Job Stories From Trenton, NS
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.

Cracks in Foundation- Antigonish, NS

A homeowner in Antigonish, NS, had been grappling with an issue that's all too common in our area: they discovered 3 worrying cracks in their foundation. Aware that ignoring such a problem could lead to more serious and costly issues down the line, they reached out to us, Ridgeback Basement Systems, hoping for a solution that would not only address the immediate issue but also safeguard their home's integrity for the long haul. Understanding the urgency and potential severity of foundation cracks, our process kicked off with a homeowner contacting our Appointment Center. Promptly scheduling a home inspection, we sent out one of our experienced System Design Specialists to assess the situation thoroughly. After a complete evaluation, the specialist diagnosed the problem and recommended the perfect solution: our FlexiSpan system — renowned for its reliability and effectiveness in dealing with foundation cracks. Our production team installed 3 FlexiSpans, which are designed to not just seal foundation cracks but also to flex with the foundation's natural movements. This assures the homeowner that the fix isn’t just a band-aid but a long-term solution. By the conclusion of the job, the cracks were expertly sealed, drastically reducing the homeowner's worry about water infiltration and potential foundation damage. More than just resolving the immediate issue, our team ensured the homeowner felt informed and confident in the longevity of the repair — aligning perfectly with our mission to provide an exceptional customer experience and a durable solution to their home's problem.

Hello, We are purchasing a home at this address. We had our inspection done and some concerns have come up with the foundation. I will directly quote what the inspector wrote and I can also provide pictures. " 5.1. One of the smaller new built up beams is missing a pier on one side and has very poor beam/pierconnection on the other side. Recommend installing pier and improving the pier/beam connection ascurrently the beam is not capable of holding any weight.5.2. (IMPROVEMENT) Piers under the original home do not sit on footings, they appear be sitting on patiostones, one has cracked under the weight. Recommend improving the base/footings that the piers aresitting on to improve the strength of the structure and reduce the chance of any future movement." And, 6.1. Pooling water noted on the crawlspace floor. The largest amount of water was noted under a piece ofplywood, this being a low point in the crawlspace. I believe (best guess) the water to be coming from theback corner of the home, water was present in this area at the time of the inspection and the grade of thebasement floor would cause the water to move and collect under the wood. A secondary area (where theold and new foundation join) was noted to be damp and could be another area where water is entering.This could be caused by the absence of downspout leaders at that corner and a possible high water table in that area."

Foundation is in good condition however, we are having some leaking. Especially after the last rain storm. It's a block foundation so it's bound to leak we are just looking to figure out ways to deal the basement wall and moisture resulting from that. We would like to insulate the basement but we want a thorough assessment and to eliminate the moisture.

My Mom's house has an old "rubble" foundation. It has been leaking for years, and the mortar is falling off. I was wondering if you have experience with rubble foundations and if they can be repaired, or should be replaced? I have recently fixed up the eavestroughs to eliminate some water. The ground around the house tends to slope toward the foundation. I was thinking of lowering the driveway surface, building up around the house, and installing a french drain around the perimeter.
