Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer wanted to make sure the water was flowing away from their home correctly. And they especially wanted to make sure their basement was kept safe and dry, in an event they might need to use it as shelter from a storm.

When we visited the home to inspect the property, we found the gutters and downspouts were too small and were getting clogged. They were not running far enough from the foundation and were ripping away from the house in a storm and high winds.

To fix the problem, we installed our gutter shutter system on the home with the oversized trough and a wide mouth outlet. To keep the water away from the foundation, we also buried the downspouts 10 feet away from the foundation, in areas with good grade soil.

The customer was happy and feels better about the safety of her home during storms.

This homeowner wanted to protect their home to maintain its value. They know this is their retirement home, so they must keep it in good shape for their future. Since they've worked with Thrasher in the past on other homes, they knew they could trust us to get the job done right. 

Dillon Gubbels was the one to perform the inspection. He found that the house had wall failure along the back wall's foundation. This was causing separation cracks on their interior drywall. The soil outside their home was driving this problem and the pressure is applied to their foundation.

We fixed this by installing our wall support solution, Geo Anchors. The anchors were the ideal solution to be the least intrusive on their finished interior while stabilizing their foundation.

The customer was happy with the results and even said, "Thrasher is a company that stands behind their work."

This customer had mold growing in the basement of his business. The mold was growing in a dirt portion of his basement. In an effort to fix this issue, the customer had a dehumidifer installed by a local HVAC company last year. But the mold was still thriving. That's when he decided to contact Midwest - to get rid of the mold and ensure the air is clean in his store for his employees and customers.

Brock Scott, a System Design Specialist at Midwest, went to the property to inspect. He found that the dirt floor wasn't preventing ground water seepage increasing the humidity of the area. And that dirt was growing mold from such a high humidity.

To fix this, we encapsulated the basement, similar to how we would a crawl space, to protect the air above it. We also installed drain lines and sumps to drain any surface water under the liner. And lastly, the crew also used a Sedona to dry the air while they were working since the area had 87% humidity at one point.

The customer was happy that his store is now safe for his customers and employees.

This homeowner was gifted this home from his father. He started to notice settlement on the back wall where the crawlspace was added and his floors were also sagging. He called Thrasher to come out and inspect. We found, upon inspection, that the add-on crawlspace was not supported sufficiently when it was built. The span from wall to wall was too wide and needed supports in the middle to help the slab not settle. 

To fix the issue, we used our I-beams to run the length of the crawlspace in smart jacks to support the beam so that the floor would not settle or sag.

The homeowner was very happy he doesn't have to concerned about that area and happy he can continue to live in the home that his father built.

These homeowners lived in their house for many years and recently, decided to have their entire foundation replaced. They had several issues with their old foundation and chose to replace over repairing it. Unfortunately, the foundation was not the issue. It was the soil.

After doing a full replacement, they started to notice cracks forming on their brand new foundation walls. They knew at this point they had to get it fixed before it turned into a bigger issue. 

Austin Sharon went out to their home to perform an inspection. He found the foundation walls were tipping in and causing damage to the support beams. The north and south walls were both failing. This was happening because of the soil around the foundation. To fix, we stabilized the walls using a combination of PowerBraces and Anchors, which will straighten the walls over time. 

The homeowners are relieved not to have to worry about foundation issues anymore.
