Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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! 

Tom witnessed a young girl crash her bike on the sidewalk in front of his house. Worried that others might trip and get hurt, he knew he had to do something. He also knew that he'd have to replace the concrete completely if he waited any longer and knew that would be a higher price tag.

After doing some research, Tom landed on choosing Thrasher because of our reputation and knowledge. He felt comfortable with us, the solution, and our price. We sent System Design Specialist, Brandon Powers, to inspect the concrete and develop a plan.

Brandon noticed areas of concrete settlement and cracking throughout his driveway, front walkway, and sidewalk. He also saw some issues with drainage in the front of the house where the downspouts were located. 

Brandon proposed a plan and walked Tom through it. After that, our install team got on-site and got to work. We used PlyLevel to lift, level, and stabilize all of his concrete. Then we used NexusPro to repair cracks and seal all joints. We also buried two of his downspouts to help fix his drainage problem.

Tom was so happy with the final result and felt better knowing nobody in the neighborhood would get hurt from his unlevel sidewalk. 

Gary and Donna have a lot of tall trees around their home. After the winter months, they noticed a lot of leaves and debris in their gutters and were concerned about their buried downspouts getting clogged. They called Thrasher, and we sent out Service Technician Bob Dunn to take a look. After inspection, Bob found a lot of debris in their downspouts and suggested our RainDrop Gutter Guards. These Gutter Guards do exactly what it sounds like: guards that protect your gutters from leaves, twigs, and other debris. It's 100% maintenance-free and self-cleaning. After installing, Gary and Donna told us how happy they are now that they don't have to get up on a ladder and clean out their gutters!

The home was experiencing significant street creep, sinking concrete, and big voids under the concrete. We used a compression guard to prevent further street creep and reverse anchors to avoid the back wall of the garage from tipping over any further. 

Mike and his wife really wanted to remodel their basement. When they started demo, they realized their foundation was settling. They knew that if they continued to invest in their remodel the settlement issue would just end up damaging all of their hard work. They had to fix the settlement issue first. 

When they called us with their problem, we sent out Daniel Hilkermann to inspect. We found that Mike's home was settling on the north side, pretty substantially. He had bad cracks along the exterior that were affecting the drywall inside. To fix the solution, we installed our Model 288 Push Pier System. The Push Pier System utilizes high-strength round steel tube sections and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and lift settling foundations. 

Mike is a shop teacher and actually brought his students out to see the installation of the piers! Everyone was super excited to see our process and gain knowledge of something most people aren't familiar with. Mike got an opportunity to teach his students and fix his settling foundation in one!
