Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Before & After Photos

This customer noticed an unpleasant smell in her basement and decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call. She was worried about her cousin's health and wanted to protect their belongings from water damage in the basement. We found that there was too much moisture in the walls, causing the moldy and musty smell. To fix this, we installed a special material called Cleanspace on more than half of the walls. This material keeps water out and prevents mold from growing, making the basement dry and healthy.

At Thrasher Foundation Repair, we take pride in delivering top-notch services that protect your home and belongings. In a recent project, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner whose basement was experiencing water damage, jeopardizing their family keepsakes. 

To take action against water infiltration and protect the homeowner's valuables, we implemented installed two products: WaterGuard and CleanSpace. WaterGuard is a highly effective drainage system that stops water at the perimeter of the basement, preventing it from entering the living space. This solution ensures that any water infiltrating the area is efficiently channeled away, providing protection to the home.

CleanSpace is a moisture-resistant liner that can be installed on the basement walls and floors, creating a clean and dry environment. CleanSpace not only enhances the overall appearance of the basement but also acts as a barrier against moisture, mold, and mildew. These solutions gave this homeowner peace of mind and the confidence to store their items in the basement.

This customer had a problem with water getting into her basement and causing mold to grow, making it difficult for her to use the space for her quilting projects. The water was seeping in through the walls and damaging the drywall too. To tix these issues we used a combination of different methods. First, our team removed all the damaged drywall and installed something called Cleanspace. This helped prevent any more moisture from coming in and causing further problems.

We also used a system called Waterguard to manage the drainage of water within the basement. This helped to keep the space dry and prevented any more water from seeping in. To improve the air quality and reduce humidity levels, we installed a device called Sanidry Sedona. This made the basement a healthier environment and helped prevent any more mold from growing.

Thanks to our hard work and careful attention to detail, the customer was extremely happy with the results. She could now use her basement for quilting without worrying about water or mold issues.

Water was leaking into the room through the cold joints and had nowhere to go except flow across the floor and try to get to the sump pump placed in her utility room. To solve this problem without damaging the customer's bathroom, we set up a 32-inch CleanSpace and a WaterGuard system. Additionally, we installed a new sump pump in the corner of her room to help redirect the water effectively.

This project consisted of multiple parts, including fixing a settlement issue that will be fixed in a few weeks. The homeowner also wanted to install water infiltration through the walls and improve the home's energy efficiency by adding insulation. We installed rim joist insulation to boost the energy efficiency in her home. We also implemented a vapor barrier to protect the walls from water and moisture, which gave our customer peace of mind.
