Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The customer had multiple areas settling as well as street creep starting to damage the foundation of the home. We lifted and leveled the concrete as well as put in a proper expansion joint.

The customer is very happy about the end result. He said that as they were starting and during the process, he was skeptical and wondering if they made the wrong decision. Once the project was done, he was impressed with the end result!

The customer's house was built around an old foundation. The original foundation is from the 1880's and is made of stone. The additional foundation was putting weight on the stone walls and causing them to fail. There was 6 inches of deflection on the wall. We used Everbrace because of the severity of the issue. The wall failure was to the point that this was our only option. 

They were getting water leaking in from multiple places. They had an existing sump pump that wasn’t doing much. We were able to waterproof everything and give them a new sump pump system. We used WaterGuard TM because they had a nontraditional footing, a MPS lateral line, a Triple-safe sump system and full cleanspace. They want to be confident the basement stays dry.

In Ankeny, Iowa the concrete settled and created a tripping hazard on the sidewalk. They did not want anyone to get hurt. We used Polylevel foam to level out the slabs and we used NexusPro joint sealant to caulk the joints so no water gets in underneath the slab.

The old gutters that they had on the barn were corroded and sagging.  They could only do one downspout for the entire run because otherwise they would be sending water onto the driveway area that has poor drainage and turns into an ice rink in the wintertime.  When the gutters sagged, they would overflow and drip on the patio/entrance area. We used gutter shutter to direct the water to the back of the barn and make sure they stayed pitched correctly.
