Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Diane's discharge lines (from her sump system) were obnoxiously long, above ground, AND ran right in front of her front steps. Not only did it look odd, but it was also a significant tripping hazard. On top of that, she also had a downspout discharging directly onto her sidewalk, which would create an ice sheet that would get slick in the winter. So she called Thrasher, and we sent out Breyden Eckhout to do the inspection.

After looking at these issues, it was clear Diane needed Thrasher's help. Breyden proposed a solution and got our install team out to the house to get to work. We buried the discharge lines and downspouts underground using PVC and bubble pots to direct the water away from the foundation. This also took care of the trip hazards by no longer having them above ground in a high traffic area. 

Diane was happy with the results and wished she had done it sooner!

Ben wanted to sell his home. His driveway had deep cracks, and he didn't want that to complicate the sale or deter potential homebuyers. He needed a quick fix in a short timeframe, so he called Thrasher. 

Travis Hickman, one of Thrasher's System Design Specialists, went out to Ben's home to see what we were working with. We found Ben's driveway had formed voids in the soil underneath the slab, and that's what was making it crack and settle. To fix we used PolyLevel to lift those slabs and fill in the voids with injected foam.  

Ben was pleased with the results and the time frame we got them done.

Maurice knows the home he's living in is his forever home. That's why it's so important to him to maintain it. He started to get concerned when the door leading to the breezeway would not shut. So to get to the bottom of it, he called Thrasher. 

We sent Clint Gerber to inspect. Clint found that the concrete in their garage had settled in multiple areas. This is what was causing the door to not operate correctly and was creating tripping hazards. 

To resolve their problem, we utilized PolyLevel foam for lifting their concrete, and then we used NexusPro sealant to seal all cracks and joints. 

Maurice was thrilled with the outcome!

This customer has had foundation issues for years. She's worked with other companies to get it fixed, but all of the installed systems were failing. When your house has severe wall failure, your entire home is in danger and your family's safety. And that's what was happening here. This homeowner decided to choose Thrasher because we were the only ones able to give her an option that didn't require full foundation replacement. When we inspected the home, we found that her basement walls were in stage four of wall failure. The walls were bowing about 6 to 7 inches in some areas with severe shearing. 

When walls are this bad, our best solution is our EverBrace system. It's a less disruptive system than foundation replacement but offers the support the home needs. Here's how it works: steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.

The homeowner was so happy with how everything went. But most importantly, she now feels safe in her home.

Janet has lived in her home for over 50 years. She also envisions her daughter moving into it in the future. Needless to say, this farmhouse will be in the family for the unforeseeable future. That's why when Janet noticed her unstable basement walls, she knew she had to fix them. She reached out to several foundation repair companies and noted that Thrasher was the only one that took the time to look at the entire foundation and explain precisely why her walls were cracking. 

One of our System Design Specialists, Trevor Stokes, went out to her property and found that the south wall of the house was bowing in from soil weight and pressure against it. On top of that, the north half of the home sits on a crawl space, and the beams were sagging from inadequate supports, which made the north side of the crawl space sink. As a result, Janet was experiencing sloping floors, sticking doors, and drywall cracks throughout her home. 

We installed EverBrace to stabilize the south wall and prevent it from bowing any further to fix these issues. Then we installed helical piers and SmartJacks in the crawlspace to stabilize the floor and keep the north side of the foundation from sinking any further.

Janet was impressed with how hard the crew worked and how fast they could get it all done, especially considering the team had to make several unique adjustments to the situation.
