Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This homeowner loved to throw parties for friends and family. She was noticing her basement was becoming an issue. She was getting water in, cobwebs forming, and she was finding lots of bugs. She knew she would not be able to host if she did not fix it. She had heard great things about Thrasher and trusted we could give her the best solution. Neil Kwiatkowski, System Design Specialist, came out to meet with her. Together they decided to install CleanSpace to catch water from the wall and act as a barrier, WaterGuard our drainage channel that flows water to the sump pump, our TripleSafe sump pump to discharge water out of the home, and our dehumidifier to lower humidity levels. Check out the before and afters of this project! There is no doubt this homeowner is back to hosting her family and friends parties! 

Jimmy had water coming in through the cold joints of his basement, causing mold and anxiety about his home. Cold joints are where the footing of your home, meets the foundation walls. Through time, the soil outside of the home begins to crack and shift, which allows water to build up pressure. Once there is too much pressure, there is only one way the water can go, into your basement. After one of our expert team members evaluated the space, they were able to come up with a solution that would keep Jimmy's basement dry, and guarantee he could live stress-free. 

For Jimmy's home, a full perimeter WaterGuard was installed. This is a system that is laid next to the footing of the home, with perforated holes in the back. This allows for any water that comes through the cold joint, to be redirected to a Sump Pump, ultimately pushing the water up and out of the basement. Keeping the entire area dry. 

Longtime homeowner Mary Kay G. was having problems with water coming down one of her walls. After having another contractor come to fix the water intrusion with no luck, Mary decided to give us a call.

Service Technician Marlon Marroquin and crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, effectively keeping water out. Then encapsulated the space with CleanSpace so that water would no longer come through the walls. Mary was happy that the water would no longer be a problem.

These homeowners are a military family and are stationed in this area. Though they do not know how long they will be staying in this home, they knew they wanted to make sure there are no issues. They found water getting into their basement. They knew of Thrasher reputation, and have heard the great things about us, so they gave us a call. Wes Marshall, System Design Specialist, came out to meet them. Wes saw how the water was coming into the utility room. There was insulation up on the walls, and the homeowners did not want to take it down. Wes got the okay to remove a bit of it, and found mold on the other side. He recommended we use our CleanSpace to act as a barrier between the wall and basement. It is a waterproof, mold prevention tarp like material that is very sturdy. Water can trickle down the other side, keeping out of the basement and sending it into their waterproofing system. The homeowners were very excited with how the room now feels and looks. There is no doubt that they do not need to worry about their water and mold issues anymore! Check out the before and after photos below! 

This homeowner faced a common issue with their house: a dirt crawl space that posed various risks to their health, energy bills, and foundation. Recognizing the importance of addressing this concern, we implemented an effective solution using CleanSpace. Acting as a protective layer between the home and the underlying soil, CleanSpace provides a multitude of benefits.

One of the primary advantages of CleanSpace is its ability to prevent water from entering the home through the foundation walls. This is crucial as foundation walls often experience water leakage through mortar joints, cold joints, cracks, and window seals. By installing CleanSpace, we created a barrier that effectively blocks any potential water intrusion.

Moreover, CleanSpace offers numerous advantages for homeowners. Its attractive and bright appearance enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the crawl space. Additionally, the tough and vapor-proof liner reduces humidity levels, inhibiting the growth of mold and pest infestations. This, in turn, promotes a healthier living environment while also reducing maintenance costs.

Furthermore, CleanSpace contributes to improved insulation, resulting in warmer floors and lower heating expenses. 

By installing CleanSpace, we not only addressed the immediate concern of the dirt crawl space but also provided long-term benefits for this homeowner.
