Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This customer wanted to make their home safer so their family can live in the home for another 10 years. When we inspected, we found the house was taking on a lot of water due to the clay bowl effect. This was causing water to come inside and push their walls in, causing their home to sink. It also created gaps in the rim joists, allowing air to come in. Not only were they experiencing a wet basement, but their air quality and the structural integrity of their home were also being affected.

There are a multitude of issues going on in this home, which requires a lot of solutions. The first thing we did was install our EverBrace Wall System to help permanently support their walls and prevent them from caving in. Next, we installed a product called SilverGlow. This will help insulate and fix the gaps in the rim joists. We also installed a dehumidifier to regulate the moisture and improve the air quality. Next up, we waterproofed the basement, which is what you can see in the images above. We installed a interior drainage system to direct water to a sump pump, buried the downspouts, and installed a vapor barrier.

This homeowner’s basement was flooded because the sump pump had stopped working while they were finishing it with drywall. They didn't want anything else to be ruined. We used the WaterGuard system with full-height CleanSpace, which would provide the best protection for the walls and drywall and prevent the mold you can see in the "before" picture from entering their home. We also installed a TripleSafe sump system to protect them if their pump ever fails.

This homeowner has previously used our waterproofing services, however she did not replace her older sump pump at that time. The waterproofing solutions were working well for her, however her sump pump had stopped working, so she gave us a call. We had Service Technician Braydon Aker return to the homeowner's home with a new TripleSafe Sump Pump System ready to be installed. Once Braydon was able to install the TripleSafe, the homeowner was very happy with all of her waterproofing solutions. She was so appreciative of all the work we had done for her basement to be dry. Check our her new sump pump system!

For this couple, realizing the low-quality sump pump they had recently paid for was no longer working was extremely stressful. This time around, they called Thrasher Foundation Repair. 

We were able to remove the old pump and backup system and install a new pump with a backup pump to ensure they wouldn't regret choosing Thrasher Foundation Repair for their waterproofing needs.
