Water in the Basement in Salina, KS

Water kept coming into Sharalyn's basement. No matter what she did, for several years, she could not fix this on her own. With plans to give her home to her daughter, Sharalyn wanted to get to the root cause, so her daughter's family didn't have to deal with it. She wanted a long-term solution, not a quick fix. So she called Thrasher. System Design Specialist, AJ Lavoie, went out to her home to inspect and found Sharalyn had water coming in through a crack in the basement wall. This was a sign of deflection, where the wall moves inward due to hydrostatic pressure from outside soil. 

We were able to help Sharalyn with PowerBrace to stabilize the wall in her home permanently. We also used WaterGuard to remove the headache of water coming into her basement. And then lastly, we installed our SuperSump Plus to make sure water was being directed away from her home.

Sharalyn was so happy with the final result. And more importantly, she was glad she didn't have to deal with water in her basement anymore.

Basement Flooding Solved in Emporia, KS

This homeowner was frustrated because her basement was wet. She wanted to have this fixed, so she decided to contact us after a friend referred her.

We sent Service Technician Andrew Davis to inspect the basement and determine what was causing this homeowner's basement to have standing water. Andrew noticed that there was a high level of water on the floor from the latest rain because there was no proper drainage for water to exit the basement. Andrew installed WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, CleanSpace Basement Wall Vapor Barrier and lateral lines to give the basement a drainage system.

The homeowner was very happy with the project and very pleased that her basement is dry. Check out the newly installed waterproofing systems!

Duplex Water Disaster Avoided in Wichita, KS

A homeowner in Wichita, KS was looking to sell her home with her daughter before the end of the year. She believed that water was coming from the neighbors home and into hers, and her daughter was tired of having to clean up the water mess on the shared wall every time. After looking into solutions online, they decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Clint Gerber to inspect the shared wall as well as the perimeter of the duplex to determine where the water was coming from and what solutions would work best for the home. Clint determined that water was getting in through the cold join along the shared foundation wall and that the neighbor's yard had grading that was not doing their water problem any favors. Water was directed directly the their side of the duplex and due to hydrostatic pressure, water only was able to get in through the cold joint. Clint suggested a few solutions that made the homeowner and her daughter extremely excited, so they scheduled a time for installation. Our installation team used WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep the basement draining water away from the floor and to direct water into the drainage system only.

The homeowner and her daughter are so excited that they never have to worry about water getting into their basement again. They expect moving to be a lot easier now. Check out their waterproofed wall! 

Sump Pump Replacement in Wichita, KS

This homeowner bought his sump pump from a company that is no longer open for service. He knew that he needed to have his sump pump inspected, but he hadn't gotten around to it until his basement started to get water in it. He had heard the we service sump pumps in his area, so he gave us a call to check his out.

We sent Service Technician Jason White to inspect the sump pump and determine what was causing it to not function anymore. Jason found that the sump pump case had rusted through and dumped oil into the pit. The pit couldn't hold the heavy rain waters and the oil, so the sump pump couldn't function at full capacity. He quickly discussed with the homeowner how to solve this problem, and Jason then installed a new sump pump to replace the old one. After the installation, Jason scheduled an annual maintenance appointment for the homeowner for next year to ensure that this new sump pump is taken care of and does not have problems with rust. 

The homeowner was very happy and thankful that the sump pump was replaced and functioning properly. Check out the new sump pump!

Wet Basement Solutions - Wichita, KS

Danny wanted to make renovations to his permanent home, but he knew he needed to address his wet basement before starting any of that. He knew of Thrasher and had heard about their products, trainings, and professionalism. He decided to call Thrasher and shortly after one of our System Design Specialists, Nate Franson, went out to meet with him. After the inspection, Nate explained to Danny how one of his walls had started to lean in a little, this was causing water to find its way into the basement from the cracks and joints. Nate proposed that Thrasher install wall anchors to stabilize his wall and help straighten it over time, as well as our CleanSpace and WaterGuard system. CleanSpace is what looks like a plastic sheet on the wall. It is a barrier between the wet wall and the basement, keeping the basement dry. The water will trickle down the inside of the CleanSpace and into the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is our drainage channel that will direct the water into a sump pump and out of the home. Danny loved this idea, and we got started! Immediately after our installation, there was a heavy rainfall. Danny and his wife woke up in the middle of the night and ran to the basement. With a sigh of relief, they heard our systems working! They heard the water running through the systems, keeping the basement completely dry. There is no doubt that Danny's big renovation plans will go off without a hitch thanks to his dry basement!
