Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

Roger and Lisa F. are proud homeowners in Granville, IA but their basement had become a nonfunctional space due to a surplus of moisture seeping in. The basement had developed into a musty and damp area they felt wasn’t a healthy enough environment to be used. However, they wanted to be able to utilize the space for living, storage, and as a playroom for their grandchildren. Roger and Lisa were familiar with our reputation of wet basement repair, and they were thrilled with the solutions we offered.

To begin the basement project, our System design Specialist Jeff McCormick arrived at the Granville, IA home to perform a thorough inspection. Roger and Lisa opted to have Thrasher install a combination of our basement waterproofing products to guarantee the space stays dry year-round. Our team began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system around the full perimeter of the basement. CleanSpace waterproof barrier was then applied to all the walls to prevent any moisture from seeping through the cracks. To discharge the collected water outside, two TripleSafe sump pump systems were installed. Lastly, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to prevent any mold growth, eliminate odors, and to keep humidity levels under control.

Roger and Lisa were ecstatic with the outcome of the project. They couldn’t believe the effectiveness and efficiency of the waterproofing solutions we offer. Thrasher was able to transform their unusable basement into a highly functional space for them and their family.

This customer had a failed sump pump that he inherited when he moved in. Because he has a lot of home projects going on right now, he didn't want to worry about the pumps moving forward. He wanted it fixed, fixed now, and fixed right. He had Thrasher protect his previous house and knew he wanted another Thrasher system in his new home. So we sent Tony Taylor to his home to inspect the sump pump situation.

He found that the primary pump had failed and was in two pieces at the pit's bottom. The battery backup attempted to keep the water down but slowly lost the battle with a moderate amount of rain. Upon arrival, we immediately switched out his failed pump and battery backup with a Zoeller M53 pump and an UltraSump battery backup system. After showing him his current pit and what a TripleSafe pit would be able to do for him, he decided to replace it with a TripleSafe and add in a second pump and replace the liner with something more functional that could collect and discharge the water better.

This homeowner had a problem with water getting into their house through the joints. Over time, the water found its way into the joints and then inside the house. Even though the basement wasn't used a lot, the homeowner wanted to fix the problem before moving and selling the house. They didn't want to pass the problem on to the next owner.

After getting advice, the homeowner chose Thrasher to fix the problem. They liked that we would take care of everything, offer a warranty that could be transferred to the next owner when they sell the house and that our service was recommended by their friends.

To stop the water from coming in, we put a special barrier called CleanSpace and a system called WaterGuard along the east wall. This combination keeps water from getting into the foundation. We also put in a TwinLiner and an M53 pump under the stairs. This helps collect water that comes in through the bottom of the wall or joints and moves it away from the house.

This homeowner is planning to remodel his basement and is tired of dealing with water issues. Before he starts the renovations he wants to ensure the space is waterproof. We determined that hydrostatic pressure was causing water to come through the cold joints and some wall bowing is also resulting from this. We waterproofed this basement by installing WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace. Now this homeowner can get started on that remodel!

This homeowner is redoing his entire basement and didn't want to experience any water issues that he previously had. The issue was that water was seeping in through the cold joints of the basement because of hydrostatic pressure. He installed our WaterGuard basement waterproofing system and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep his basement water-free and ready for renovation!
