This homeowners buried discharge line was originally installed too shallow, causing it to jut out and cause problems with mowing and lawn health - two things that a buried discharge line should make better! We reinstalled the discharge, burying it the appropriate depth and moving it slightly so that it would no longer stick out awkwardly or kill the grass.
Look at this sharp waterproofing system in this basement! There was water coming through the walls and the cold joint, as well as having bowing walls. To help combat these issues we installed our waterproofing systems including CleanSpace and WaterGuard. Cleanspace is the "white stuff on the walls." It is a waterproof, tarp-like material that collects any water from coming in through the walls and sends it to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard collects the water from the CleanSpace and cold joint and sends it to the sump pump, which will discharge the water out of the home at a safe distance. To help the the bowing walls, we installed PowerBraces, which are floor to ceiling braces to prevent any further deflection, and over time can be adjusted to help straighten the wall back out. Check out the before and after photos attached!
The customer notice their floors were squeeking and wanted to have them inspected. We come out to their home and found that there were issues with the foundation supports in the crawl space. The problem the house was having was the floor support that was there was not enough to support the floor. Now the floor is sagging 3/4" and there are drywall cracks appearing. We fixed the problem by adding Smart jacks to the crawlspace to help support the load of the floor.
Homeowners Cheri and Doug kept getting water in their basement. They called Thrasher Foundation Repair, worried that the water would start creeping into other parts of their home. Doug was a little skeptical, but once we sent System Design Specialist, Kevin French, to their home to look at the basement and then explained exactly how we do things and why we do it, his mind was at ease.
Kevin found a small portion of a wall in the cellar of their basement leaking badly. After developing a plan, he sent the install team out to work their magic. We ended up installing WaterGuard on the wall that was leaking. WaterGuard is a drainage system designed to capture water seepage through walls. It's nearly invisible and essentially makes sure that water never reaches your basement floor. In addition, we ran a lateral line from the WaterGuard to the sump pump for proper drainage.
Cheri and Doug now have a water-free basement! They were so happy they chose Thrasher Foundation Repair to give them an in-depth inspection and solve their problem at the same time.
Homeowners Becky and Will recently moved into their new home and wanted to make sure they protected it so that it was safe and protected for years to come.
System Design Specialist Shane McClintic visited the home and was able to find a solution that the customers were confident in. We used Smartjacks to stabilize the main interior beam in the crawlspace, then added drainage matting, Cleanspace encapsulation and Sanidry Sedona to protect the home from moisture and humidity throughout.
