Before & After Photos

These downspouts clog easily. So we cleaned them out and extended them further away from the foundation. Extended downspouts help solve water problems in basements and near foundations, by directing water further away from the home to a designated area.

Marcy A. is looking to remodel the basement but has been dealing with water coming in throughout the last couple of years. She removed some paneling and noticed that water as also coming in from the concrete walls.  Before starting the remodeling, she wanted to get the water to stop coming in. After getting recommendations from family about Thrasher, they decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Jordan Comstock went out to Marcy’s home. He was able to find that the water was coming in through the cold joints and form ties. The water was also building up along the foundation walls.  We waterproofed the area with WaterGuard and installed full height CleanSpace. Marcy was happy to be able to continue with the remodeling and to never have to worry about water coming in again!

Linda and Louie E. are homeowners in Sioux City, IA and have felt the negative effects of a poor crawl space for years. During the winter, cold air would seep into the basement and the floors above. In the summer, hot and humid air would leak into the basement making it an uncomfortable living space to be in. Linda and Louie knew if these problems continued any longer, it would lead to more severe damage such as mold and rot. In addition, the crawl space was affecting the energy efficiency of their home making it more costly throughout the year. Linda and Louie were impressed with our thorough inspection and detailed solution to the problem. They believed our product was the best permanent solution and chose Thrasher because of our professionalism and reputation.

 System Design Specialist Corey Little began the crawl space encapsulation by installing our SilverGlo insulation that reflects and traps heat within the space. It’s an effective radiant barrier that’s also resistant to mold to keep the home energy efficient. The team also applied rim joists to seal all gaps and prevent air from escaping upward. To complete the encapsulation, they covered the entire crawl space in our CleanSpace waterproof liner to control humidity and prevent warm or cold air from entering through pipes and vents.

 Linda and Louie were more than pleased with the efficiency of our team throughout the duration of the project and our dedication to the quality of the solution we provided. They were thrilled with the result and are liberated moving forward knowing this issue won’t occur again. 

The customer was experiencing waterproofing problems in the basement of this house. Water would get into the basement when there was heavy rain. He would have to push the water over to the drain to get it out of the basement. 

We used our WaterGaurd system all the way around the basement to ensure the whole thing would stay dry. We put in full height clean space to limit the amount of water vapor getting into the home. We also used our triple safe pump to make sure they won't have to deal with the stress of a sump system failure. 

This homeowner was experiencing water in his basement whenever it rained. It got him worried his walls were going to cave in, and since this is his forever home, it's important to him to take care of it. He called Thrasher to come out for a free inspection and Nate Franson visited the home to see what was going on. Nate determined that water was entering through the cold joints and wall cracks, with two walls deflected. To fix this issue, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace to effectively drain the water; TripleSafe and PowerBrace to support the failing walls. 

The homeowner was happy we were able to save him from having to move again. His forever home is now dry and stable.
