Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a tremendous amount of water coming into her basement every time it rained. Her children's' rooms are in the basement and the walls had started to smell and show signs of mold growth. After looking into options for fixing her basement problems online, she decided that our professionalism and help with financing was her best option to fix her basement.

We sent System Design Specialist Jon Graves to inspect the basement water problem and determine what was causing water to get in as well as suggest solutions to keep the basement dry and free of mold. Jon found that water was coming in from the cracks in the walls and through the cold joints. There was existing waterproofing in place, however it wasn't functioning very well. After talking to the homeowner about a full perimeter system and a solution to prevent mold, the homeowner was very excited for her installation appointment. One of our installation teams went out to this home and they utilized WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to keep the full basement dry all the time. Then, the installation team utilized a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the basement humidity low and prevent mold growth and allergies.

The homeowner was relieved that her basement was a functioning space and that the allergies and humidity in her home would improve. Check out the newly waterproofed basement!

Deb I. and her siblings recently inherited their parent’s home in Grand Island, NE, and they wanted to have it fully inspected to ensure it’s in proper condition. They called Thrasher for their home repair needs because of our reputation and recommendations from surrounding people. During the inspection, System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick noticed the home’s crawl space had severely high moisture and humidity levels.

To combat the crawl space issues, Deb opted to have Thrasher encapsulate the entire space. Our team began by completely clearing out the crawl space, and then applied our CleanSpace moisture barrier to all floors and walls. To drain the captured water, the crew installed our SmartDrain system that alerts the homeowner if there’s ever a plumbing leak, and if there is it automatically drains the water into a dry well beneath the CleanSpace waterproof barrier. These two products work together to perform the ultimate crawl space encapsulation in order to keep it dry year-round.

Deb and her siblings were more than pleased with our crawl space solutions. They were impressed with the efficiency and display of professionalism from our team and were relieved to have their parent’s home fully repaired. Thrasher was able to restore their peace of mind by improving the quality of their new home.

Carol in Saint Paul, NE was struggling with a wet basement. She wanted to turn the basement into a living space, but water would collect anytime it rained. System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick explained our process for waterproofing.

The Thrasher crew installed WaterGuard an interior basement drainage system and a TripleSafe Sump Pump to direct the water out of the basement. We also encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace to keep water from entering again.

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.

This Homeowner was experiencing coughing and headaches caused by mold and water damage in the basement. She reached out to Thrasher to install a waterproofing solution for the basement. We installed our perimeter waterproofing system along with CleanSpace to seal out water and lead it to the TripleSafe sump pump and away from the house.
