This homeowner had standing water in her basement and her son was planning on moving into her home and using the basement area as storage for his possessions. She knew that she needed to fix this problem for her son to be able to move in, so she decided to give us a call to see what solutions we could offer.
We sent System Design Specialist Bobby Bartow to inspect the basement water problem, determine what was causing the problem, and design a solution to fix this problem. Bobby found that water was getting into the homeowner's basement on two different sides on the cold joints of the walls and floors. He also noticed that he walls had started to move inward due to hydrostatic pressure. When this was discovered, Bobby discussed how these problems both needed to be addressed for the home's structural integrity and the homeowner agreed that she needed to fix these problems. One of our installation teams arrived at the home and utilized PowerBraces to push back the inward moving walls over time. After that, they installed WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, partial height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a lateral line, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to effectively waterproof the basement by draining and pumping water away.
The homeowner was very understanding of the importance of the work that was being done and she was thankful that our team was willing to work with her budget concerns while still completing the project. Check out the new PowerBraces and waterproofing systems!
This homeowner wanted to fix the tripping hazard on their patio so their kids and family don't hurt themselves. We were able to help by using Poly Level to lift the patio back to its original position and NexusPro to fill the joints and prevent water intrusion.
The customer's current sump pump was letting water and mud come through from underneath the system. Thrasher was able to come in and install a full perimeter Waterguard system and full height cleanspace to keep water out of the basement from the cold joints. We also installed a new Triplesafe sump pump and buried all the downspouts for additional protection against water from entering the basement.
Jimmy had water coming in through the cold joints of his basement, causing mold and anxiety about his home. Cold joints are where the footing of your home, meets the foundation walls. Through time, the soil outside of the home begins to crack and shift, which allows water to build up pressure. Once there is too much pressure, there is only one way the water can go, into your basement. After one of our expert team members evaluated the space, they were able to come up with a solution that would keep Jimmy's basement dry, and guarantee he could live stress-free.
For Jimmy's home, a full perimeter WaterGuard was installed. This is a system that is laid next to the footing of the home, with perforated holes in the back. This allows for any water that comes through the cold joint, to be redirected to a Sump Pump, ultimately pushing the water up and out of the basement. Keeping the entire area dry.
This driveway's concrete was experiencing soil erosion and because of that, voids formed and the slab started to sink into them. To fix this issue, we lifted the concrete with our polyurethane foam, PolyLevel. PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab and fills every void, while simultaneously lifting and stabilizing the concrete.
