This homeowner had recently finished their basement to get it ready to put on the market. During the spring, when the ground melted, they noticed water coming in from behind the stairs, ruining the drywall. So they called Thrasher Foundation Repair to come out and inspect. Mike Portal was the one to perform the inspection. He found that the water was coming in behind the finished walls through the cold and mortar joints on the block wall. This happened due to hydrostatic pressure from water filling up around the foundation.
To fix this issue, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace along the wall where the water was coming in. This will help direct and drain the water away from the home.
The homeowner now feels confident in our solution and is happy they won't have to deal with water ruining any more drywall in their home.
Can sump pumps be installed in basement closets in Waterloo, IA? Yes, they can! Thrasher Foundation Repair production experts installed a sump pump and pit inside a basement closet. The benefits are easy access for annual maintenance aka Thrasher Foundation Repair Care Club.
After years of soil erosion, expansion, and shrinking, the concrete will shift around and sink, which also causes cracks. To help this homeowner fix the concrete on the driveway and prevent future damage we used our Polylevel and Nexus Pro.
This homeowner was experiencing water leakage into their basement throughout the rainy season of the year. Our team was able to solve this problem with the installation of a TripleSafe sump pump, and our CleanSpace wall barrier. CleanSpace will divert any water intrusion through the wall into your drainage system, which flows to the TripleSafe sump pump system.
This basement needed some wall support, the Thrasher Foundation Repair Team installed the PowerBrace system. The strength of PowerBrace now supports this home's foundation.
