Ridgeback Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In the before photo, you can see a wet, non-functional basement in Baddeck, NS, which made storage a challenge. The homeowner needed a reliable, long-term solution to keep their space dry. Thanks to our expertise at Ridgeback Basement Systems, we transformed their damp basement with the installation of our efficient SuperSump system. It features a powerful 1/3 HP Zoeller pump that efficiently channels water away from the foundation. Now, the homeowners enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement remains dry and functional for storage, even in the wettest weather.

Before our intervention, the basement in Port Hawkesbury, NS faced persistent water issues, inadequate drainage, and high humidity as depicted in the photos. The moisture provided the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. To resolve this, we installed a SaniDry Sedona for optimal dehumidification, a TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure continuous and efficient water management, and our IceGuard system to prevent water backflow during freezing conditions. This comprehensive approach transformed the basement into a dry, mold-free, and healthier space, showcasing the smart, robust systems Ridgeback Basement Systems employs.

Before diving into the details of our recent project in Sydney, NS, let's address the challenge: a homeowner's dirty, open crawl space craving protection from the elements. As captured in the before photo, the undefined space clearly called for a remarkable solution. Enter Ridgeback Basement Systems' expertise, armed with our CleanSpace technology. As vividly showcased in the after photo, we transformed this area into a clean, encapsulated, and safeguarded environment. This implementation not only denotes our commitment to delivering a robust solution but ensures a lasting defense against external intrusions, aligning with our mission to uplifting homeowners' peace of mind through formidable, quality service.

In this 70-year-old Sydney, NS home, one corner of the unfinished basement showed troubling thin, diagonal cracks. Our team at Ridgeback Basement Systems knew this was a sign of potential structural issues. With our non-invasive CarbonArmor® system, we've tackled the problem efficiently. Notice in the photo how we applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymers to contour and stabilize the wall. These polymers, along with our exclusive ArmorLock brackets, provide a permanent solution, preventing further wall movement. The high-strength epoxy resin ensures durability, keeping the basement stable and the homeowner's worries at bay.
