When it rains a lot, homeowner Rick has to deal with water coming into his basement. On top of that, he's noticed a lot of water pooling on his patio. Rick travels a lot and always gets worried that his basement will flood when he's out of town. To ease his anxiety, he knew he needed some help. He heard about Thrasher through friends and family and decided to give us a call. Our System Design Specialist, Matt Stice, went out to Rick's home to see what was going on and come up with a solution. Matt discovered the water was coming in on the east wall in the basement. The best plan of action was to install floor-to-ceiling Cleanspace with WaterGuard on the east and south wall with a Super Sump Plus in the southeast corner to help with waterproofing. And then, to stabilize the wall, we installed Geolock Anchors.
Rick was so excited that this home he's had for 27 years is now in tip-top shape. And so thankful that he no longer has to worry about water on his basement floor when he travels.
Our customers in Lincoln, NE would have large amounts of water in their basement every time they got large amounts of rain. With plans on selling their home in the future and not wanting to have to deal with the hassle of cleaning up water after every rainfall, they decided to call Thrasher to get their issues resolved.
The crew came out and found they had a wall failure on one part of the basement creating the majority of their water problems, eventually, over time the pressure from the water could cause this wall to collapse. Our team decided to fix the problem areas with full-perimeter WaterGaurd and PowerBraces. WaterGaurd is an interior drainage system that drains any water getting into the basement to a sump pump and moves the water away from your home. Next, we used PowerBraces to support the falling wall, this is an I-beam that runs the full height of the foundation that is securely fastened to the concrete basement floor. Both of these systems installed now give support to the wall causing the water leakage and will drain other water points getting into the basement.
This customer no longer has to worry about a wet basement or a potential wall failure and can look to sell their home without these lingering issues around their home.
This customer lives in a duplex and was worried the shared wall was going to fall over. When we went to inspect, we found that the center footing of the duplex was settling. To fix this issue, we installed Push Piers to lift the home back and permanently stabilize on stronger soil.
This home's foundation was settling and needed repaired! The homeowner was concerned about the excavation process and how it would make her yard look. We assured her after we dig up the soil, we will put it all back and make it look as good as new. We think we did a good job. You wouldn't even know it was recently dug up!
We installed a new gutter system on this home, called Gutter Shutter. Gutter Shutter is an all-in-one gutter solution: no clogging, no sagging, and no water damage.
