Basement Dry and Foundation Walls Supported in Wichita, KS
John E. was looking to finish his basement and create more living space, but he was having trouble with water coming into his basement. Water would be coming in and the temperature in the basement would never get above the 50s. The pervious homeowner had work done by Thrasher, so John decided to give us a call and learn more about solutions for foundation repair.
Service Technician Kerry Lehman went out to John’s home to see what we could do. Upon inspection Kerry found the foundation wall had deflected so far that the exterior wall was no longer on the sill plate. There was a gap letting outside air pour into the basement. The wall cracks were also allowing water to come in and keep the basement wet.
The crew started with excavating the outside and straightening the wall with the GeoLock anchors. Three of the walls were also waterproofed with WaterGaurd and full-height CleanSpace was also put on the walls to keep the water out.
