Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This homeowner was experiencing water in his basement whenever it rained. It got him worried his walls were going to cave in, and since this is his forever home, it's important to him to take care of it. He called Thrasher to come out for a free inspection and Nate Franson visited the home to see what was going on. Nate determined that water was entering through the cold joints and wall cracks, with two walls deflected. To fix this issue, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace to effectively drain the water; TripleSafe and PowerBrace to support the failing walls. 

The homeowner was happy we were able to save him from having to move again. His forever home is now dry and stable.

Estel T. in South Sioux City, NE was looking to do some maintenance on his home. For a while now he been having problems with water leaking in his basement. Not wanting to deal with the cleanup and mess anymore, he decided it was time to investigate waterproofing solutions. After hearing about Thrasher’s reputation, he gave us a call.

System Design Jon Young went out to Estel’s home. He was able to identify that there was no waterproofing system in place. The crew installed WaterGuard, an interior basement drainage system. Also, to keep the walls dry, they encapsulated the areas with CleanSpace, so water would no longer come through. From start to finish Estel thought the process went smoothly and was happy not to have to worry about the water anymore.

Randy N. is a retired homeowner in Lincoln, NE and has struggled to keep his finished basement dry after snow melt and the heavy amounts of rain early in the spring. Randy has used Thrasher before with a previous project and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Instead of tackling this project on his own, he decided to put his trust in Thrasher once again to repair his house’s needs.

 System Design Specialist Deon Thoene arrived at the home in Lincoln to perform a complete inspection. It was determined that the water seeping into the basement was caused by hydrostatic pressure and the existing drain tile failing to keep the water out. To combat this, the team installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system to drain water effectively year-round. Then, they applied our CleanSpace waterproof barrier to all the walls to restrict any moisture and water vapors from entering the basement. Lastly, a TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to guarantee protection from the common causes of pump failure. These three products combined provide a permanent solution to any wet basement.

Randy was thrilled with the results and couldn’t have been more pleased with the Thrasher solution once again. With our 25-year warranty in place, we were able to restore his peace of mind and make his basement a functional living space for him and his family to enjoy.  

We installed CleanSpace to these basement walls! CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that attaches to the basement or crawl space walls. It does a great job of preventing water from entering your home. And you can put drywall over it, too!

When it rains a lot, homeowner Rick has to deal with water coming into his basement. On top of that, he's noticed a lot of water pooling on his patio. Rick travels a lot and always gets worried that his basement will flood when he's out of town. To ease his anxiety, he knew he needed some help. He heard about Thrasher through friends and family and decided to give us a call. Our System Design Specialist, Matt Stice, went out to Rick's home to see what was going on and come up with a solution. Matt discovered the water was coming in on the east wall in the basement. The best plan of action was to install floor-to-ceiling Cleanspace with WaterGuard on the east and south wall with a Super Sump Plus in the southeast corner to help with waterproofing. And then, to stabilize the wall, we installed Geolock Anchors.

Rick was so excited that this home he's had for 27 years is now in tip-top shape. And so thankful that he no longer has to worry about water on his basement floor when he travels.
