Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

Ron has been experiencing foundation settlement throughout his home. The biggest culprit? His house has no gutters. Even though his home is over 40 years old, it has never had gutters installed. This is shocking because a gutter's sole purpose is to keep water away from your home to prevent the water from entering the soil and disrupting your foundation.

Ron knew it was time to do something about it. He called Thrasher, and we sent System Design Specialist, Jason White, to take a look and come up with a solution. 

Upon inspection, it was clear that roof water was falling directly next to the foundation due to the lack of gutters. This water was then pooling around the foundation and getting into the crawl space, causing multiple issues. So to fix this significant problem, we installed a complete GutterShutter system with buried downspouts to control the roof water and properly divert it away from the home. 

Now, Ron's home is looking fresh with its new gutters! And most importantly, Ron no longer has to worry about water affecting his home's foundation.

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!
