Before & After Photos

Cindy A. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and has dealt with water issues in the basement for a majority of the 35 years she’s lived there. Lately, she’s been considering selling the home and wants to ensure it would bring maximum value, but with the wet basement she wasn’t sure it would sell. Based on our reputation and recommendations from her loved ones, she chose Thrasher to come waterproof her wet basement.

To begin the basement waterproofing project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to inspect the problems at hand. Robert concluded that the foundation had been allowing water and moisture in due to the lack of an exterior footing drain. The home was built in the 1970s and was originally constructed without one. This caused the walls to crack and begin to bow inward. To guarantee the basement stays dry permanently, Cindy had our teams install a combination of our waterproofing products. We began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier around the full perimeter of the basement. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to drain the water effectively outside. To conclude the project, our team buried the downspouts on the exterior of the home to prevent any water from building up against the foundation walls.

Cindy was not only thrilled with the outcome, but she was relieved to have her basement restored to a dry and safe environment once again. Thrasher was able to help Cindy regain her peace of mind and give her the confidence she needs by increasing her home’s value.

These homeowners just had moved into their new condo, and not even a year later their brand new concrete began to crack. They did not understand why this was happening, but wanted it fixed, so they called Thrasher! One of our System Design Specialists, Jeremey Scott, came out to meet with them. At first, the homeowner just wanted to seal up the cracks, but after further inspection, Jeremey found large voids under the slabs of concrete. Jeremey determined that since this was a new build, the soil under the concrete was shifting and settling. There was almost no support under the slabs, and the concrete started to crack. Jeremey proposed we use our 2-part concrete solution consisting of PolyLevel and NexusPro. PolyLevel would fill in the voids, giving the concrete support to lay on. NexusPro would fill in the gas, joints, and cracks. These homeowners were so happy Thrasher could provide a solution that was proactive and would save them a big headache in the future. If they would have ignored the problem, there could have been major settling and cracks in the near future! There is no doubt that they are worry free of their driveway and will be for the foreseeable future!  

Juanita was concerned about the garage approach settlement that created a rough entry and exit of the garage. 

We sent System Design Specialist AJ Lavoie out to the home to provide a free inspection and explain how our solution would solve this issue. We used PolyLevel Foam to lift and level the concrete and Nexus Pro Joint Sealant to seal the joints and cracks to prevent water from creating future problems.

Betty is a homeowner in O’Neill, NE, and was having problems with her concrete driveway. She noticed that the front stoop and some of the driveway were leaning towards the house. Worried about the impact this would have on her home, so she decided to give Thrasher a call.

Service Technician Christian Hodson went out to Betty’s home. He was able to identify that four slabs were leaning to her front stoop that needed repair. The crew used PolyLevel to achieve the necessary lift and sealed the joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Betty was very excited to have the concrete repaired!

Darrin M. in Burwell, NE, was frustrated with the settling of his front doorstep. After years of water infiltration in our Midwest climate, it’s common for steps like these to separate and begin to fail. Looking for a permanent solution, Darrin gave Thrasher a call to have one of our System Design Specialists come out and inspect the problematic area.

Brandon Headrick, our System Design Specialist, arrived at the home in Burwell, NE, and noticed that the front step had sunk and the sidewalk and walkway leading to the front door. The customer opted to have Thrasher install our 2-part concrete protection system to lift, level, and seal the sunken areas. Our PolyLevel foam was installed first to lift and level the sunken areas and then sealed with the NexusPro to prevent any water from infiltrating in the future.

Darrin was thrilled with his entire Thrasher experience and gave us a rewarding review! His concrete was in great shape, but the sunken areas created an eyesore and a potential tripping hazard. We were able to restore his peace of mind and install the permanent solution his concrete needed.
