Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

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.

In McPherson, KS, Tyler L. wanted to use his basement space more efficiently, but this home was built before waterproofing solutions were available. Over time, more and more water continued to seep in inflict more damage on the space. After meeting with our System Design Specialist Rob Griffin, Tyler was impressed with the thorough inspection and explanation of our permanent solutions. 

Our crews arrived at the home in McPherson, KS, and immediately began the project by installing an effective combination of our basement waterproofing solutions. The space had a damp and musty smell from the high-humidity levels and damaged walls from the hydrostatic pressure they were experiencing. We installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, SaniDry sump pump system, and our SuperSump+ to keep the basement dry year-round and give it a fresh clean smell. 

Tyler was impressed with the efficiency of our crews and the effectiveness of our solutions. He is happy to have his basement waterproofed and begin maximizing its usage. 

This customer had mold growing in the basement of his business. The mold was growing in a dirt portion of his basement. In an effort to fix this issue, the customer had a dehumidifer installed by a local HVAC company last year. But the mold was still thriving. That's when he decided to contact Midwest - to get rid of the mold and ensure the air is clean in his store for his employees and customers.

Brock Scott, a System Design Specialist at Midwest, went to the property to inspect. He found that the dirt floor wasn't preventing ground water seepage increasing the humidity of the area. And that dirt was growing mold from such a high humidity.

To fix this, we encapsulated the basement, similar to how we would a crawl space, to protect the air above it. We also installed drain lines and sumps to drain any surface water under the liner. And lastly, the crew also used a Sedona to dry the air while they were working since the area had 87% humidity at one point.

The customer was happy that his store is now safe for his customers and employees.

Cheryl H. has been dealing with a water problem in her basement for quite awhile and had become more then frustrated with the situation. She bought her home 4 years ago. About 6 months after moving in, she noticed water pouring into her basement. To add to the issue, Cheryl loves to travel and became extremely worried about how that would effect her ability to leave her home and have the peace of mind that everything was going to be safe at home.

In an attempt to fix it themselves, Cheryl H and one of her friends grab some sealant, but it was a band aid fix. In a short period of time, the water returned.  She thought it was a plumbing issue so she called another contractor to help.  Once again this did not fix the problem and she did not know where to turn. After seeing multiple TV ad's and all of the Thrasher trucks around Wichita and surrounding community's she knew she had to make the call.

We installed a WaterGuard system that captures water and then redirects it to our SuperSump Plus that removes the water away from the home. We also installed CleanSpace to her basement walls creating a protective barrier to prevent water from reaching the basement but also preventing mold to grow. 

Sarah & Craig E. were tired of worrying about their basement. Anytime it would rain, they would have a mess to clean up. After getting a referral about our waterproofing solutions, they decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Miles Hodson went out to their home. Upon inspection, he was able to identify that water was coming in through the cold joint and foundation wall. The crew started with installing WaterGuard, a basement drainage system around the perimeter. Then we encapsulated the basement with CleanSpace, a thick liner to keep the walls dry. To control the levels of high humidity, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Sarah and Craig were extremely pleased to gain peace of mind in knowing their basement would stay dry.
