Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

Cindy A. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and has dealt with water issues in the basement for a majority of the 35 years she’s lived there. Lately, she’s been considering selling the home and wants to ensure it would bring maximum value, but with the wet basement she wasn’t sure it would sell. Based on our reputation and recommendations from her loved ones, she chose Thrasher to come waterproof her wet basement.

To begin the basement waterproofing project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to inspect the problems at hand. Robert concluded that the foundation had been allowing water and moisture in due to the lack of an exterior footing drain. The home was built in the 1970s and was originally constructed without one. This caused the walls to crack and begin to bow inward. To guarantee the basement stays dry permanently, Cindy had our teams install a combination of our waterproofing products. We began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier around the full perimeter of the basement. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to drain the water effectively outside. To conclude the project, our team buried the downspouts on the exterior of the home to prevent any water from building up against the foundation walls.

Cindy was not only thrilled with the outcome, but she was relieved to have her basement restored to a dry and safe environment once again. Thrasher was able to help Cindy regain her peace of mind and give her the confidence she needs by increasing her home’s value.

Kara A. is the landlord of her rental property in Hutchinson, KS and was worried about the structural damage water was having on the walls. In addition, she was worried about mold growth due to the moisture and wanted the new tenant to be able to utilize the whole home. After scheduling an appointment, she loved the detailed explanation we were able to provide.

 System Design Specialist Sean Robinson fully inspected the home, and Kara opted to have our team install our full basement waterproofing system. The team began by waterproofing the full perimeter and connecting a lateral line to waterproof the floor. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to prevent moisture and mold growth. Lastly, PowerBraces were installed on three separate walls to permanently stabilize the foundation from moving inward, and can be tightened over time to return the walls to their vertical position.

 Kara was thrilled with the team’s efficiency and dedication to quality. Our solutions transformed the basement into a livable space both structurally and aesthetically.

WaterGaurd was installed around the West wall of the home. We also installed wall anchors and earth plates on the West wall. This will help with their foundation and waterproofing needs. 

Sarah & Craig E. were tired of worrying about their basement. Anytime it would rain, they would have a mess to clean up. After getting a referral about our waterproofing solutions, they decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Miles Hodson went out to their home. Upon inspection, he was able to identify that water was coming in through the cold joint and foundation wall. The crew started with installing WaterGuard, a basement drainage system around the perimeter. Then we encapsulated the basement with CleanSpace, a thick liner to keep the walls dry. To control the levels of high humidity, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Sarah and Craig were extremely pleased to gain peace of mind in knowing their basement would stay dry.

In McPherson, KS, Tyler L. wanted to use his basement space more efficiently, but this home was built before waterproofing solutions were available. Over time, more and more water continued to seep in inflict more damage on the space. After meeting with our System Design Specialist Rob Griffin, Tyler was impressed with the thorough inspection and explanation of our permanent solutions. 

Our crews arrived at the home in McPherson, KS, and immediately began the project by installing an effective combination of our basement waterproofing solutions. The space had a damp and musty smell from the high-humidity levels and damaged walls from the hydrostatic pressure they were experiencing. We installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, SaniDry sump pump system, and our SuperSump+ to keep the basement dry year-round and give it a fresh clean smell. 

Tyler was impressed with the efficiency of our crews and the effectiveness of our solutions. He is happy to have his basement waterproofed and begin maximizing its usage.
