Before & After Photos

Linda and Louie E. are homeowners in Sioux City, IA and have felt the negative effects of a poor crawl space for years. During the winter, cold air would seep into the basement and the floors above. In the summer, hot and humid air would leak into the basement making it an uncomfortable living space to be in. Linda and Louie knew if these problems continued any longer, it would lead to more severe damage such as mold and rot. In addition, the crawl space was affecting the energy efficiency of their home making it more costly throughout the year. Linda and Louie were impressed with our thorough inspection and detailed solution to the problem. They believed our product was the best permanent solution and chose Thrasher because of our professionalism and reputation.

 System Design Specialist Corey Little began the crawl space encapsulation by installing our SilverGlo insulation that reflects and traps heat within the space. It’s an effective radiant barrier that’s also resistant to mold to keep the home energy efficient. The team also applied rim joists to seal all gaps and prevent air from escaping upward. To complete the encapsulation, they covered the entire crawl space in our CleanSpace waterproof liner to control humidity and prevent warm or cold air from entering through pipes and vents.

 Linda and Louie were more than pleased with the efficiency of our team throughout the duration of the project and our dedication to the quality of the solution we provided. They were thrilled with the result and are liberated moving forward knowing this issue won’t occur again. 

The customer was experiencing waterproofing problems in the basement of this house. Water would get into the basement when there was heavy rain. He would have to push the water over to the drain to get it out of the basement. 

We used our WaterGaurd system all the way around the basement to ensure the whole thing would stay dry. We put in full height clean space to limit the amount of water vapor getting into the home. We also used our triple safe pump to make sure they won't have to deal with the stress of a sump system failure. 

This homeowner was experiencing water in his basement whenever it rained. It got him worried his walls were going to cave in, and since this is his forever home, it's important to him to take care of it. He called Thrasher to come out for a free inspection and Nate Franson visited the home to see what was going on. Nate determined that water was entering through the cold joints and wall cracks, with two walls deflected. To fix this issue, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace to effectively drain the water; TripleSafe and PowerBrace to support the failing walls. 

The homeowner was happy we were able to save him from having to move again. His forever home is now dry and stable.

Estel T. in South Sioux City, NE was looking to do some maintenance on his home. For a while now he been having problems with water leaking in his basement. Not wanting to deal with the cleanup and mess anymore, he decided it was time to investigate waterproofing solutions. After hearing about Thrasher’s reputation, he gave us a call.

System Design Jon Young went out to Estel’s home. He was able to identify that there was no waterproofing system in place. The crew installed WaterGuard, an interior basement drainage system. Also, to keep the walls dry, they encapsulated the areas with CleanSpace, so water would no longer come through. From start to finish Estel thought the process went smoothly and was happy not to have to worry about the water anymore.

Randy N. is a retired homeowner in Lincoln, NE and has struggled to keep his finished basement dry after snow melt and the heavy amounts of rain early in the spring. Randy has used Thrasher before with a previous project and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Instead of tackling this project on his own, he decided to put his trust in Thrasher once again to repair his house’s needs.

 System Design Specialist Deon Thoene arrived at the home in Lincoln to perform a complete inspection. It was determined that the water seeping into the basement was caused by hydrostatic pressure and the existing drain tile failing to keep the water out. To combat this, the team installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system to drain water effectively year-round. Then, they applied our CleanSpace waterproof barrier to all the walls to restrict any moisture and water vapors from entering the basement. Lastly, a TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to guarantee protection from the common causes of pump failure. These three products combined provide a permanent solution to any wet basement.

Randy was thrilled with the results and couldn’t have been more pleased with the Thrasher solution once again. With our 25-year warranty in place, we were able to restore his peace of mind and make his basement a functional living space for him and his family to enjoy.
