We recently assisted a homeowner with a common issue: clogged gutters causing potential water damage. To address this concern and help the homeowner enjoy their property for the long term, we installed Raindrop Gutter Guards. This innovative solution prevents debris from entering the gutters, ensuring water flows smoothly and reducing the risk of future damage. Our team provided a comprehensive solution that not only resolved the immediate problem but also offered long-lasting protection for the homeowner's peace of mind.
The EverBrace wall system was able to permanently stabilize and support this failing foundation. The steel beams and panels are able to transfer the weight of the home off the wall and onto the new wall system!
Ross, at the local VFW Post 1174 in El Dorado, KS knew it was time to address the water in the basement of the building. This was limiting the storage and workspace that they needed to expand their services to local Veterans. Ross liked the reputation we had on the local radio station, KBFR, and knew Thrasher would get the job done right. El Dorado is located near a large lake, where bedrock is shallow allowing for overflow. This, and the soft soil around the footing of the structure, allows for water and pressure to build up in the fill soil. Over time, this pressure causes water to enter the building through the footing of the foundation.
For this project, WaterGuard was used at the footing of the foundation, this product is designed for water to flow through the open holes and naturally flow towards a Sump Pump. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed for this project, meaning there are three "fail-safes," for the pump. It will work for a large amount of water with the triple backup. CleanSpace was then installed for more protection, as deterioration was starting to happen with years of water buildup.
Anita was in desperate need of some waterproofing for a rental property in Enterprise, KS. She wanted a permanent solution that would work and not require upkeep and decided to give Thrasher a call.
System Design Specialist Jon Graves went out to the home and was able to identify that water was coming in through one of the walls. The crew waterproofed the whole basement by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard and encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace. Anita was thrilled never to worry about waterproofing again!
Bon and Joanne G. inherited this home in Marion, KS and wanted to fix the water issues in the basement to increase the value before selling the property. In addition, they wanted peace of mind for the next owner knowing they wouldn’t have the problems on their hands. Bob was familiar with Thrasher and our reputation of providing the best permanent solutions, so they gave us a call to come inspect the damage.
To begin the project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived in Marion to perform a thorough inspection on the wet basement to develop possible solutions. This is an older home, and it was determined that the point of entry for the water was near the brick fireplace and high moisture content in the south wall. The team began waterproofing the basement by installing our WaterGuard drainage system around the full perimeter. Next, CleanSpace waterproof barrier was applied to all the walls to prevent any moisture or water vapor from entering the space. Lastly, a TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to guarantee the basement stays dry year-round. Each of these products are effective on their own, but when they are combined it’s the ultimate waterproofing solution.
Bob and Joanne were thrilled with the outcome of the repair. They were impressed with the variety of solutions we provide, and our teams display of professionalism. Thrasher was able retore their peace of mind and give them the confidence they need to go forward in the process of selling the home.
