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 homeowner sought our services based on our reputation for industry-leading warranties and quality work. Aware of our extensive experience in the field, he entrusted us with an issue he was facing concerning his driveway. He wanted to ensure that his driveway was not only leveled but also protected from further deterioration.
To address His concerns, our team utilized our renowned Polylevel foam. By injecting Polylevel into a small hole in the concrete we effectively stabilized the driveway, ensuring it remained level and free from further sinking or settlement. Additionally, we sealed any existing cracks in the driveway using Nexus Pro. This proactive approach prevents the cracks from expanding and safeguards the integrity of the concrete surface.
Homeowner Star S. noticed that her sump pump was running a lot and there was a lot of water. She was worried that the existing dehumidifier was no longer working and causing problems in the basement. Concerned about the upkeep of her home, she discussed this during her annual service appointment.
Service Technician Chuck Kain was able to look at her existing dehumidifier and see that it was no longer working. He recommended that Star replace the dehumidifier with an up-to-date SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. After installing the new dehumidifier, the relative humidity went down and is now able to be controlled. Star appreciates Thrasher’s annual maintenance program for helping her with the upkeep of issues like this.
Donna W. is a homeowner in Burlington, KS, and wanted her crawl space encapsulated to prevent moisture and mold from entering her home. Often, crawl spaces that aren’t properly sealed have a severe impact on the efficiency of the home and cause the air to become harmful. After reviewing our reputation and meeting with one of our System Design Specialists, Donna instantly knew we were the company to provide the best permanent solution.
Our crews arrived at the home in Burlington, KS, and fully encapsulated the crawl space using our CleanSpace waterproof barrier, installing drain tile around the perimeter, and burying all downspouts to ensure the space stays dry year-round. Donna couldn’t have been more pleased with her Thrasher experience and the efficiency of our crews. She was genuinely concerned about the safety of her home, and she now has restored peace of mind knowing her home is permanently safe.
Since the 1940s Brad B.’s family has had a farmhouse. After moving into the home, he wanted to use the basement as storage, but for as long as he could remember the basement had water issues. Wanting to preserve the home, Brad’s neighbor recommended giving us a call.
We had System Design Specialist, Trevor Stokes go to his home and evaluate the problem. He was able to identify that water intrusion and bowing was occurring on three of the walls. The existing beams in the basement on some of the walls were failing as well. We fixed the problem by installing a WaterGuard system with TripleSafe to take care of the water intrusion. We also used a combination of anchors and PowerBraces to permanently stabilize the walls. The basement is completely waterproofed, and the walls are braced, giving Brad a piece of mind.
