Concrete Repair in Des Moines, IA
This home had a large driveway with deep cracks. The homeowner wanted to extend the life of the concrete for as long as possible and avoid having to replace it at all costs. Concerned with people tripping, they knew they had to get it fixed. They worked with Thrasher Foundation Repair in the past, so they knew how timely and thorough we were on our diagnosis. We sent Mike Portel, System Design Specialist, to inspect the concrete and develop a proposal.
Upon inspection, he confirmed several concrete slabs across the driveway and sidewalk had settled anywhere from 1/2" to 1 1/2". To fix the issue, we used PolyLevel; a foam injected in pea-size holes that fill in voids underneath the surface of the concrete and lifts the current slab to its original position. To fix cracks and joints, we then used NexusPro.
The homeowners were extremely satisfied and surprised with how quick we got it all done!
Concrete Repair in Cedar Falls, IA
Kyle kept tripping on his walkway and driveway. Plus running a snowplow over settled concrete was the worst. So he contacted Thrasher Foundation Repair and liked our solution. Todd King, our System Design Specialist, went out to Kyle's home to see how we could help.
A few of Kyle's slabs had a lot of voids underneath the concrete, which is what made them sink. His sidewalk was also experiencing settled slabs due to the soil around it.
To fix this, we used our Concrete Protection System 3. This involves lifting the areas that had fallen with PolyLevel, sealing all the joints and cracks with NexusPro, and then we applied SealantPro to the entire area to prolong the concrete's life and keep water and chemicals from penetrating the concrete.
Kyle was so happy with the final result and best of all, no more tripping hazards!
New Concrete Already Settled in Waterloo, IA
Michelle recently worked with another company and replaced the concrete on her driveway and front entrance walkway. And to get it fixed, she called Thrasher Foundation Repair. We were able to get out on site, inspect her concrete, and then start leveling. We lifted the area and stabilized the rest of the walkway with PolyLevel. And then, we sealed all cracks and joints with NexusPro.
The result made it look good as new. And the homeowners were very pleased we had a solution to their frustrating problem!
Inconvenient Downspouts in Front of Steps in Lincoln, NE
Diane's discharge lines (from her sump system) were obnoxiously long, above ground, AND ran right in front of her front steps. Not only did it look odd, but it was also a significant tripping hazard. On top of that, she also had a downspout discharging directly onto her sidewalk, which would create an ice sheet that would get slick in the winter. So she called Thrasher, and we sent out Breyden Eckhout to do the inspection.
After looking at these issues, it was clear Diane needed Thrasher's help. Breyden proposed a solution and got our install team out to the house to get to work. We buried the discharge lines and downspouts underground using PVC and bubble pots to direct the water away from the foundation. This also took care of the trip hazards by no longer having them above ground in a high traffic area.
Diane was happy with the results and wished she had done it sooner!
Getting Driveway Ready for Selling in Junction City, KS
Ben wanted to sell his home. His driveway had deep cracks, and he didn't want that to complicate the sale or deter potential homebuyers. He needed a quick fix in a short timeframe, so he called Thrasher.
Travis Hickman, one of Thrasher's System Design Specialists, went out to Ben's home to see what we were working with. We found Ben's driveway had formed voids in the soil underneath the slab, and that's what was making it crack and settle. To fix we used PolyLevel to lift those slabs and fill in the voids with injected foam.
Ben was pleased with the results and the time frame we got them done.
