Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After this customer's concrete repair work, we got down to the source of the problem. Water from this exposed downspout was pooling up near the concrete and home's foundation. We buried the downspout to better move rain water away from the home. 

Homeowner Mike is anticipating selling his home in a few years and wants to fix a few things. He noticed his floors were sagging and soft. He also noticed his walls and doors were cracking and sticking. After doing research, he realized his home might have a foundation problem. 

Thrasher came out to his home to inspect the problem. Sheldon Sharp, System Design Specialist, found the main beams in Mike's crawlspace were rotted and had settled over time, which explains why the floor was soft and the walls were pulling away from the ceiling.

He brought our install team to the site to work their magic. They installed three I-beam support sections and jacks to support and push up the floor, which will give them more stability.

Mike is happy with the results and loved how professional and communicative we were through the entire process. 

The customer's concrete driveway was settling more than 3 inches next to the house and caused a lot of issues both functionally and aesthetically. The failing concrete was causing the brick facade to begin falling. 

To fix this, we used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete the full 3 inches, enough to put the facade back in place. This was then followed by Nexus pro to seal the joints and concrete for additional protection. 

Nicole and Gabae recently bought a 75-year-old dairy barn that had been converted into a home. Unfortunately, this home had a bowing wall and a few water issues, common issues found in older homes. With plans to stay for the long-term, they knew they had to get it fixed sooner rather than later. 

They had contacted another company, but their solution was invasive and involved removing the front porch altogether. Then they called Thrasher. We sent out System Design Specialist Eric Wulf to take a look at the problem.

Eric found that the wall was pushed inward 5 1/8 inches, the door above the area was sticking, and muddy water was entering the basement. He concluded that this was due to water weight, expanding soil, and the freeze/thaw cycle that caused the top of that foundation wall to move inward over a period of time. 

Eric decided the best course of action was to use our EverBrace Wall Restoration System. EverBrace is used for extreme wall failure. It's less disruptive than total foundation replacement, but still just as effective. It uses steel corrugated panels and beams to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls.

Our install team then got on-site and started to get to work. They installed galvanized steel panels with structural I-beams bracing them. They then sprayed structural foam between the steel panels and the original foundation wall to fill any voids between the new wall and the original wall.

Nicole and Gabae were so happy with the results and so happy they didn't have to compromise their front porch for a fixed foundation.

On the front steps of this home, there was a gap in the concrete. This was allowing for waster to get under the stoop and cause settlement. This affected the stoop even more as well as the nearby sidewalk. They needed these fixed to prevent tripping hazards. 

After inspecting the concrete issue, we applied Polylevel and Nexuspro to level out the tripping hazards and seal the gaps. The customer was so excited to have it fixed.
