A homeowner in Wichita, KS was looking to sell her home with her daughter before the end of the year. She believed that water was coming from the neighbors home and into hers, and her daughter was tired of having to clean up the water mess on the shared wall every time. After looking into solutions online, they decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Clint Gerber to inspect the shared wall as well as the perimeter of the duplex to determine where the water was coming from and what solutions would work best for the home. Clint determined that water was getting in through the cold join along the shared foundation wall and that the neighbor's yard had grading that was not doing their water problem any favors. Water was directed directly the their side of the duplex and due to hydrostatic pressure, water only was able to get in through the cold joint. Clint suggested a few solutions that made the homeowner and her daughter extremely excited, so they scheduled a time for installation. Our installation team used WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep the basement draining water away from the floor and to direct water into the drainage system only.
The homeowner and her daughter are so excited that they never have to worry about water getting into their basement again. They expect moving to be a lot easier now. Check out their waterproofed wall!
This homeowner bought his sump pump from a company that is no longer open for service. He knew that he needed to have his sump pump inspected, but he hadn't gotten around to it until his basement started to get water in it. He had heard the we service sump pumps in his area, so he gave us a call to check his out.
We sent Service Technician Jason White to inspect the sump pump and determine what was causing it to not function anymore. Jason found that the sump pump case had rusted through and dumped oil into the pit. The pit couldn't hold the heavy rain waters and the oil, so the sump pump couldn't function at full capacity. He quickly discussed with the homeowner how to solve this problem, and Jason then installed a new sump pump to replace the old one. After the installation, Jason scheduled an annual maintenance appointment for the homeowner for next year to ensure that this new sump pump is taken care of and does not have problems with rust.
The homeowner was very happy and thankful that the sump pump was replaced and functioning properly. Check out the new sump pump!
Danny wanted to make renovations to his permanent home, but he knew he needed to address his wet basement before starting any of that. He knew of Thrasher and had heard about their products, trainings, and professionalism. He decided to call Thrasher and shortly after one of our System Design Specialists, Nate Franson, went out to meet with him. After the inspection, Nate explained to Danny how one of his walls had started to lean in a little, this was causing water to find its way into the basement from the cracks and joints. Nate proposed that Thrasher install wall anchors to stabilize his wall and help straighten it over time, as well as our CleanSpace and WaterGuard system. CleanSpace is what looks like a plastic sheet on the wall. It is a barrier between the wet wall and the basement, keeping the basement dry. The water will trickle down the inside of the CleanSpace and into the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is our drainage channel that will direct the water into a sump pump and out of the home. Danny loved this idea, and we got started! Immediately after our installation, there was a heavy rainfall. Danny and his wife woke up in the middle of the night and ran to the basement. With a sigh of relief, they heard our systems working! They heard the water running through the systems, keeping the basement completely dry. There is no doubt that Danny's big renovation plans will go off without a hitch thanks to his dry basement!
We installed a full-featured waterproofing solution for this homeowner in Bel Aire, Kansas, including CleanSpace vapor barrier, perimeter and lateral draining system, our TripleSafe sump pump and IceGuard with buried discharge. Water is the basement disrupted this homeowners work space, but now he can return to work and store his belongings secure in the knowledge that it will be clean, dry and safe.
Barry B. has lived in his home a long time. Each time it rained he would get up to 2 inches of water in his basement and it was always wet when it rained. Tired of not being able to use this space and cleaning up each time, he decided to give Thrasher a call.
We sent System Design Specialist, Dylan Hagen out to the home. He was able to identify how the water was coming in. The crew started with installing WaterGuard, which is an interior basement drainage system, that captures water before it reaches the basement floor. Then full height CleanSpace was used to encapsulate the space, to keep the walls dry. Lastly a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to capture the water from the WaterGuard system. The homeowner was extremely pleased to know that his basement would stay completely dry!
