Crawlspace Encapsulation- Dartmouth, NS
Challenge
When one of Dartmouth's residents discovered that a corner of their home’s foundation was dipping due to water damage – alarm bells rang. Concerns about the reliability of this discovery by a rather questionable contractor didn't diminish the dread of costly, extensive repairs. Reaching out to us at Ridgeback Basement Systems, the homeowner was looking for clarity, reliability, and, most importantly, a lasting solution.
Solution
Thankfully, our approach begins with this exact scenario in mind. Once the homeowner connected with our friendly Customer Care team, we wasted no time in sending out one of our experienced System Design Specialists to conduct a thorough inspection of the home's crawl space. Confirming the suspicion, our specialist found indeed signs of water damage and foundation issues partially weakening the integrity of the home's base. Without delay, we prescribed a regimen of our most reliable solutions. We began with CleanSpace, a vapor barrier designed to lock out moisture, thereby preemptively stopping any further water damage. Alongside, we installed SilverGlow™ insulation along the walls of the Crawl space, promoting not just structural support but also energy efficiency – keeping the home warmer in the winter and cooler during summer months without the inflated energy costs. Our highly skilled production team—including a designated foreman and professional installers—swiftly set to work. Following meticulous protocols and showcasing unwavering dedication, they not only secured the foundation but also transformed a once vulnerable crawl space into a stronghold against the elements. In conclusion, the homeowner's woes transformed into relief. No longer at the mercy of the elements, the detriment caused by water intrusion and foundational sinking turned into a distant worry. Thanks to Ridgeback Basement Systems’ professional intervening, trust in the stability and safety of their home was restored.
