This homeowner loved to throw parties for friends and family. She was noticing her basement was becoming an issue. She was getting water in, cobwebs forming, and she was finding lots of bugs. She knew she would not be able to host if she did not fix it. She had heard great things about Thrasher and trusted we could give her the best solution. Neil Kwiatkowski, System Design Specialist, came out to meet with her. Together they decided to install CleanSpace to catch water from the wall and act as a barrier, WaterGuard our drainage channel that flows water to the sump pump, our TripleSafe sump pump to discharge water out of the home, and our dehumidifier to lower humidity levels. Check out the before and afters of this project! There is no doubt this homeowner is back to hosting her family and friends parties!
Edwin O. and Jessica D. noticed that one of the walls in their house was starting to fail and contacted their landlord. In the home was a homemade brace system and concerned for the safety of the home, the landlord gave us a call.
System Design Specialist Corey Little was able to identify the wall was on stage three of wall failure with three inches of deflection and daylight was coming when looking near the top. We started by fixing the wall by installing PowerBrace System which was able to permanently stabilize the home. Since the wall had so much damage, we had to Shortlock the wall. Then we interlocked rebar to the PowerBrace System and sprayed shotcrete giving them a new wall without having to replace the old one.
Not only was Corey able to come up with a solution that allowed them to say in the home the entire time and was the least invasive. The home now feels safe again and the finished product looks great!
This homeowner was tired of having to worry about the uneven steps leading into their home. The stairs were causing concern for tripping hazards and creating an unsafe environment for them. Our team was able to come in and help level the steps back into the original place, this customer was pleased with the outcome!
This homeowner wanted to give his home to his daughter in the near future, but he knew that the basement was consistently wet. Wanting to ensure that the basement is dry for her, he read our online reviews and decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Powers to inspect the basement and determine what was causing the water problem. Brandon found that water was seeping into the basement through the cold joint, but he knew just what to do in order to solve this problem. He talked to the homeowner, then called a team out to install full perimeter waterproofing solutions. The team installed WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to capture all the moisture and water, then redirect it to the sump pump so it would leave the basement. Also, the team installed a new PolyWell so that the homeowner didn't need to worry about his old one causing problems in the future.
The homeowner was thrilled with the final result. Initially, he only wanted a part of his perimeter done, but after he saw the beginning of the installation, he decided that he wanted to do the whole basement. Check out this homeowner's newly waterproofed basement!
The soil beneath this driveway was experiencing a lot of movement, and because of that caused the driveway to sink and crack completely across a slab. This created a giant tripping hazard. To fix it, we were able to lift the driveway using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the slab to level and lift back to its original position.
