Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jeremy and Rita just purchased their forever home. But in order for them to turn it into their own oasis, they want to do a full remodel. Before they start the construction, there's one thing they need to do first. Repair their foundation.

They called Thrasher to perform an inspection. Clint Gerber went out to their home to look at the foundation. 

Upon inspection, he found that since the house sits on a hill, it has settled due to water runoff. On top of that, a wall that supported the deck and ran along the home was failing. 

To resolve these issues, we utilized push piers to lift and stabilize their foundation. We also used carbon armor to support the wall that was failing. Jeremy and Rita were ecstatic about the outcome and are excited to start the renovations on their forever home.

Ross, at the local VFW Post 1174 in El Dorado, KS knew it was time to address the water in the basement of the building. This was limiting the storage and workspace that they needed to expand their services to local Veterans. Ross liked the reputation we had on the local radio station, KBFR, and knew Thrasher would get the job done right. El Dorado is located near a large lake, where bedrock is shallow allowing for overflow. This, and the soft soil around the footing of the structure, allows for water and pressure to build up in the fill soil. Over time, this pressure causes water to enter the building through the footing of the foundation. 

For this project, WaterGuard was used at the footing of the foundation, this product is designed for water to flow through the open holes and naturally flow towards a Sump Pump. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed for this project, meaning there are three "fail-safes," for the pump. It will work for a large amount of water with the triple backup. CleanSpace was then installed for more protection, as deterioration was starting to happen with years of water buildup. 

This was was near complete failure. The wall in question is a combination of poured concrete and concrete block material. The poured section of the wall was formed horizontally on the inside, and was an "Earth Pour" on the outside, meaning the builder did not use a concrete form outside the home, but rather used the exposed dug up soil as the mold to form the concrete.

We were able to install Everbrace to permanently stabilize the wall and prevent it from moving inward and collapsing. 

Homeowner, William L. in Council Grove, KS, noticed his walls cracking due to sinking concrete.  He wanted to fix the problem before it got worse and increased the cost to repair.

We sent System Design Specialist, AJ, to the home to provide a free, same-day estimate.  We were able to use Polylevel to lift and level the sunken concrete and applied NexusPro to seal the cracks in the areas where the concrete began to break.  With our repair solution, we were able to protect the concrete and walls from further damage.

Homeowner, Louise E. in Spirit Lake, IA, noticed her concrete issues were getting worse and wanted to avoid having to do a total replacement.

We sent System Design Specialist, Jordan, to the home to provide a free, same-day estimate.  We provided our full concrete protection system, including lifting and leveling the concrete with Polylevel.  Our system provided additional protection to help her concrete last.
