Hello, Last year during one of the big rains our basement flooded. There is a drain piped to sewer in the garage that usually works but did not on that day. Interested in getting a quote to install a sump pit / pump in this location. Thanks Jeff

Leak in basement wall

There was water leak in my basement during the heavy downpour that came with the hurricane in 2023. Although there has not been any leakage observed during normal rain, I want to find out the source of the previous leakage and seal it up before insulating my basement

Testimonials from our customers in Dartmouth, NS Brenda G. Cranberry Cres

We would definitely recommend Ridgeback to our friends and family based on the service, and we hope to do the same for the product, but we’ll have to see after the winter.

Jerry L. Fieldwood

I was very impressed with your guy Mitch. I found Mitchell's work ethic amazing. We had a challenging project and he was always eager to jump in and do the dirty work without one hint of complaining. There were many times I saw him run (not walk) to and from the van for gear. He was also pleasant to deal with when answering my enquiries. This combination of work ethic, customer service skills and the attitude of
get the job done to please the customer is not normal for his age group. He is a keeper. Also thank Kris for guiding me in the direction we took. He knew his stuff, making it easy for me to make the right decisions.

Shelly S. Sarah Cres.

You have an amazing team, all great guys ... pleasant, respectful and very helpful throughout the entire process. I wouldn't say there were no hiccups but over all great guys and very professional. I can't say enough about Khris, he is such an professional always making me feel like he was doing the job for himself. Always kept me in the loop and very easy to talk to and understanding with all of my concerns. Sidney is an awesome worker and absolutely awesome at what he does. Todd was also very helpful in the beginning. I can't say enough you guys have been amazing and I am looking forward to my nice dry basement. I would also like to thank everyone that was involved with our renovation project because I don't remember everyone's name but all the workers on this project did a great job. Thank you so much for all you have done. I would recommend you guys to anyone that had any water problems you definitely are top notch. Thanks again for everything. Khris I can't thank you enough for your fantastic professional service.

Sarah W. Autumn Place

I’m very impressed with your company… from the very beginning, through the whole process.

I had 4 companies come to look at my “flood” and your guy (Steve) was by far the most knowledgeable and most respectful.

Your installation team were also very respectful and hard working!

I’m also amazed at how much water is coming out from under my house…. it’s like I’ve been living in a house boat! It was pumping out about every 30 seconds for the first few hours.

The pump is very quiet too. I was worried that it would be noisy under my TV room but I can barely hear it, in fact I think I only hear it because I’ve been listening for it.

I would recommend you to anyone…. in fact all houses should come with sump pumps! Sarah

Carol S. Piper Street

We were very pleased with the two employees who did the work for us. They were polite and also careful while doing the job.

Violet G. Attwood Cres

Thanks for sending a cheque, even though it was a pretty small reimbursement, it reflects the values and ethics of your company. The majority of businesses would have kept the money which shows that they do not value their customers.

After the crew installed the sump pump, we had a look and was really impressed by the quality of the pumps and how neat and tidy they were installed. We've heard the system kick in several times this winter. Having the back up battery has brought us peace of mind.

Keith D. Settle Street

Thanks for checking in. I'm happy to report that I've had no water issues in my basement (knock on wood)!

The french drain has made a favorable difference by reducing pooling water in the back yard. I notice lots of water near the road so I know the pipe is doing its job.

The Triple Safe appears well. I'm not sure how often it runs because it is quite quiet. I am happy I chose that pump and had the electrical work done, I consider it a wise investment.

I plan on getting the Triple Safe maintained by your company on a yearly basis so I know we'll be in touch.

Peter T. Regent Drive

I chose your company because of the unique products specifically designed for basement waterproofing and the clean look of the installations. The people from the company were good to work with.

Eric M. Glenwood Ave

WaterWatch Alarm ensures a Dry Basement.

Something tripped the outlet that the pump is on, and we were very close to getting water in the basement. Luckily, my stepson was home when the alarm went off, and was able to reset the outlet for me. The alarm saved us from a flooded basement.

Carl B.

I was impressed with the entire Ridgeback team. Every stage of the process was seamless and was able to get information from each person. Very organized, friendly and on top of their stuff. I will recommend the company to everyone

Doug H. Joffre St

We spent thousands of dollars and were never given a receipt of monies paid and work completed by Ridgeback Basement Systems.

Sending out surveys is a really good idea.

We are in Cole Harbour at the bottom of a hill. We seem to be receiving all the water from up the hill. We had dry wells built into the back, but it is clear that there is too much water and it needs an out. We are looking for estimates as we are tired of being out with pumps every time there is a heavy rain. Thank you

Project Location: Dartmouth, NS

Would like an assessment of my crawlspace (dirt floor) as have concerns regarding moisture and pests. Look at current barrier situation, sump pump, and foundation stability. Also from your website it appeared that you can assess attic space - if this is the case, I would also like an assessment there as well. Venting.

Older house, foundation in various states of age/condition. Water is flowing quite fast and strong under and along the foundation wall (mostly on one side) and flooding the unusable/storage only basement. I'm worried the water is under cutting the foundation wall, plus I'd rather have a dry storage area.
