Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Water kept coming into Sharalyn's basement. No matter what she did, for several years, she could not fix this on her own. With plans to give her home to her daughter, Sharalyn wanted to get to the root cause, so her daughter's family didn't have to deal with it. She wanted a long-term solution, not a quick fix. So she called Thrasher. System Design Specialist, AJ Lavoie, went out to her home to inspect and found Sharalyn had water coming in through a crack in the basement wall. This was a sign of deflection, where the wall moves inward due to hydrostatic pressure from outside soil. 

We were able to help Sharalyn with PowerBrace to stabilize the wall in her home permanently. We also used WaterGuard to remove the headache of water coming into her basement. And then lastly, we installed our SuperSump Plus to make sure water was being directed away from her home.

Sharalyn was so happy with the final result. And more importantly, she was glad she didn't have to deal with water in her basement anymore.

The Magee family hated the way the approach to their garage looked. They had seen Thrasher fix a few homes in their neighborhood and decided to give us a call. AJ Lavoie, System Design Specialist, went out to their home to inspect and develop a solution. 

Upon inspection, he found the concrete had settled in several areas at their home due to the washout of soil underneath the concrete. The root of the problem? A leaking buried downspout pipe. This pipe was causing additional soil washout near their garage approach and sidewalk, which caused the concrete to sink further. 

Our install team instantly got to work. We lifted and leveled the concrete at the garage approach and the back patio with PolyLevel. Then, we sealed the joints and repaired cracks with NexusPro joint sealant.

The Magee family was so happy with the finished result that Thrasher was able to get to the bottom of it and bring solutions to fix it.

Paul's sidewalks around his home were settling, even though the concrete was only three years old. Not only did he not like the way it looked, but he was also concerned about water finding its way into his basement. He had heard good things about Thrasher, so he decided to give them a call. System Design Specialist, Nate Smith, went out to Paul's home to see what was going on with his concrete. Upon inspection, Nate found that Paul's sidewalks were settling towards the house, with some places settled over 3 inches. 

To fix this, we decided to use PolyLevel to lift and level the settled concrete and then went in with NexusPro to seal the cracks. Paul was more than pleased with the final result and thought it would never look as good as it did in the end. 

Amanda had a long history of water in her basement and was sick of dealing with it. The number of sleepless nights carrying buckets of water out of her basement would astonish you. That's when she said, "Enough is enough... I'm tired of being a human sump pump!" After sealing the racks in her slab and joints and still getting water in her basement, she knew it was time to call the professionals. 

One of our System Design Specialists, Brock Scott, got the call and headed out to Amanda's home to figure out what was going on with her basement. Upon inspection, Brock found evidence of effervescence, a white powdery substance that forms due to moisture, on all of her basement walls. To fix her issue, we decided to use WaterGuard, a Triple Safe sump pump, PolyLevel for concrete, and CleanSpace. The concrete outside her home was angled to drain water towards the foundation wall. So we raised that to prevent the water from draining directly to the basement. On top of that, we also did a full perimeter WaterGuard and an entire wall of CleanSpace to direct water straight to her new triple safe sump pump.

At the start of this, Amanda was desperate for help. She was at her wit's end and needed a system she could trust and that would work. 

The front steps to Cindy's home had poorly settled, causing a huge tripping hazard to any guests visiting her home. System Design Specialist Brent See went out to her house to see what was going on and how Thrasher could help.

We found that Cindy's front step was 11" from the top of the stoop. Cindy was extremely worried the only option would be to tear out the step altogether, but we assured her this was an easy fix with PolyLevel. 

PolyLevel raised the step to its original height, making her front steps look like new again!
