Before & After Photos

Victor G. owns a home in Independence, MO, and is getting ready to sell. However, he is getting water in his basement and needed to fix that prior to putting the house on the market. 

He called Thrasher Foundation Repair and our experts had the solution for him. We installed WaterGuard waterproofing system around the perimeter of the basement. We also installed a vapor barrier called Clean Space for the full height of the walls. Victor is happy to have his problem solved and excited to be able to put his home on the market.

This homeowner hated how dirty her crawlspace was because it was started to smell and stink up the whole house! She gave us a call and knew from the minute our System Design Specialist Josh Krestine walked in the door with a smile on his face and wanting to just help out with whatever he could that she wanted to work with us. Josh spoke with the homeowner about the problems she was experiencing, then he went down to the crawlspace and determined the source of her problems. He found what water and moisture was flowing under the foundation walls and releasing water vapor into the crawlspace. After seeing this, Josh worked the homeowner into the schedule for installation quickly so that she wouldn't need to deal with this foul smell for much longer. Our installation team came out to the home in just 1 day and they used a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with drain matting to help keep water down and out of the crawlspace. The homeowner was so happy with her newly refreshed home and she can't wait to use her space as storage too. Check out her crawlspace transformation!

This homeowner noticed a sagging floor in their home after living there for a few years. As the years passed, they noticed the problem had become noticeably worse and it raised some real concerns. Ultimately, the homeowner decided to fix the problem before it got worse and became too far gone, so they called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Tiberghien to inspect the crawl space and determine the cause and solutions for this homeowner's sagging floor. Nick noticed that there was a large gap between the baseboard and the floor, and that you would feel the cooler air coming from the crawlspace. He determined that there was a lack of support underneath the floor due to the high moisture content that weakened the floor supports. Reassuring the homeowners that this was a fixable issue, Nick and his team got right to work on installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floors and lift them to their original position. After this, they installed a SmartSump to control the soil moisture and a CleanSpace vapor barrier to help reduce the humidity caused by water in the air. 

The homeowner was happy that the floors were able to be raised and that the water issue was addressed. Check out this homeowner's crawl space restoration!

Our customer in Aurora, MO was noticing high humidity levels in their crawlspace and needed to get the problem solved before they got mold or any other structural issues began to happen. They called Thrasher to come out and help them with the problem and determine the cause and our solutions. 

After Inspection, the team noticed the sump pump they had installed previously was barely working and not collecting any water causing the high humidity in the crawl space. The crew removed the old pump and properly installed our TripleSafe sump pump in the space. The TripleSafe sump pump is composed of three separate pumps protecting the space from water and safely flowing it away from the crawl space, solving humidity issues, and protecting the home from future potential damages. 

This homeowner was experiencing problems with water in her basement, and the noticed a musty smell start to develop. After looking around for who could help her, she gave us a call for a free estimate.

We sent System Design Specialist Jimmy Hungerford to inspect the basement and determine where the water was getting in, as well as where the smell was coming from. Jimmy found that water was coming in the because of hydrostatic pressure against the foundation wall. The pressure forced water into cracks and weak spots in the foundation. The water then traveled through the drywall and onto the floor which also caused mold to grow behind the homeowner's drywall. Jimmy discussed the problem with the homeowner then demonstrated what solutions would fix this, and the homeowner couldn't wait to see what her finished product would look like. Our team used a TripleSafe Sump Pump System as well as WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to give water a proper drainage path and to seal off the moisture in the air. These systems will also help to prevent water from pooling in the basement in the future, as well as prevent mold from growing in the drywall. 

The homeowner was quite pleased with her new waterproofing systems. Check out her new interior basement systems!
