Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

Clara R. is a homeowner in Emporia, KS, and has been struggling with water in the basement for a long time. She decided it was time to have her home repaired and protected to bring her peace of mind and continue living in her forever home. Thrasher was recommended to Clara by her neighbor that also utilized our basement waterproofing solutions.

To begin the waterproofing project, our System Design Specialist, Josh Brown, arrived at the home in Emporia, KS, and performed a full inspection on the wet basement. Josh determined that water was seeping through the basement walls from the lack of cold joints in the home’s foundation. To permanently fix this, our teams installed our ultimate basement waterproofing solution – WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe sump pump system. WaterGuard is our interior basement drainage system that traps all water and drains through the sump pump system. CleanSpace is an innovative waterproof barrier that is applied to the walls to contain moisture and guide water into the WaterGuard drainage system. Our TripleSafe system is the most reliable sump pump available, and it’s guaranteed to keep the basement dry year-round. These three products work together to give the home the waterproofing it needs.

Clara was overjoyed with her Thrasher experience and the basement waterproofing solutions our team provided. She protected her forever home and can now live a better life with the confidence of having a full waterproofed home.

Marcy just purchased her home and wanted to use her basement for storage without worrying about mold, mildew, or water damage. But she noticed water would leak into the basement frequently when it rained. Marcy also runs a daycare from home and wants to ensure her home is as safe as possible for the little kiddos. 

System Design Specialist, Nate Franson, got on-site to check out where the water was coming from. He found water would leak in multiple locations from the cold foundation joint, especially during heavy rains. It seemed the previous owners attempted to address wall support failure with weep holes along the bottom of the foundation wall, which only added to the water problem. On top of that, some of the foundation walls had stress cracks from the pressure, which would also leak at times. 

To keep the water out, we planned to install an entire perimeter of WaterGuard, full-height CleanSpace, and a lateral line. We tied into her existing sump and went around her current wall support with extended bottom brackets.

The result was great, and now Marcy won't have to deal with water in her basement anymore. 

This homeowner wanted to ensure that her basement was safe and waterproofed so that she could start using it as extended living space. She had used our services in a prior home, so she knew just who to call when it came to her new waterproofing needs.

We sent Service Technician Andrew Davis to inspect the basement and determine what was preventing her from using this space now as well as install solutions to fix the found problems. Andrew found that one of the walls containing a shelf was deflecting inward, causing an unstable foundation wall and some water to start leaking in through the cracks in the wall. He knew just how to fix this problem, so after discussing his solution with the homeowner, he got right to work on installing PowerBraces to help push back the wall over time, then he installed Waterguard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to effectively waterproof the basement space.

The homeowner was very happy with the outcome of the projects and she couldn't' wait to start using her space more effectively now. Check out the basement waterproofing and structural systems!

Marcy A. is looking to remodel the basement but has been dealing with water coming in throughout the last couple of years. She removed some paneling and noticed that water as also coming in from the concrete walls.  Before starting the remodeling, she wanted to get the water to stop coming in. After getting recommendations from family about Thrasher, they decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Jordan Comstock went out to Marcy’s home. He was able to find that the water was coming in through the cold joints and form ties. The water was also building up along the foundation walls.  We waterproofed the area with WaterGuard and installed full height CleanSpace. Marcy was happy to be able to continue with the remodeling and to never have to worry about water coming in again!

The customer was experiencing waterproofing problems in the basement of this house. Water would get into the basement when there was heavy rain. He would have to push the water over to the drain to get it out of the basement. 

We used our WaterGaurd system all the way around the basement to ensure the whole thing would stay dry. We put in full height clean space to limit the amount of water vapor getting into the home. We also used our triple safe pump to make sure they won't have to deal with the stress of a sump system failure.
