Before & After Photos

High humidity, standing water, and sagging floors. These are the symptoms a homeowner in Hudson, Iowa reported to Thrasher Foundation Repair when he sought to our help. The issues all stemmed from the crawl space. 

The crawl space was made of clay so water could not properly drain on its own. This water led to the building humidity and excess moisture, which led to rotting support jacks underneath the floors, which eventually led to the sagging floors in the home. 

The production team installed a sump pump to drain the standing water, then installed drain matting and CleanSpace barrier to reduce moisture buildup, and new rim joists to stabilize where the floors had started to sag. This extreme renovation not only helped to solve the homeowner's problems but also prevents the leaks from reoccurring in the future. This is how we help restore our customers' peace of mind!

Erin V. was having trouble with their sump pump working correctly. They missed their annual maintenance and needed to a quick fix before it rained again due to fears of causing damage to their home.  So, they decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.

Service Technician Ryan Allen arrived at the home and was able to see high amounts of sediment in pits. We installed 2 new sump pumps and also put a new battery in for the battery backup system. The team also clean out the pit and removed any debris and cleaned the area to ensure optimal operation for the systems. We were able to provide this customer a peace of mind knowing the system was back up and running again.

They were getting water leaking in from multiple places. They had an existing sump pump that wasn’t doing much. We were able to waterproof everything and give them a new sump pump system. We used WaterGuard TM because they had a nontraditional footing, a MPS lateral line, a Triple-safe sump system and full cleanspace. They want to be confident the basement stays dry.

These homeowners were renovating a new-to-them home and they wanted to ensure that the home was dry when they were ready to sell it down the line, as well as for the time in which they were living there. They knew that there were already water problems, so they wanted to get it solved as quickly as possible.

We sent System Design Specialist Daryn Britton to inspect the home's basement to determine what was causing water problems as well as design a solution that would prevent water from getting into the basement. Daryn found that water was coming in through the wall and that their sump pump had failed, meaning that nothing was solving the water problem. The homeowners wanted this problem fixed quickly, so they asked Daryn to fix the problem in the next week. Daryn called out one of our installation teams, and they got straight to work on installing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System alongside a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to fully waterproof the basement. After that, the installation team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to get water up and away from the basement as well as a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to help prevent any humidity or moisture from building up. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the outcome and the look of the systems that were installed as well as the timeliness of the process. Check out all of the waterproofing systems that were installed!

These homeowners want a dry basement, all of the time. They're tired of dealing with water issues that are coming from foundation joints and from the wall. Thrasher was recommended to these homeowners and we installed WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe sump pump, creating a waterproof basement!
