Waterproofing Solutions at VFW in El Dorado, KS.

Ross, at the local VFW Post 1174 in El Dorado, KS knew it was time to address the water in the basement of the building. This was limiting the storage and workspace that they needed to expand their services to local Veterans. Ross liked the reputation we had on the local radio station, KBFR, and knew Thrasher would get the job done right. El Dorado is located near a large lake, where bedrock is shallow allowing for overflow. This, and the soft soil around the footing of the structure, allows for water and pressure to build up in the fill soil. Over time, this pressure causes water to enter the building through the footing of the foundation. 

For this project, WaterGuard was used at the footing of the foundation, this product is designed for water to flow through the open holes and naturally flow towards a Sump Pump. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed for this project, meaning there are three "fail-safes," for the pump. It will work for a large amount of water with the triple backup. CleanSpace was then installed for more protection, as deterioration was starting to happen with years of water buildup.
