Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Christopher A. just purchased his home and plans on living in it for a few years. But he noticed the walkway leading to his front door was a little wonky. The concrete had settled and the steps and front door landing had voids, causing water to pool and potential foundation issues. 

Christopher was worried. And didn't want it to get any worse or cause more damage. So he did a quick Google search and found Thrasher. He was impressed with our promise to fix and protect his home and our long-term warranty. 

After he reached out and let us know about his problem, we sent System Design Specialist Josh Brown to inspect and develop a plan of action. We decided to lift, level, and fill voids with PolyLevel. Then we used NexusPro caulking to seal the control joints and fix the cracks, which also helps prevent water from washout the soil under the concrete. On top of that, we also buried the downspouts under the sidewalk to prevent future soil erosion in the area and protect his foundation.

Christopher was blown away and thought the Thrasher crews were great and exceeded expectations. Now, Christopher no longer has to worry about his walkway getting worse or causing more damage to his home.

Homeowner, Josh, was worried about friends and family tripping over the walkway to his front porch. The first few slabs of concrete from the driveway to the front of the home had sunken, causing a significant tripping hazard. We were able to find a solution to Josh's concrete issues. We eliminated the gap between concrete slabs by lifting and leveling the concrete with PolyLevel foam. Using Nexus Pro, we sealed the joints to ensure that water could not ash out the soil beneath the concrete. This will prevent the concrete from sinking in the future. Josh can now rest easy his friends and family won't have any tripping hazards when visiting him at his home! 

Aesthetically, Joe hated the way his driveway looked. It was uneven, settled, and cracked. And he was scared that it would just keep getting worse and worse if nothing was done. After looking into concrete repair, he came across Thrasher.

That's when System Design Specialist, Brandon Powers, went to Joe's home to look at his driveway and come up with a plan of action. Brandon determined that erosion had caused voids throughout the concrete in the driveway and front walkway. The settlement in the concrete also caused several cracks. Brandon brought out the install team to get to work. The first step was using PolyLevel to lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. And then use NexusPro to seal the joints and repair cracks. 

Once everything was complete, Joe was so excited about how much better it looked. He 100% expected to have to replace the concrete and was shocked they were able to salvage the existing concrete and make it look great, at a fraction of what replacing would cost. 

Homeowner Dave had buried downspouts in his yard, which he loved. But he kept running into the same problem. The point where the discharge ended, there was always a soggy wet spot in his backyard. He knew this wasn't a huge issue, but he wanted to instead extend the downspout out into a pasture so his yard could stay nicer while still having a drainage system.

Instead of trying to figure out how to do it himself, Dave decided to call Thrasher. System Design Specialist, Tony Taylor, went out to his home to figure out the best plan of action. After inspecting the buried downspouts, it was clear the discharge was fine, but as Dave said, it did end 3 feet inside of the gated backyard area. Which allowed a pool of water to collect and created a soft spot in the soil after rainfall. 

To fix the issue, we extended the discharge another 10 feet. This helped move the water into a pasture and out of the backyard. It also allowed the soggy area to be in an area that the family doesn't move through often and will actually help the pasture grow better.

Even though it might not be a complex or pressing issue, it was a solution that helped improve the homeowner's quality of life and made it so he could enjoy his backyard more with his family. 

These homeowners built their home in 1999 and planned for it to be their forever home. But over the last 3-4 years, they noticed slab settlement and separation between control joints, which led to several tripping hazards. With the biggest concern being the ledges between the slabs.

The homeowners called Thrasher to fix it because they had another company come out to do foam and caulking work on the driveway several years ago, but unfortunately their product didn't last as long as anticipated. They had only offered to fix the isolated slabs. But after sending out our System Design Specialist, Britton Wood, to assess the situation, we decided to offer a more comprehensive and wholistic concrete protection system that will prevent the same problem from arising in other parts of their driveway in the future. 

After inspecting the concrete, we discovered multiple spots where the control joints were cracked all the way through. Which allowed water to get underneath and widen the gap between the slabs. On top of that, the previous company's foam lifting work had settled again, so we needed to re-lift the slabs and proactively prevent that happening in the rest of the driveway. 

With a plan set, our install team came out to their home to start making their driveway look good as new. We used the 2-part Concrete Protection System including PolyLevel foam and NexusPro Joint Sealant. This system helps lift and level settled slabs, stabilizes other slabs, seals the water out of the joints, and repairs any cracks throughout their driveway as well.

The homeowners were so happy their driveway was finally fixed and Thrasher did the project the way it should have been done the first time.
