Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowner James has been making improvements to his home throughout the past few years and it was now time to tackle his cracked and sinking driveway. He had two driveway slabs that had dropped. Which created areas that water, snow, and ice would collect. It got so bad that as he was shoveling snow, his shovel would get snagged on those sunken areas. That's when he said "Enough is enough!" and called Thrasher. We sent System Design Specialist Bobby Bartow out to inspect his driveway and discuss solutions with James. 

Bobby decided the best course of action would be to use PolyLevel foam to lift the areas that were down. And then use our NexusPro Joint and crack sealer in and around the areas we lifted to ensure those areas were safe from moisture. When we were finished, James was so grateful that we were able to get the job done, do it well, and even do it in 18-degree weather. 

The homeowner has lived in his home for 20 years and knew he needed to fix his crawl space. It has been collecting moisture and began to settle, causing uneven floors. The main beam had settled 1 1/2 inches and had extremely high moisture content causing mold and rot. 

We Installed SmartJacks to lift the settled beam and encapsulated crawlspace with CleanSpace. To help with the moisture, we installed a SmartSump and dehumidifier. 

The top of the driveway by the garage had sunk along with some cracks forming. The driveway was starting to fall apart. He knew that is he didn't get it fixed now, it would cost more in the future, and this was his forever home. 

We used poly-level to lift the slabs along the garage and nexus pro to seal the cracks and the joints. He was over the moon about the finished product and was very pleased about the professionalism of the crews and Thrasher in general. 

The homeowner had water coming into their basement, which was used as a family room. This was coming in through cracks in their foundation walls.

We used anchors to stabilize the affected walls and WaterGuard with full height CleanSpace to protect their basement from ever getting wet again.

Homeowner Debbie noticed her basement wall was bulging out quite a bit. Scared it would collapse and damage her home, she called Thrasher. That's when we sent System Design Specialist Corey Little out to her home to see what was going on.

After inspection, he determined the wall was in stage 2, almost stage 3, of wall failure with a 2 1/4" deflection. Right on the cusp of what we call extreme wall failure. Corey then took the time to discuss with Debbie what the issue was, why it was happening, and laid out how we can fix it. 

Once we decided on a plan, we went back to Debbie's house and used Powerbraces to support the wall. We chose to use Powerbraces because they will help avoid any obstructions on the other side of the wall. On top of that, it'll also help the wall to straighten overtime. 

Debbie let us know how relieved she was to hear her problem was fixable and happy she no longer has to worry about it.
