Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Kara A. is the landlord of her rental property in Hutchinson, KS and was worried about the structural damage water was having on the walls. In addition, she was worried about mold growth due to the moisture and wanted the new tenant to be able to utilize the whole home. After scheduling an appointment, she loved the detailed explanation we were able to provide.

 System Design Specialist Sean Robinson fully inspected the home, and Kara opted to have our team install our full basement waterproofing system. The team began by waterproofing the full perimeter and connecting a lateral line to waterproof the floor. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to prevent moisture and mold growth. Lastly, PowerBraces were installed on three separate walls to permanently stabilize the foundation from moving inward, and can be tightened over time to return the walls to their vertical position.

 Kara was thrilled with the team’s efficiency and dedication to quality. Our solutions transformed the basement into a livable space both structurally and aesthetically.

James S. takes great pride in his home and became concerned when he noticed a crack on the side of his foundation. At one point the crawl space flooded due to a broken pipe and wanted to make sure his foundation was stable. After hearing good things about Thrasher, he decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Corey Little went out to James’s home. There was settlement on the corner of the home that had caused the crack that James saw. We used helical piers to stabilize the corner of the home to prevent further damage and settlement. James also wanted to make sure that his crawl space was okay and could be used as storage. So we encapsulated the space with CleanSpace, drainage matting and put SilverGlo up on the walls to insulate for energy efficiency. A smart drain was also installed to alert him if water ever entered the space again and to keep humidity down, we also put in a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

Longtime homeowner Mary Kay G. was having problems with water coming down one of her walls. After having another contractor come to fix the water intrusion with no luck, Mary decided to give us a call.

Service Technician Marlon Marroquin and crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, effectively keeping water out. Then encapsulated the space with CleanSpace so that water would no longer come through the walls. Mary was happy that the water would no longer be a problem.

Sandra E. is a retired homeowner in Wymore, NE and wants peace of mind moving forward with her home. In addition, she has plans to leave the home to her children and doesn’t want the existing foundation issues to be a problem. Two of her foundation walls were bowing and beginning to fail due to expansive soils. The walls were buckling inward causing a negative slope and allowing water to seep in. Sandra was familiar with our reputation and in order to find a quality permanent solution, she gave us a call.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Trevor Stokes arrived to fully inspect the failing foundation and provide a variety of solutions. Sandra opted to have our team install PowerBraces on both walls, and ShotLock on the north wall due to the extreme damage. Our PowerBrace wall support system is designed for bowing walls and with the purpose of permanently stabilizing it in place. Over time, the braces can be tightened to straighten the walls and return them to their vertical position.

 Sandra was very thankful for the solutions our team was able to provide and the communication throughout the duration of the project. Sandra can now retire with confidence that her home is built to stand the test of time.

Page B. is a homeowner in Omaha, NE and was concerned with a crack and possible settlement on the back patio. Familiar with Thrasher and our reputation within her family, she gave us a call to come inspect the possible damage. System Design Specialist Jeremy Haynes arrived at the Omaha home to analyze the problematic area. It was evident that the back patio had settled in a few areas causing water to rest against the foundation when it rains. With unsealed joints, the water was pooling near the walk out basement door and running under the back patio.

 Page opted to have our two-part concrete protection service installed to ensure this is a permanent fix. The team began by installing our PolyLevel foam to lift and restore the settled areas to their original state. Then, with NexusPro they sealed all the control joints and along the foundation to seal out water and prevent any future damage.

 The homeowner was pleased with the results and effectiveness of our concrete protection system. Page wanted the job done right and continues to put her faith in the solutions Thrasher has to offer.
