Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

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. 

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. 

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.
