Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowner Dave had buried downspouts in his yard, which he loved. But he kept running into the same problem. The point where the discharge ended, there was always a soggy wet spot in his backyard. He knew this wasn't a huge issue, but he wanted to instead extend the downspout out into a pasture so his yard could stay nicer while still having a drainage system.

Instead of trying to figure out how to do it himself, Dave decided to call Thrasher. System Design Specialist, Tony Taylor, went out to his home to figure out the best plan of action. After inspecting the buried downspouts, it was clear the discharge was fine, but as Dave said, it did end 3 feet inside of the gated backyard area. Which allowed a pool of water to collect and created a soft spot in the soil after rainfall. 

To fix the issue, we extended the discharge another 10 feet. This helped move the water into a pasture and out of the backyard. It also allowed the soggy area to be in an area that the family doesn't move through often and will actually help the pasture grow better.

Even though it might not be a complex or pressing issue, it was a solution that helped improve the homeowner's quality of life and made it so he could enjoy his backyard more with his family. 

These homeowners built their home in 1999 and planned for it to be their forever home. But over the last 3-4 years, they noticed slab settlement and separation between control joints, which led to several tripping hazards. With the biggest concern being the ledges between the slabs.

The homeowners called Thrasher to fix it because they had another company come out to do foam and caulking work on the driveway several years ago, but unfortunately their product didn't last as long as anticipated. They had only offered to fix the isolated slabs. But after sending out our System Design Specialist, Britton Wood, to assess the situation, we decided to offer a more comprehensive and wholistic concrete protection system that will prevent the same problem from arising in other parts of their driveway in the future. 

After inspecting the concrete, we discovered multiple spots where the control joints were cracked all the way through. Which allowed water to get underneath and widen the gap between the slabs. On top of that, the previous company's foam lifting work had settled again, so we needed to re-lift the slabs and proactively prevent that happening in the rest of the driveway. 

With a plan set, our install team came out to their home to start making their driveway look good as new. We used the 2-part Concrete Protection System including PolyLevel foam and NexusPro Joint Sealant. This system helps lift and level settled slabs, stabilizes other slabs, seals the water out of the joints, and repairs any cracks throughout their driveway as well.

The homeowners were so happy their driveway was finally fixed and Thrasher did the project the way it should have been done the first time. 

Homeowner James has been making improvements to his home throughout the past few years and it was now time to tackle his cracked and sinking driveway. He had two driveway slabs that had dropped. Which created areas that water, snow, and ice would collect. It got so bad that as he was shoveling snow, his shovel would get snagged on those sunken areas. That's when he said "Enough is enough!" and called Thrasher. We sent System Design Specialist Bobby Bartow out to inspect his driveway and discuss solutions with James. 

Bobby decided the best course of action would be to use PolyLevel foam to lift the areas that were down. And then use our NexusPro Joint and crack sealer in and around the areas we lifted to ensure those areas were safe from moisture. When we were finished, James was so grateful that we were able to get the job done, do it well, and even do it in 18-degree weather. 

The homeowner has lived in his home for 20 years and knew he needed to fix his crawl space. It has been collecting moisture and began to settle, causing uneven floors. The main beam had settled 1 1/2 inches and had extremely high moisture content causing mold and rot. 

We Installed SmartJacks to lift the settled beam and encapsulated crawlspace with CleanSpace. To help with the moisture, we installed a SmartSump and dehumidifier. 

The top of the driveway by the garage had sunk along with some cracks forming. The driveway was starting to fall apart. He knew that is he didn't get it fixed now, it would cost more in the future, and this was his forever home. 

We used poly-level to lift the slabs along the garage and nexus pro to seal the cracks and the joints. He was over the moon about the finished product and was very pleased about the professionalism of the crews and Thrasher in general.
