Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

Jimmy had water coming in through the cold joints of his basement, causing mold and anxiety about his home. Cold joints are where the footing of your home, meets the foundation walls. Through time, the soil outside of the home begins to crack and shift, which allows water to build up pressure. Once there is too much pressure, there is only one way the water can go, into your basement. After one of our expert team members evaluated the space, they were able to come up with a solution that would keep Jimmy's basement dry, and guarantee he could live stress-free. 

For Jimmy's home, a full perimeter WaterGuard was installed. This is a system that is laid next to the footing of the home, with perforated holes in the back. This allows for any water that comes through the cold joint, to be redirected to a Sump Pump, ultimately pushing the water up and out of the basement. Keeping the entire area dry. 

This homeowner was worried because water was flooding their basement when it had never done that previously. He knew that we would do the job and figure out why the sudden flooding problem began, so he decided to give us a call.

We sent Service Technician Tony Taylor to inspect what was happening in this basement. Tony found that water was pooling in the basement corner due to cracks in the walls and a hole that a plumber had accidentally drilled into the plumbing line.

After this conclusion, Tony determined that the walls were not at risk, as we had previously stabilized them; however, to prevent water from coming in, he needed to fully waterproof and repair the holes in the plumbing line and the walls. Tony and his team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System in the corner that was flooding to prevent any sitting water in that corner. Then, they utilized a full-height CleanSpace Water Barrier along the walls to seal off the possibility of water seeping in from there. Finally, they moved the two exterior downspouts further away from the home to ensure that water would move away from the homeowner's basement.

With the help of a hired plumber to fix the hole in the plumbing line, the homeowner can now rest easy about his basement. He is very pleased to know that he can travel and not worry about coming home to a wet basement. 

This customer had a failed sump pump that he inherited when he moved in. Because he has a lot of home projects going on right now, he didn't want to worry about the pumps moving forward. He wanted it fixed, fixed now, and fixed right. He had Thrasher protect his previous house and knew he wanted another Thrasher system in his new home. So we sent Tony Taylor to his home to inspect the sump pump situation.

He found that the primary pump had failed and was in two pieces at the pit's bottom. The battery backup attempted to keep the water down but slowly lost the battle with a moderate amount of rain. Upon arrival, we immediately switched out his failed pump and battery backup with a Zoeller M53 pump and an UltraSump battery backup system. After showing him his current pit and what a TripleSafe pit would be able to do for him, he decided to replace it with a TripleSafe and add in a second pump and replace the liner with something more functional that could collect and discharge the water better.

This homeowner experienced water seepage after heavy rain due to missing cracks and control joint leaks. Thrasher's free inspection identified the problem, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump installation now keeps the basement dry – a permanent solution for peace of mind!
