Look at this sharp waterproofing system in this basement! There was water coming through the walls and the cold joint, as well as having bowing walls. To help combat these issues we installed our waterproofing systems including CleanSpace and WaterGuard. Cleanspace is the "white stuff on the walls." It is a waterproof, tarp-like material that collects any water from coming in through the walls and sends it to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard collects the water from the CleanSpace and cold joint and sends it to the sump pump, which will discharge the water out of the home at a safe distance. To help the the bowing walls, we installed PowerBraces, which are floor to ceiling braces to prevent any further deflection, and over time can be adjusted to help straighten the wall back out.

This homeowner was getting water in her basement making the house settle and causing a huge musty smell throughout her home. She wanted to stop her home from settling further and she wanted to have her home smell better. She gave us a call to get out advise as to what problem she should fix first.
We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson to inspect the basement and foundation to determine what problem would harm her home most and discover what problem needs to be fixed first. Tyler found that water was getting in the basement because in periods of heavy rain, water was pooling at the foundation wall and creeping into the the floor joints and walls. After careful consideration, Tyler came to the conclusion that the basement needed waterproofing in order to stop it from settling, otherwise the home would continue to settle; The air quality problems known from the musty smells could also lead to further health issues. When he talked with the homeowner, the homeowner agreed that the waterproofing needed to be done completely to ensure that no water would get into the home and cause problems.
One of our installation teams went to this home and began to install CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to encapsulate and guide water out of the home. Next, they got to work on redirecting and burying the homeowner's downspouts so that they would send water away from the home's foundation. Finally, the team tackled the air quality problems by installing a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to rid the home of musty smells. When the homeowner saw the final product, she was very satisfied with her newly waterproofed home. Check out the new waterproofing systems!
New homeowner Eric C. bought an older home and was looking to add an addition on to the home. Before starting the project, he kept on smelling a musty odor anytime it would rain. Worried that his crawl space was getting wet, he decided to give Thrasher a call.
System Design Specialist John Hollingsworth went out to Eric’s home and found a solution to keeping the crawl space dry. The crew installed full perimeter waterproofing with WaterGuard and also put in a Triple Safe Sump Pump. Eric was extremely pleased to know that the crawl space would remain dry and that he could continue on with the addition.
Night and day difference right there! This basement had a lot of water damage and a bowing wall. After we performed an inspection, we determined the best action plan was to do a full perimeter interior drainage system, install a vapor barrier, and install PowerBrace wall system to support the failing wall.
This customer needed a sleek, but efficient, solution to the problem of water in their basement! To make that happen, we installed TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.
