Job Stories From New Glasgow, NS
Basement Waterproofing- Abercrombie, NS

In Abercrombie, NS, dealing with basements that invite water more than guests is something practically seen as a neighborhood tradition. However, one homeowner had enough when they found their basement ankles deep in water after small rainstorms. Understanding the interruption of their peace and the potential harm to their home’s foundation, they reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems for a permanent fix. Upon their call, we promptly dispatched a System Design Specialist to assess their water ordeal. The verdict wasn’t uncommon – the basement needed an overhaul to ward off unwanted water for good. Our recommended course of action: the installation of WaterGuard, an innovative interior perimeter drainage system, coupled with the dependable TripleSafe Sump Pump. These products are specially designed to smartly collect water and expel it away from the home, ensuring a dry basement regardless of heavy rains outside. Once we got the green light from the homeowner, our production team rolled up their sleeves and got to work. The magic of their work wasn’t just in the installation. It was the care to conceal the system beneath a layer of cement after placement, making the intervention almost invisible to the unaware eye. Placing the TripleSafe Sump Pump was the grand finale, ensuring that even the highest volume of water would be efficiently driven away from the property. Fast forward, the transformation astounded the homeowner. Not only did our solutions turn their basement water woes into a tale of the past, but we also handed back a piece of mind that was long missing every time dark clouds loomed. The homeowner now laughs off rainstorms, knowing their basement is shielded with the industry's rust-resistant, lasting solution. Ridgeback Basement Systems stood true to providing a remarkable customer experience, leaving nothing behind but satisfaction and a dry basement.

Crack Repairs in Antigonish

Recently, in the quaint town of Antigonish, NS, we had the pleasure of helping a homeowner tackle a nagging problem that kept them up at night – a crack in their basement foundation. Understanding the stress and potential damage such issues can bring, they reached out to our dedicated team, seeking a reliable and long-lasting solution. The process kicked off with a call to our Appointment Center, who promptly scheduled a thorough home inspection. Our System Design Specialist then carefully examined the issue, diagnosing the cause and extent of the foundation crack. It was clear that what this basement needed was our FlexiSpan system – a cutting-edge solution designed to seal foundation cracks permanently and prevent leakages effectively. Following agreement on the proposed solution, our expert production team swung into action. Led by an experienced foreman, the installers got down to work, employing precision and care to install FlexiSpan, ensuring that the crack was completely sealed off. Our product doesn't just offer a momentary fix; it’s engineered to adapt to the natural movements of the foundation, preventing future leaks and giving absolute peace of mind. By the time our team cleaned up and packed their tools, the transformation was evident. Not only had we sealed the crack, but we had also restored the homeowner's faith in their basement's durability against the elements. The homeowner was elated with the outcome, praising the professionalism of our team, the efficiency of our process, and the exceptional quality of FlexiSpan. This job, like many others we undertake, reflects our mission – providing a remarkable customer experience and deploying reliable solutions that stand the test of time. For the homeowner in Antigonish, the worry is a thing of the past, and the basement is secure once more.

Waterproofing Two Properties in Antigonish, NS

Recently, a homeowner in Antigonish, NS, called us facing a challenge that had been troubling them for a while – her basements in 2 different properties, had turned into an unwanted indoor pool, thanks to persistent water issues. Understandably concerned about the damage and prospect of continued water intrusion, she reached out to us, eager for a lasting solution. Upon receiving their call, our first step was to dispatch our System Design Specialist to conduct a comprehensive home inspection. The issue was clear: an ineffective water drainage system that simply couldn't handle the rigors of intense weather conditions. After diagnosing the problem, we recommended a combination of our trusted WaterGuard interior drainage system and the reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump. The homeowner was thoroughly briefed on how these solutions would work together to address their water woes. Encouraged by our approach, she entrusted us to proceed. Our production team, featuring skilled foremen and dedicated installers, arrived at the home ready to tackle the task. They efficiently installed the WaterGuard system, which is specifically designed to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and direct it away from the foundation. Alongside, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was set up, an indispensable line of defense primed to handle the highest volumes of water and equipped with a battery backup system for those stormy days when the power might go out. Upon completion of the installation, the cleanup began, leaving the homes in pristine condition – as if we were never there, except, of course, for the brand-new waterproofing systems snugly in place ready to do their job. The outcome? A remarkably dry basement restored peace of mind for the homeowners, and the knowledge that they had a reliable and long-lasting solution guarding her homes.
