Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Did you know that the road in front of your house can hurt your foundation? Concrete grows when it's hot and shrinks when it's cold. To reduce the issues caused by temperature changes, Thrasher installs expansion joints in exterior concrete slabs such as sidewalks and driveways. These joints absorb and spread out the stress, allowing the concrete slabs to expand and contract without touching, which lessens the risk of cracking.

However, over time, standard expansion joints may deteriorate, crack, or become filled with debris. When this occurs, the concrete expands altogether, resulting in street creep and a lot of pressure where the driveway meets a garage slab or foundation wall.

To Prevent this, we used Compression Guard on this driveway, which fills the joint in a way that reduces the problems we see with standard expansion joints. 

Cracks in the driveway are an unappealing look to the home and can cause future damage and settle the concrete. Our team was able to help this customer by sealing the joints and cracks with NexusPro joint sealant. NexusPro protects the joints and concrete by not allowing any water or debris underneath the slab to protect the driveway for years to come. 

This customer in Des Moines, IA was having problems with the pooling water around his patio and deck. He was worried this would eventually damage his patio and later cause him larger problems with his foundation. Having used Thrasher in the past for other projects, he knows he could trust us to get the job done right for him.

When the team came out, they determined that he had a drainage issue that was causing the pooling in these areas. The crew decided that the best solution would be to use a buried downspout extension. Downspout extensions are a more efficient way to carry water away from your home's foundation, they provide a continuous path for the water to flow to an area safely away.  

After the installation of the downspout, this customer no longer has to worry about damage to his patio or foundation and can enjoy the space without the pooling water. 

Before we installed RainDrop gutter guards this Omaha home's gutters were vulnerable to leaves and debris clogging them. Clogged gutters can lead water into the basement, resulting in water and moisture seeping into the foundation. RainDrop gutter guards are also self-cleaning so you don't have to put yourself or others in danger by going up and cleaning out your gutters! 

This "before" photo shows how gutters can get clogged if they aren't protected properly. An Easy fix to this problem is installing RainDrop gutter guards! The "after" photo displays RainDrop that has been installed. RainDrop can fit new or existing gutters and are extremely durable.
