Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

In Gypsum, KS, these homeowners recently purchased a home where the water table is notoriously high, and they wanted peace of mind that their basement would stay dry year-round to begin to finish it. After learning about our reputation and hearing recommendations from close friends, they gave us a call to come and inspect their problematic basement.

System Design Specialist Jon Graves arrived at the home in Gypsum, KS, and performed a full inspection. After hearing about our waterproofing solutions, the customer opted to have our waterproofing system installed around the basement’s perimeter. This system consists of our WaterGuard interior drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, and a TripleSafe sump pump to extract the water from the home.

The homeowners couldn’t have been more pleased with their Thrasher experience and the permanent solution we provided. It brings us satisfaction knowing new homeowners can now enjoy their greatest investment with restored peace of mind.

This homeowner was getting water in his basement. While this problem wasn't bothering him, he wanted to sell his house to move closer to his daughter, and his potential buyer would only purchase his house if the basement water problem was fixed. The homeowner had a friend who recommended us, so he decided to give us a call for a free estimate.

We sent System Design Specialist Chris Holmes to inspect the basement and determine the likely sources that water was coming in from. Chris found that the foundation walls had some cracking in them and that during wet times, water was finding its way in along the cracks and the unsealed corners of the wall. After discussing the solutions custom to the home with the current homeowner, Chris moved forward with scheduling an installation. Our installation team installed a WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a full-height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and they redirected the water to his sump pump to pump the water out of his basement.

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project, especially since we were able to solve his problems under his budget. The potential buyer is now moving forward to buy this home from the homeowner. Check out the newly waterproofed basement!

Water kept coming into Sharalyn's basement. No matter what she did, for several years, she could not fix this on her own. With plans to give her home to her daughter, Sharalyn wanted to get to the root cause, so her daughter's family didn't have to deal with it. She wanted a long-term solution, not a quick fix. So she called Thrasher. System Design Specialist, AJ Lavoie, went out to her home to inspect and found Sharalyn had water coming in through a crack in the basement wall. This was a sign of deflection, where the wall moves inward due to hydrostatic pressure from outside soil. 

We were able to help Sharalyn with PowerBrace to stabilize the wall in her home permanently. We also used WaterGuard to remove the headache of water coming into her basement. And then lastly, we installed our SuperSump Plus to make sure water was being directed away from her home.

Sharalyn was so happy with the final result. And more importantly, she was glad she didn't have to deal with water in her basement anymore.

A homeowner in Wichita, KS was looking to sell her home with her daughter before the end of the year. She believed that water was coming from the neighbors home and into hers, and her daughter was tired of having to clean up the water mess on the shared wall every time. After looking into solutions online, they decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Clint Gerber to inspect the shared wall as well as the perimeter of the duplex to determine where the water was coming from and what solutions would work best for the home. Clint determined that water was getting in through the cold join along the shared foundation wall and that the neighbor's yard had grading that was not doing their water problem any favors. Water was directed directly the their side of the duplex and due to hydrostatic pressure, water only was able to get in through the cold joint. Clint suggested a few solutions that made the homeowner and her daughter extremely excited, so they scheduled a time for installation. Our installation team used WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep the basement draining water away from the floor and to direct water into the drainage system only.

The homeowner and her daughter are so excited that they never have to worry about water getting into their basement again. They expect moving to be a lot easier now. Check out their waterproofed wall! 

Barry B. has lived in his home a long time. Each time it rained he would get up to 2 inches of water in his basement and it was always wet when it rained. Tired of not being able to use this space and cleaning up each time, he decided to give Thrasher a call.

We sent System Design Specialist, Dylan Hagen out to the home. He was able to identify how the water was coming in. The crew started with installing WaterGuard, which is an interior basement drainage system, that captures water before it reaches the basement floor. Then full height CleanSpace was used to encapsulate the space, to keep the walls dry. Lastly a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to capture the water from the WaterGuard system. The homeowner was extremely pleased to know that his basement would stay completely dry!
