Janet P. recently purchased her home and unfortunately discovered water problems with her basement. The problem was the north wall had stair-step cracking. Upon inspection, the Thrasher team found additional issues with the east wall. We stabilized the east wall with Carbon Armor and tackled the north wall problem with c-channel. We also waterproofed the entire basement and installed a Triple Safe Sump Pump.
We recently assisted a homeowner with a common issue: clogged gutters causing potential water damage. To address this concern and help the homeowner enjoy their property for the long term, we installed Raindrop Gutter Guards. This innovative solution prevents debris from entering the gutters, ensuring water flows smoothly and reducing the risk of future damage. Our team provided a comprehensive solution that not only resolved the immediate problem but also offered long-lasting protection for the homeowner's peace of mind.
The EverBrace wall system was able to permanently stabilize and support this failing foundation. The steel beams and panels are able to transfer the weight of the home off the wall and onto the new wall system!
Ross, at the local VFW Post 1174 in El Dorado, KS knew it was time to address the water in the basement of the building. This was limiting the storage and workspace that they needed to expand their services to local Veterans. Ross liked the reputation we had on the local radio station, KBFR, and knew Thrasher would get the job done right. El Dorado is located near a large lake, where bedrock is shallow allowing for overflow. This, and the soft soil around the footing of the structure, allows for water and pressure to build up in the fill soil. Over time, this pressure causes water to enter the building through the footing of the foundation.
For this project, WaterGuard was used at the footing of the foundation, this product is designed for water to flow through the open holes and naturally flow towards a Sump Pump. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed for this project, meaning there are three "fail-safes," for the pump. It will work for a large amount of water with the triple backup. CleanSpace was then installed for more protection, as deterioration was starting to happen with years of water buildup.
Anita was in desperate need of some waterproofing for a rental property in Enterprise, KS. She wanted a permanent solution that would work and not require upkeep and decided to give Thrasher a call.
System Design Specialist Jon Graves went out to the home and was able to identify that water was coming in through one of the walls. The crew waterproofed the whole basement by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard and encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace. Anita was thrilled never to worry about waterproofing again!
