Before & After Photos

In the "before" photo from Springhill, NB, you can see large cracks in the back wall of the basement, leading to significant water leakage issues for the homeowner. To address this problem, Ridgeback Basement Systems implemented our comprehensive solution. We installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to lock out moisture and controlled potential fungus and mold build-up. Additionally, our IceGuard path ensured reliable sump pump discharge, overcoming freezing conditions, while the powerful SuperSump efficiently pumped away the excess water, preventing future flooding and keeping the basement dry and secure.

In Springhill, NS, a homeowner faced repeated basement flooding due to a leaky foundation each time it rained, as visible in the before photo. At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we effectively addressed this persistent issue by installing our state-of-the-art WaterGuard drainage system, combined with the SuperSump pump and reliable IceGuard discharge line. As seen in the after photo, these solutions work harmoniously to ensure a dry basement year-round, preventing water accumulation on floors and maintaining the structural integrity of the home with long-lasting peace of mind.

In Springhill, NS, this homeowner dealt with frequent leaks through a crack in their basement foundation whenever it rained. A temporary fix had previously been applied using masonry sealant, which failed. We implemented the FlexiSpan® system, addressing the problem thoroughly. Starting with a flexible sealant along the crack's length, followed by a porous foam strip, and finally, a secure impermeable membrane, we offered a reliable solution. Our effective strategy ensures any future seeping is directed into the drainage system, providing peace of mind against moisture issues.

In Lower Economy, NS, a homeowner faced long-standing seepage and weakened mortar in their cinder-block basement, making the space damp and unusable. In the before photo, you can see the basement's condition due to these persistent issues. We tackled this with a comprehensive waterproofing solution: CleanSpace encapsulation for effective moisture control, WaterGuard for optimal drainage, a SuperSump pump for active water removal, and IceGuard to safeguard the system against freezing discharge lines. In the after photo, observe how the space is now dry and functional, ready for use.

Notice in the before photo: the foundation issues led to severe floor cracking, support post instability, and walls bowing inward in the homeowner's Bayfield, NB basement. Water intrusion added to these concerns. To resolve this, we installed a highly reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump system. This system provides triple-level protection, ensuring pumping reliability even during power outages, thus keeping the basement dry in the wettest conditions. Coupled with the IceGuard system, the discharge line remains functional even if blocked by ice or debris, preventing water damage effectively.
