Foundation Repair- Moncton, NB
Challenge
Recently at Ridgeback Basement Systems, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Moncton, NB, who was encountering some troubles with their basement. The home, charming and well-loved, sat on a foundation of cinder blocks that, over time, showed distress due to water intrusion. Beyond just waterproofing, the homeowner was seeking additional support to ensure their basement was not only dry but also structurally sound for years to come.
Solution
Upon receiving the call, our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection to understand the depth of the issue firsthand. Our System Design Specialist stepped in, conducting a thorough evaluation of the basement. The conclusion was clear; the PowerBrace system would offer the support and peace of mind the homeowner was seeking. PowerBraces are adjustable steel I-beams secured to the walls of the basement to stabilize and gradually straighten them. They are a perfect solution not only for providing extra support but also in instances where external excavation is impractical or too costly. Once the plan was set, our talented production team descended upon the home. Our skilled foreman and installers worked meticulously to install the PowerBrace system. Seeing the process unfold, it was like watching resolve enhance with each install; knowing with every beam added, we were one step closer to righting the ship. The outcome was everything the homeowner hoped for and more. The addition of PowerBrace to their basement not only addressed their immediate need for waterproofing and added stability but also restored their confidence in their home’s ability to withstand the tests of time and nature. Our team took great care to ensure the work was done efficiently, leaving the site cleaner than when we arrived.
