Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This homeowner just moved to this area with a job that require traveling. When he was back in town for several days, he noticed water coming into the basement through a few places. He decided to take out some of the drywall to see where the water was coming from, and found there was water all along the wall. He called Thrasher and System Design Specialist, Tom Studer, came out to meet with him. Tom showed the homeowner how the water was coming through the cold joints, where the base footing of the foundation meets the walls. This was allowing the water concentration on the outside of the house to seep in. Tom proposed we use WaterGuard at the cold joint to capture the water coming from the cracks surrounding the footing and the wall, as well as CleanSpace. CleanSpace acts as water vapor to collect any water coming through cracks on the walls. This homeowner was so happy with the final results. There is no doubt he can refinish his basement without worry of water intrusion. 

This homeowner is planning to remodel his basement and is tired of dealing with water issues. Before he starts the renovations he wants to ensure the space is waterproof. We determined that hydrostatic pressure was causing water to come through the cold joints and some wall bowing is also resulting from this. We waterproofed this basement by installing WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace. Now this homeowner can get started on that remodel!

This homeowner is redoing his entire basement and didn't want to experience any water issues that he previously had. The issue was that water was seeping in through the cold joints of the basement because of hydrostatic pressure. He installed our WaterGuard basement waterproofing system and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep his basement water-free and ready for renovation!

At first glance, this might look like your everyday basement. But if you take a closer look, you can see cracks in between the cement blocks and a white, chalky substance known as efflorescence, AKA a clear indication there has been water in your basement. After inspection, we realized hydrostatic pressure was the culprit. To waterproof, we installed a vapor barrier, an interior drainage system, and a sump pump to keep water out!

This homeowner wanted to protect her basement in the case of pump failure or a power outage. She uses her basement as storage and doesn't want her belongings to get ruined. We installed an UltraSump during our annual maintenance with this homeowner. An UltraSump is a battery backup system that includes a separate pump, battery, and charger.
