Deb I. and her siblings recently inherited their parent’s home in Grand Island, NE, and they wanted to have it fully inspected to ensure it’s in proper condition. They called Thrasher for their home repair needs because of our reputation and recommendations from surrounding people. During the inspection, System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick noticed the home’s crawl space had severely high moisture and humidity levels.
To combat the crawl space issues, Deb opted to have Thrasher encapsulate the entire space. Our team began by completely clearing out the crawl space, and then applied our CleanSpace moisture barrier to all floors and walls. To drain the captured water, the crew installed our SmartDrain system that alerts the homeowner if there’s ever a plumbing leak, and if there is it automatically drains the water into a dry well beneath the CleanSpace waterproof barrier. These two products work together to perform the ultimate crawl space encapsulation in order to keep it dry year-round.
Deb and her siblings were more than pleased with our crawl space solutions. They were impressed with the efficiency and display of professionalism from our team and were relieved to have their parent’s home fully repaired. Thrasher was able to restore their peace of mind by improving the quality of their new home.
Carol in Saint Paul, NE was struggling with a wet basement. She wanted to turn the basement into a living space, but water would collect anytime it rained. System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick explained our process for waterproofing.
The Thrasher crew installed WaterGuard an interior basement drainage system and a TripleSafe Sump Pump to direct the water out of the basement. We also encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace to keep water from entering again.
Water kept coming into Sharalyn's basement. No matter what she did, for several years, she could not fix this on her own. With plans to give her home to her daughter, Sharalyn wanted to get to the root cause, so her daughter's family didn't have to deal with it. She wanted a long-term solution, not a quick fix. So she called Thrasher. System Design Specialist, AJ Lavoie, went out to her home to inspect and found Sharalyn had water coming in through a crack in the basement wall. This was a sign of deflection, where the wall moves inward due to hydrostatic pressure from outside soil.
We were able to help Sharalyn with PowerBrace to stabilize the wall in her home permanently. We also used WaterGuard to remove the headache of water coming into her basement. And then lastly, we installed our SuperSump Plus to make sure water was being directed away from her home.
Sharalyn was so happy with the final result. And more importantly, she was glad she didn't have to deal with water in her basement anymore.
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.
Aaron is a homeowner in Wichita, KS, and he needed some waterproofing in the basement. He wanted to turn the basement into more living space but wanted the basement to stay dry. System Design Specialist Rob Griffin went out to Aaron’s home. He was able to recommend a permanent waterproofing solution. In the basement, we installed WaterGuard to take care of the waterproofing, encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace, and installed SuperSump Plus sump pump. Aaron was relieved to know that water would no longer be an issue.
