Water Damage and Mold Prevention in Des Moines, IA

This customer noticed an unpleasant smell in her basement and decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call. She was worried about her cousin's health and wanted to protect their belongings from water damage in the basement. We found that there was too much moisture in the walls, causing the moldy and musty smell. To fix this, we installed a special material called Cleanspace on more than half of the walls. This material keeps water out and prevents mold from growing, making the basement dry and healthy.

Mold Prevention in a Basement in Des Moines, IA

This customer had a problem with water getting into her basement and causing mold to grow, making it difficult for her to use the space for her quilting projects. The water was seeping in through the walls and damaging the drywall too. To tix these issues we used a combination of different methods. First, our team removed all the damaged drywall and installed something called Cleanspace. This helped prevent any more moisture from coming in and causing further problems.

We also used a system called Waterguard to manage the drainage of water within the basement. This helped to keep the space dry and prevented any more water from seeping in. To improve the air quality and reduce humidity levels, we installed a device called Sanidry Sedona. This made the basement a healthier environment and helped prevent any more mold from growing.

 

Thanks to our hard work and careful attention to detail, the customer was extremely happy with the results. She could now use her basement for quilting without worrying about water or mold issues.

The customer prioritized ensuring the structural stability of her house, having already addressed all other necessary repairs. One of the pressing issues she encountered was a bowing wall with noticeable deflection, which had worsened since the previous year.

Through the gradual application of power braces, we can safely and steadily restore the wall to its proper alignment.

 

Permanent Waterproofing in Marshalltown, IA

It was clear that there was no water protection barrier on the wall, which was causing problems for the customer. They had previously taken steps to waterproof the perimeter of the basement, but they hadn't done anything to address the issue of moisture on the walls. Their main goal was to make the basement more enjoyable by reducing moisture and preventing mold growth. They were also happy to hear that we offered a warranty that could be transferred if they ever decided to sell the house.

 

To effectively deal with the issue of wall moisture and integrate it with the existing waterproofing system, we installed CleanSpace all around the perimeter. This solution not only made the basement more enjoyable by reducing moisture levels but also fulfilled their desire for a transferable warranty for waterproofing the walls.
