Amanda had a long history of water in her basement and was sick of dealing with it. The number of sleepless nights carrying buckets of water out of her basement would astonish you. That's when she said, "Enough is enough... I'm tired of being a human sump pump!" After sealing the racks in her slab and joints and still getting water in her basement, she knew it was time to call the professionals.
One of our System Design Specialists, Brock Scott, got the call and headed out to Amanda's home to figure out what was going on with her basement. Upon inspection, Brock found evidence of effervescence, a white powdery substance that forms due to moisture, on all of her basement walls. To fix her issue, we decided to use WaterGuard, a Triple Safe sump pump, PolyLevel for concrete, and CleanSpace. The concrete outside her home was angled to drain water towards the foundation wall. So we raised that to prevent the water from draining directly to the basement. On top of that, we also did a full perimeter WaterGuard and an entire wall of CleanSpace to direct water straight to her new triple safe sump pump.
At the start of this, Amanda was desperate for help. She was at her wit's end and needed a system she could trust and that would work.
This homeowner had cracked and leaking walls in their basement. To fix this, we installed our WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System and CleanSpace! Now there will no longer be water in his basement!
This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry because his family wanted to use the space as their family room, however, the floors were always damp. After hearing about our reputation in the area, he decided we had the solution for his family, so he gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Travis Hickman to inspect the source of this moisture and seal it from entering the home. Travis found that moisture was seeping in through the basement floor which was causing the damp flooring. Our team knew the simple solution to this problem, so they installed a diagonal lateral underneath the basement floor.
The homeowner was at peace because his family could have a dry family room now. Check out the installation!
This Homeowner was experiencing coughing and headaches caused by mold and water damage in the basement. She reached out to Thrasher to install a waterproofing solution for the basement. We installed our perimeter waterproofing system along with CleanSpace to seal out water and lead it to the TripleSafe sump pump and away from the house.
Just like a vehicle, routine maintenance of your sump pump will help ensure that it continues to function properly for years and years. In this instance, the homeowner had never serviced their waterproofing system after installation, and eventually the pump failed when they needed it most. Iron ochre deposits due to water quality in the area had built up and compromised the pump, which we cleaned during our inspection and repair visit. A little precaution goes a long way!
