Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This customer wanted a permanent, reliable solution to waterproofing their basement.  We installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump to keep their home dry all the time. 

This homeowner was worried because water was flooding their basement when it had never done that previously. He knew that we would do the job and figure out why the sudden flooding problem began, so he decided to give us a call.

We sent Service Technician Tony Taylor to inspect what was happening in this basement. Tony found that water was pooling in the basement corner due to cracks in the walls and a hole that a plumber had accidentally drilled into the plumbing line.

After this conclusion, Tony determined that the walls were not at risk, as we had previously stabilized them; however, to prevent water from coming in, he needed to fully waterproof and repair the holes in the plumbing line and the walls. Tony and his team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System in the corner that was flooding to prevent any sitting water in that corner. Then, they utilized a full-height CleanSpace Water Barrier along the walls to seal off the possibility of water seeping in from there. Finally, they moved the two exterior downspouts further away from the home to ensure that water would move away from the homeowner's basement.

With the help of a hired plumber to fix the hole in the plumbing line, the homeowner can now rest easy about his basement. He is very pleased to know that he can travel and not worry about coming home to a wet basement. 

Homeowner Star S. noticed that her sump pump was running a lot and there was a lot of water. She was worried that the existing dehumidifier was no longer working and causing problems in the basement. Concerned about the upkeep of her home, she discussed this during her annual service appointment.

Service Technician Chuck Kain was able to look at her existing dehumidifier and see that it was no longer working. He recommended that Star replace the dehumidifier with an up-to-date SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. After installing the new dehumidifier, the relative humidity went down and is now able to be controlled. Star appreciates Thrasher’s annual maintenance program for helping her with the upkeep of issues like this.

Since the 1940s Brad B.’s family has had a farmhouse. After moving into the home, he wanted to use the basement as storage, but for as long as he could remember the basement had water issues. Wanting to preserve the home, Brad’s neighbor recommended giving us a call.

We had System Design Specialist, Trevor Stokes go to his home and evaluate the problem. He was able to identify that water intrusion and bowing was occurring on three of the walls. The existing beams in the basement on some of the walls were failing as well. We fixed the problem by installing a WaterGuard system with TripleSafe to take care of the water intrusion. We also used a combination of anchors and PowerBraces to permanently stabilize the walls. The basement is completely waterproofed, and the walls are braced, giving Brad a piece of mind.

Roger and Lisa F. are proud homeowners in Granville, IA but their basement had become a nonfunctional space due to a surplus of moisture seeping in. The basement had developed into a musty and damp area they felt wasn’t a healthy enough environment to be used. However, they wanted to be able to utilize the space for living, storage, and as a playroom for their grandchildren. Roger and Lisa were familiar with our reputation of wet basement repair, and they were thrilled with the solutions we offered.

To begin the basement project, our System design Specialist Jeff McCormick arrived at the Granville, IA home to perform a thorough inspection. Roger and Lisa opted to have Thrasher install a combination of our basement waterproofing products to guarantee the space stays dry year-round. Our team began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system around the full perimeter of the basement. CleanSpace waterproof barrier was then applied to all the walls to prevent any moisture from seeping through the cracks. To discharge the collected water outside, two TripleSafe sump pump systems were installed. Lastly, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to prevent any mold growth, eliminate odors, and to keep humidity levels under control.

Roger and Lisa were ecstatic with the outcome of the project. They couldn’t believe the effectiveness and efficiency of the waterproofing solutions we offer. Thrasher was able to transform their unusable basement into a highly functional space for them and their family.
