Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

Cindy A. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and has dealt with water issues in the basement for a majority of the 35 years she’s lived there. Lately, she’s been considering selling the home and wants to ensure it would bring maximum value, but with the wet basement she wasn’t sure it would sell. Based on our reputation and recommendations from her loved ones, she chose Thrasher to come waterproof her wet basement.

To begin the basement waterproofing project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to inspect the problems at hand. Robert concluded that the foundation had been allowing water and moisture in due to the lack of an exterior footing drain. The home was built in the 1970s and was originally constructed without one. This caused the walls to crack and begin to bow inward. To guarantee the basement stays dry permanently, Cindy had our teams install a combination of our waterproofing products. We began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier around the full perimeter of the basement. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to drain the water effectively outside. To conclude the project, our team buried the downspouts on the exterior of the home to prevent any water from building up against the foundation walls.

Cindy was not only thrilled with the outcome, but she was relieved to have her basement restored to a dry and safe environment once again. Thrasher was able to help Cindy regain her peace of mind and give her the confidence she needs by increasing her home’s value.

Kara A. is the landlord of her rental property in Hutchinson, KS and was worried about the structural damage water was having on the walls. In addition, she was worried about mold growth due to the moisture and wanted the new tenant to be able to utilize the whole home. After scheduling an appointment, she loved the detailed explanation we were able to provide.

 System Design Specialist Sean Robinson fully inspected the home, and Kara opted to have our team install our full basement waterproofing system. The team began by waterproofing the full perimeter and connecting a lateral line to waterproof the floor. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to prevent moisture and mold growth. Lastly, PowerBraces were installed on three separate walls to permanently stabilize the foundation from moving inward, and can be tightened over time to return the walls to their vertical position.

 Kara was thrilled with the team’s efficiency and dedication to quality. Our solutions transformed the basement into a livable space both structurally and aesthetically.

Aaron is a homeowner in Wichita, KS, and he needed some waterproofing in the basement. He wanted to turn the basement into more living space but wanted the basement to stay dry. System Design Specialist Rob Griffin went out to Aaron’s home. He was able to recommend a permanent waterproofing solution. In the basement, we installed WaterGuard to take care of the waterproofing, encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace, and installed SuperSump Plus sump pump. Aaron was relieved to know that water would no longer be an issue.

Our team installed CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls of this unfinished basement in Wichita, KS. CleanSPace is 100% waterproof and is a great way to keep humidity out of the home. Plus it's highly durable and washable. 

Barry B. has lived in his home a long time. Each time it rained he would get up to 2 inches of water in his basement and it was always wet when it rained. Tired of not being able to use this space and cleaning up each time, he decided to give Thrasher a call.

We sent System Design Specialist, Dylan Hagen out to the home. He was able to identify how the water was coming in. The crew started with installing WaterGuard, which is an interior basement drainage system, that captures water before it reaches the basement floor. Then full height CleanSpace was used to encapsulate the space, to keep the walls dry. Lastly a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to capture the water from the WaterGuard system. The homeowner was extremely pleased to know that his basement would stay completely dry!
