This homeowner had a problem with water getting into their house through the joints. Over time, the water found its way into the joints and then inside the house. Even though the basement wasn't used a lot, the homeowner wanted to fix the problem before moving and selling the house. They didn't want to pass the problem on to the next owner.
After getting advice, the homeowner chose Thrasher to fix the problem. They liked that we would take care of everything, offer a warranty that could be transferred to the next owner when they sell the house and that our service was recommended by their friends.
To stop the water from coming in, we put a special barrier called CleanSpace and a system called WaterGuard along the east wall. This combination keeps water from getting into the foundation. We also put in a TwinLiner and an M53 pump under the stairs. This helps collect water that comes in through the bottom of the wall or joints and moves it away from the house.
Street creep is a foundation problem caused by the thermal expansion of concrete roads, sidewalks, and pavement surrounding a home. This homeowner was experiencing those issues before the installation of this expansion joint. Expansion joints take the pressure off the foundation wall and create space between the foundation, driveway, and other concrete slabs.
This customer was tired of worrying about visitors tripping on his steps and called us for help. They had settled an incredible 7" in some places and 4" in other spots! We used Polylevel foam to left and level the steps back to their original position and we finished everything off by sealing the concrete with Nexuspro to protect him moving forward.
This homeowner is planning to remodel his basement and is tired of dealing with water issues. Before he starts the renovations he wants to ensure the space is waterproof. We determined that hydrostatic pressure was causing water to come through the cold joints and some wall bowing is also resulting from this. We waterproofed this basement by installing WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace. Now this homeowner can get started on that remodel!
This homeowner is redoing his entire basement and didn't want to experience any water issues that he previously had. The issue was that water was seeping in through the cold joints of the basement because of hydrostatic pressure. He installed our WaterGuard basement waterproofing system and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep his basement water-free and ready for renovation!
