Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This homeowner was concerned about doors not opening and closing properly and even had to replace a window because it wasn't working. When we performed a home inspection, we found mold and efflorescence on the walls, which is a huge sign there's water damage in the basement, and we also discovered the floors were sagging, which is a sign of structural damage. To address the water intrusion, we installed a full perimeter interior drainage track, a sump pump, and full height. And to address the structural damage, we installed smart jacks to stabilize and help bring the floor back up, and we also installed power braces to stabilize the basement walls.

This customer wanted to keep his basement dry and get rid of his ugly water-stained walls. During our inspection of the basement, we also found some efflorescence forming. To fix these problems, we installed a WaterGuard, CleanSpace, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

It was clear that there was no water protection barrier on the wall, which was causing problems for the customer. They had previously taken steps to waterproof the perimeter of the basement, but they hadn't done anything to address the issue of moisture on the walls. Their main goal was to make the basement more enjoyable by reducing moisture and preventing mold growth. They were also happy to hear that we offered a warranty that could be transferred if they ever decided to sell the house.

To effectively deal with the issue of wall moisture and integrate it with the existing waterproofing system, we installed CleanSpace all around the perimeter. This solution not only made the basement more enjoyable by reducing moisture levels but also fulfilled their desire for a transferable warranty for waterproofing the walls.

This homeowner wanted to protect their window from moisture as well as increase their curb appeal. They had used us previously for interior waterproofing in their basement, so they decided to give us a call about window moisture protection.

We sent Service Technician Brandon Rost to inspect the basement windows and determine why moisture was drawn to them. Brandon determined that the basement windows were at grade level which allowed dirt, snow, and leaves to pile up in front of them and cause potential problems of moisture. After talking to the homeowner, Brandon solved their problem by removing the dirt from around the windows and installing Poly Wells with covers to protect the windows.

The homeowner thought they looked pretty good. Check out their new Poly Wells!

This homeowner in Chariton, Iowa discovered a water leak in the early stages of finishing their basement. In order to ensure that moisture would not cause damage or cause mold growth, Thrasher Foundation Repair installed a full waterproofing system, including perimeter drainage, sump pump and vapor barrier along the walls. Now this homeowner can enjoy their new living space with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their investment is protected.
