This customer was experiencing water in the basement and was tired of cleaning it up every time it rained. After we inspected, we realized the problem was the exterior drainage. To fix the issue, our crew installed a full perimeter interior drainage system, vapor barrier, and a sump pump. These three systems will work in conjunction with one another to make sure three things happen:
This homeowner recently faced a leaky basement wall in her house. Water seepage through the walls was causing damage and making her worried. Thrasher Foundation Repair installed CleanSpace, a permanent solution that is far better than traditional paint and sealants as they can chip, peel, or flake away. Any water seepage is directed down into the drainage system as well. Additionally, CleanSpace is a good option for covering large boulders or dirt sections because it can be shaped around objects. Check out the before and after photos to see the transformation!
We encapsulated this homeowner's crawl space with CleanSpace, a vapor barrier, to help the home become more energy efficient and add usable storage space. CleanSpace is a 20-mil liner making it strong enough to hold up to things being taken in and out and will also never grow mold or mildew on its surface.
Travis and his crew went out to a home in Des Moines and leveled their garage floor. Travis had to raise the concrete about 3 inches. You can see the in the picture the difference of inches.
We installed wall anchors in this home to hold the wall and prevent it from coming inward any further. These wall anchors will also work overtime to straighten the foundation wall. The homeowner, in this case, wanted to put drywall on his basement walls, but the drywaller noticed the wall was bowing inward and was concerned about the structural integrity of the home. When we inspected the home, we found the wall of the garage was bowing inward from the active wedge the soil places on the wall. This caused several cracks to develop in the mortar joints overtime.
