The homeowner had a problem with water leaking into their basement walls, which was very frustrating. Thrasher Foundation Repair installed CleanSpace to fix it. CleanSpace is a strong and waterproof plastic cover made specifically for unfinished basement walls. It comes with a warranty of 25 years, so it lasts a long time. It's easy to clean and has special protection against bacteria called UltraFresh, so it keeps the space clean and healthy. Plus, it's quick to install, so most projects are finished in a day or less, and you can start using your basement right away.
This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry because he had been struggling with water sitting in his basement. He had used our services previously, so he knew just who to call when he needed waterproofing solutions.
We sent Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer to inspect the basement and determine what was causing water to get into the homeowners basement. Michael found that there were no waterproofing systems in place to protect the homeowner's basement, so water was not leaving the basement once it got in. Also, Michael saw that the drainage system was not pumping water out of the drains as they easily froze over in the winter and prevented water from getting out. Michael discussed with the homeowner some options for waterproofing as well as fixing the small drainage system, and the homeowner decided to start with fixing the drainage system. Our installation team installed 2 TripleSafe Sump Pump Systems included 4 IceGuards which protect the sump pump from freezing over in the winter. These sump pumps will also help to pump water out of the basement as opposed to the previous drainage system which only ran water downhill.
The homeowner was thrilled with the final product and he already notices the difference in water getting out of his basement. Check out the new outdoor draining transformation!
This homeowner was worried about their crawl space and its dirt floor. Musty smells were permeating through his home and there were a few signs of water damage. Our team was able to crawl under there and encapsulate it to seal the earth from the house and prevent any water intrusion or mold growth.
Does your crawl space have a dirt floor? That could be a problem! This lets outside air in and can lead to various health issues. In this project, we installed CleanSpace in this home's crawlspace. CleanSpace is a waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is designed for unfinished basement walls. And it has a 25-year warranty!
The homeowner called Thrasher to fix their sinking steps before the problem got worse and more expensive to fix the longer it went on. Instead of using outdated Mudjacking, Thrasher used a better method called PolyLevel. Mudjacking can make the problem worse over time and is messy, with slurry coming out of holes and cracks. It also takes a long time to dry. On the other hand, PolyLevel is a modern solution. It uses lightweight polymers to lift and stabilize the concrete. It's clean and fast, and it doesn't put extra weight or pressure on weak soils. This method is great for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks.
