the 'before' photo, notice the signs of dampness—a breeding ground for mold and potential structural issues. We intervened with our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. As seen in the 'after' photo, our CleanSpace® installation effectively sealed the dirt floors to the walls and support posts. With our proprietary high-density polyethylene liner, this crawl space is now dry and secure, ensuring better air quality and structural integrity for the home.

In Truro, Nova Scotia, this home built in 1954 faced significant crawl space issues. Notice in the before photo the damp surroundings, structural concerns causing uneven floors, and a musty odor indicating mold presence. Our solution was the installation of the CleanSpace® encapsulation system, as shown in the after photo. This high-quality, durable liner addresses moisture, prevents mold growth, and reinforces structural stability. We transformed the crawl space into a dry, protected area that enhances air quality and reduces energy costs, ultimately safeguarding the home's integrity.

In the before photo, you’ll notice how water started seeping into this Truro, Nova Scotia, crawl space following a Friday night's melting snow, leading to potential damage and hidden threats behind drywall and the oil tank. Moisture can quickly lead to more significant issues, but we tackled the problem head-on. Using CleanSpace and WaterGuard, we resolved the water intrusion. You can see the transformed space, now dry and stable. Our solution effectively managed the water flow and improved the structural integrity of this home’s foundation, moving damp problems into the past.

In Upper Musquodoboit, the homeowner faced an unstable crawlspace with compromised foundation, joists, and beams. Notice in the before photo the sagging floors and visible water damage due to high humidity levels.

As seen in the after photo, the SmartJack alleviates floor bounce by stabilizing beams, while the SaniDry Sedona controls moisture, preventing mold and dust. Meanwhile, the SmartPipe efficiently manages water drainage, providing a safe and healthy living environment for the home.

Before our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems arrived, the crawl space in this Baddeck, NS home was damp and unusable, as shown in the before photo.

Now, this Baddeck home not only has increased protection from moisture issues but also a renewed, storage-ready space.
