Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Gypsum, KS, these homeowners recently purchased a home where the water table is notoriously high, and they wanted peace of mind that their basement would stay dry year-round to begin to finish it. After learning about our reputation and hearing recommendations from close friends, they gave us a call to come and inspect their problematic basement.

System Design Specialist Jon Graves arrived at the home in Gypsum, KS, and performed a full inspection. After hearing about our waterproofing solutions, the customer opted to have our waterproofing system installed around the basement’s perimeter. This system consists of our WaterGuard interior drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, and a TripleSafe sump pump to extract the water from the home.

The homeowners couldn’t have been more pleased with their Thrasher experience and the permanent solution we provided. It brings us satisfaction knowing new homeowners can now enjoy their greatest investment with restored peace of mind.

For Gary and Gail in Lincoln, NE, stopping water from getting into their basement started with their gutters. Clogged and deteriorating gutters had allowed enough water to penetrate near their foundation to cause leaks in the basement 7 times in 4 years. To redirect the water before it could become a problem, we replaced their gutters with our no-clog GutterShutter gutter system, replacing 85 feet of rotted facia in the process. With the water problem now resolved, the homeowners can start the process of transforming their basement into a place for guests and recreation rather than a source of stress. 

Melissa H. In Emerson, NE needed to do something about the bowing walls in her basement before she could make the space safe and suitable for finishing. To return support to the old, failing brick walls, we installed our Everbrace wall support system along all of the affected walls. We also installed a waterproofing system to resolve a water issue that contributed to the wall failure, making the basement clean, dry and ready to finish.

Craig W. wanted to repair and protect his driveway before the sinking and cracking he was noticing got worse. To do this, we used a 3-part concrete protection solution that started with lifting and leveling his sinking slabs. Next we sealed the joints between the slabs to prevent water from seeping beneath the slabs where it could erode away the supporting soil. Next, we applied a concrete sealant over the driveway to protect it from the normal wear and tear that chips away at concrete and shortens its lifespan. We also installed an expansion joint to relieve pressure between the street and the driveway slabs to prevent future cracking. Craig was very happy with the results, and felt good knowing that his driveway would be protected in the years ahead.

Geoff D. wanted to sell his home someday, but first he had to resolve a water problem in his basement. Before he could replace the ruined carpet and drywall, we needed someone to help him keep the basement dry - someone who would stand behind their work for the years ahead. That's why he called Thrasher Foundation Repair.

We installed our Waterguard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to capture and direct any water to the sump pump. Cleanspace vapor barrier was also installed along the basement walls to prevent water from coming into contact with drywall, keeping the space clean, dry and safe.
