Before & After Photos

This homeowner noticed a sagging floor in their home after living there for a few years. As the years passed, they noticed the problem had become noticeably worse and it raised some real concerns. Ultimately, the homeowner decided to fix the problem before it got worse and became too far gone, so they called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Tiberghien to inspect the crawl space and determine the cause and solutions for this homeowner's sagging floor. Nick noticed that there was a large gap between the baseboard and the floor, and that you would feel the cooler air coming from the crawlspace. He determined that there was a lack of support underneath the floor due to the high moisture content that weakened the floor supports. Reassuring the homeowners that this was a fixable issue, Nick and his team got right to work on installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floors and lift them to their original position. After this, they installed a SmartSump to control the soil moisture and a CleanSpace vapor barrier to help reduce the humidity caused by water in the air. 

The homeowner was happy that the floors were able to be raised and that the water issue was addressed. Check out this homeowner's crawl space restoration!

Our customer in Aurora, MO was noticing high humidity levels in their crawlspace and needed to get the problem solved before they got mold or any other structural issues began to happen. They called Thrasher to come out and help them with the problem and determine the cause and our solutions. 

After Inspection, the team noticed the sump pump they had installed previously was barely working and not collecting any water causing the high humidity in the crawl space. The crew removed the old pump and properly installed our TripleSafe sump pump in the space. The TripleSafe sump pump is composed of three separate pumps protecting the space from water and safely flowing it away from the crawl space, solving humidity issues, and protecting the home from future potential damages. 

This homeowner was experiencing problems with water in her basement, and the noticed a musty smell start to develop. After looking around for who could help her, she gave us a call for a free estimate.

We sent System Design Specialist Jimmy Hungerford to inspect the basement and determine where the water was getting in, as well as where the smell was coming from. Jimmy found that water was coming in the because of hydrostatic pressure against the foundation wall. The pressure forced water into cracks and weak spots in the foundation. The water then traveled through the drywall and onto the floor which also caused mold to grow behind the homeowner's drywall. Jimmy discussed the problem with the homeowner then demonstrated what solutions would fix this, and the homeowner couldn't wait to see what her finished product would look like. Our team used a TripleSafe Sump Pump System as well as WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to give water a proper drainage path and to seal off the moisture in the air. These systems will also help to prevent water from pooling in the basement in the future, as well as prevent mold from growing in the drywall. 

The homeowner was quite pleased with her new waterproofing systems. Check out her new interior basement systems!

Kim and her son were having allergy issues and mold/humidity was a big concern. They noticed that they had sagging floors and the walls were bowing in which they believed might be some of the problem. Their house was built in the 1880s and they wanted to ensure that it is being taken care of. They were looking for better air quality and to repair their crawl space.

They decided to call us at Thrasher Foundation Repair and we were able to identify their issues and make a plan to resolve them. We encapsulated the crawl space with a product called CleanSpace. We added a Sedona Sani Dry dehumidifier to reduce humidity. We also added 5 GeoLock Anchors on the east wall to support the bowing walls. 

These homeowners are a military family and are stationed in this area. Though they do not know how long they will be staying in this home, they knew they wanted to make sure there are no issues. They found water getting into their basement. They knew of Thrasher reputation, and have heard the great things about us, so they gave us a call. Wes Marshall, System Design Specialist, came out to meet them. Wes saw how the water was coming into the utility room. There was insulation up on the walls, and the homeowners did not want to take it down. Wes got the okay to remove a bit of it, and found mold on the other side. He recommended we use our CleanSpace to act as a barrier between the wall and basement. It is a waterproof, mold prevention tarp like material that is very sturdy. Water can trickle down the other side, keeping out of the basement and sending it into their waterproofing system. The homeowners were very excited with how the room now feels and looks. There is no doubt that they do not need to worry about their water and mold issues anymore! Check out the before and after photos below!
