"The installation team from Thrasher foundation did an awesome job waterproofing our basement, installing a dual sump pump and leaf guards onto our gutters. Kerry and his team were knowledgeable, professional, courteous and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this company." JK - Kansas City

"Sal and his team were great! Very efficient installing the waterproofing system. They wrapped the remaining items I had downstairs in plastic, and I did a great job installing plastic so the concrete dust didn't make it very far into our living spaces. As a bonus, they arrived just after a snow storm completed. When I opened the garage to let them in, they grabbed two snow shovels and shoveled my driveway for me!" Craig S - Omaha

"Dan, Hector and Jesse did a wonderful job of doing the waterproofing installation in our basement today. The explained things very well. They protected our personal property from any damage. They got everything done in a very timely manner." Lois L. - Grand Island

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is condensation and why is it happening in my basement?

  Basement condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes in contact with cool basement walls and floors. Since the basement is below grade, the air is usually colder than the outside in the summer months. As a result, the basement draws in outside air like a vacuum, causing condensation when coming into contact with the cold basement air.

• Is the SaniDry™ system portable if I ever choose to move?

  Yes, you can take it with you! We also offer a 25-year transferable warranty.

• What is this white chalky substance flaking off my basement walls?

  It is called efflorescence, and it's a mineral deposit left behind after water or moisture evaporates. You'll often find this white, chalky substance on concrete basement walls and floors around entry points, such as cracks and wall floor joints. Efflorescence isn't harmful, and although it is easy to clean, it is an indication that your basement has a water issue. Addressing the source of the water problem is essential to keep the stains from coming back - and prevent more severe water damage from occurring.

• My home was waterproofed by the builder just a few years ago. Why do I have a wet basement?

  New construction waterproofing often comes with no or a minimal warranty. There are different ways to waterproof a basement, but the most common is through a spray-on sealant on the walls, which can be damaged when a contractor backfills soil around the house. It can also crack when the house moves or shifts. Contractors usually install exterior drain tile as well. Since the tile is sitting in the dirt, it can often become silted closed or damaged during the backfill process.

• I want to finish my basement. Is there a way to guarantee a dry basement all the time?

  Thrasher Foundation Repair provides wet basement solutions with long-term warranties. Considerations include the type of waterproofing system and sump pump system you install. There are many different options to choose from, and each offers different levels of protection.

• What steps should I take to best prepare my basement for flooding?

  If you are concerned about basement flooding, there are some precautionary steps you can take. This includes removing any finished materials that you believe may come into contact with water. You should also make sure to remove items from the floor, such as furniture. If you want to keep your basement dry and protected from flooding in the future, investing in basement waterproofing solutions is your best bet.
