Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

Steve B. is a homeowner in Pocahontas, IA and decided he wanted to finish his basement. However, he has been dealing with water in his basement for several years and needed to have it taken care of first. Steve was very familiar with our reputation and knew that we have a warranty in place that we stand behind. He chose Thrasher because we always take care of our customers and provide a permanent solution.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Zak Kephart arrived in Pocahontas, IA to perform a thorough inspection of the water damage. It was determined the water was coming in through the cold joints every time it rained, but only in a few areas. To fix the problem, our team installed WaterGuard around the perimeter for drainage and CleanSpace to capture any water seeping through the walls. These two products combined provide a permanent waterproofing solution.

 Steve was more than pleased with the quality and efficiency of the work the crew did. He can now remodel his basement with confidence it’s built for the test of time.

Stephen P. is a homeowner in Olathe, KS, and has been battling water issues in the basement for the past year. Actively looking for a new home that suits his family better, Stephen knew he would have to have the wet basement repaired to increase its value. After researching possible contractors, Stephen immediately chose Thrasher because of our reputation and plethora of reviews. 

Our crews arrived at the home in Olathe and installed our ultimate waterproofing system that consists of our WaterGuard interior french drain installed around the perimeter of the walls, a CleanSpace waterproof barrier applied to the full height of the walls, and a TripleSafe sump pump system to excavate all the captured moisture. 

In Atlantic, IA, Eileen J. was eager to have the water problems in her basement solved. Her basement was finished, but the continuous water intrusion was creating a mud build-up and ruining the space. Looking for a permanent solution, she contacted Thrasher for a full inspection and demonstration of our products. 

Our System Design Specialist Tony Taylor determined the water was seeping in through the cold joints and flooding the basement. She opted to have our crews install our full perimeter WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier to collect all water and direct it away from the foundation. 

Eileen was impressed with our solutions and dedication to quality repairs. These are the projects that remind us of why we do what we do, to restore our customer's peace of mind and improve their lives.  

This customer didn't want to have to worry about mold and odors in their caused by high humidity. Our team determined that the humidity levels were high in the basement due to a failing dehumidifier no longer providing adequate protection. To stop the humidity in this home, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now this homeowner will no longer have to worry about mold and odors!

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!
