Pipes Burst in Norfolk, NE
Homeowner Jill bought her home in the fall. And in the winter, her pipes froze and burst. This is her forever home so she knew she had to do something. She remembered her brother recently used Thrasher to waterproof his home, so she decided to give us a call, too. Once we sent our System Design Specialist, Jesse White, out to her home, we were able to identify the problem. Upon inspection, we found her crawlspace was uninsulated and not encapsulated.
Jesse came up with a plan and sent our install team out to work their magic. We ended up encapsulating and insulating to keep the interior of the crawl space clean and dry. On top of that, we also installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to help keep the space dry.
Now Jill can rest knowing her home is protected and her pipes are prepared for the following winter.
Wet Basement in Earlham, IA
Homeowners Cheri and Doug kept getting water in their basement. They called Thrasher Foundation Repair, worried that the water would start creeping into other parts of their home. Doug was a little skeptical, but once we sent System Design Specialist, Kevin French, to their home to look at the basement and then explained exactly how we do things and why we do it, his mind was at ease.
Kevin found a small portion of a wall in the cellar of their basement leaking badly. After developing a plan, he sent the install team out to work their magic. We ended up installing WaterGuard on the wall that was leaking. WaterGuard is a drainage system designed to capture water seepage through walls. It's nearly invisible and essentially makes sure that water never reaches your basement floor. In addition, we ran a lateral line from the WaterGuard to the sump pump for proper drainage.
Cheri and Doug now have a water-free basement! They were so happy they chose Thrasher Foundation Repair to give them an in-depth inspection and solve their problem at the same time.
Concrete Repair in Abilene, KS
Roger and Peggy just bought their home and have a family member in a wheelchair. So it's important to them to have a smooth and level walkway so their family can easily move around with no safety hazards. They had heard about our reputation and how knowledgeable we are in our craft, so they gave us a call. Jon Graves, one of our System Design Specialists, went out to their home to assess the situation. He found they had a walk down about 2 inches and a back pad that was sinking too. The rest of the concrete wasn't looking so hot, either. It seemed to be on the verge of sinking and would greatly benefit from protection, as well.
After inspection, Jon laid out a plan and got our install team to work. They lifted, leveled, and sealed all areas that had sunk. And then they also lifted and leveled all other concrete to help protect it. Next, they used CompressionGuard to help protect from street creep.
Roger and Peggy were so happy to find a company that explained everything so clearly and helped them understand how and why we do what we do. They were so excited to get their concrete leveled so they no longer have to worry.
Water in the Basement in Lincoln, NE
When it rains a lot, homeowner Rick has to deal with water coming into his basement. On top of that, he's noticed a lot of water pooling on his patio. Rick travels a lot and always gets worried that his basement will flood when he's out of town. To ease his anxiety, he knew he needed some help. He heard about Thrasher through friends and family and decided to give us a call. Our System Design Specialist, Matt Stice, went out to Rick's home to see what was going on and come up with a solution. Matt discovered the water was coming in on the east wall in the basement. The best plan of action was to install floor-to-ceiling Cleanspace with WaterGuard on the east and south wall with a Super Sump Plus in the southeast corner to help with waterproofing. And then, to stabilize the wall, we installed Geolock Anchors.
Rick was so excited that this home he's had for 27 years is now in tip-top shape. And so thankful that he no longer has to worry about water on his basement floor when he travels.
Leaning Wall in Emporia, KS
Homeowner Jeff was extremely concerned about his retaining wall. He has watched it over the years get worse and worse and is afraid it could collapse any second. He knew he had to do something about it. He had heard about Thrasher from friends and neighbors, so he decided to give us a call.
We sent our System Design Specialist, Jon Graves, out to take a look at the wall. After inspection, Jon confirmed the retaining wall was falling and deflected a couple of inches. It needed to be stabilized for safety to keep their home in shape.
To fix the problem, our install team used anchors to permanently secure the wall. These anchors will be able to tighten the system and pull the wall back into place over time.
By the end, Jeff was impressed. He liked being able to see how and why we do our work. And he especially liked having a warranty. Now, he doesn't have to worry anymore about his wall and the safety of his home.
