Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

After a full waterproofing job, this basement will now stay dry all the time.

Awesome before and after of a basement waterproofing job! We installed a full perimeter drainage system and a vapor barrier!

Homeowner Nevin is beginning to buy and flip houses, and it's important to him to do it right. In this home, he wants to finish the basement but wants to address waterproofing it first. When talking to a few different companies to find the best one to get the job done. He chose Thrasher because of our reputation and clarity when discussing the scope of work. 

Anthony Salcedo inspected Nevin's house. He found the basement had leaking walls and a leaning foundation wall. The best action plan was to install an entire perimeter of wall supports, a complete perimeter drainage system, and a sump pump. 

We installed our water guard system, CleanSpace, to divert any water intrusion through the wall and then installed a sump pump with backup. Next, to fix the leaning foundation wall, we established an entire perimeter of wall anchors to take the weight off and stabilize the failing wall.

Nevin was pleased with the results and happy he chose Thrasher.

This customer was one of the 60% of Americans facing water problems in their basement. Unfortunately, water was also the reason the basement walls began to crumble too. 

To fix this, we installed CleanSpace, which is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier. To address the failing foundation walls, we installed EverBrace beams which are made of Zink-coated steel.

Both of these solutions also came with a 25-year warranty!

This homeowner was concerned about doors not opening and closing properly and even had to replace a window because it wasn't working. When we performed a home inspection, we found mold and efflorescence on the walls, which is a huge sign there's water damage in the basement, and we also discovered the floors were sagging, which is a sign of structural damage. To address the water intrusion, we installed a full perimeter interior drainage track, a sump pump, and full height. And to address the structural damage, we installed smart jacks to stabilize and help bring the floor back up, and we also installed power braces to stabilize the basement walls.
