Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Amanda had a long history of water in her basement and was sick of dealing with it. The number of sleepless nights carrying buckets of water out of her basement would astonish you. That's when she said, "Enough is enough... I'm tired of being a human sump pump!" After sealing the racks in her slab and joints and still getting water in her basement, she knew it was time to call the professionals. 

One of our System Design Specialists, Brock Scott, got the call and headed out to Amanda's home to figure out what was going on with her basement. Upon inspection, Brock found evidence of effervescence, a white powdery substance that forms due to moisture, on all of her basement walls. To fix her issue, we decided to use WaterGuard, a Triple Safe sump pump, PolyLevel for concrete, and CleanSpace. The concrete outside her home was angled to drain water towards the foundation wall. So we raised that to prevent the water from draining directly to the basement. On top of that, we also did a full perimeter WaterGuard and an entire wall of CleanSpace to direct water straight to her new triple safe sump pump.

At the start of this, Amanda was desperate for help. She was at her wit's end and needed a system she could trust and that would work. 

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.
