Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Brad and Lisa S. are proud homeowners in Waukee, IA and noticed concrete of their entryway was beginning to lean forward away from the home. In addition, the driveway was lacking the protection it needed to survive the test of the time. The couple wanted to take care of these issues before they became more expensive over time and became a potential tripping hazard for their guests. In order to find a quick and permanent solution, Brad and Lisa reached out to Thrasher Foundation Repair to inquire about the variety of solutions we offer.

To begin the project, System Design Specialist Dan King arrived at the Waukee, IA home to perform a thorough inspection on the problematic concrete. It was clear the down spouts were pushing water towards the concrete and eroding the soils underneath causing it to lean. As a result, the control joints were beginning to fail and allowing water to seep in. Our teams began repairing the concrete by installing our PolyLevel foam to lift and level the leaning concrete. They followed this up by applying NexusPro to all cracks and joints to permanently prevent water from entering and causing future damage.

Brad and Lisa S. couldn’t have been more pleased with the appearance and effectiveness of the solutions we provided. They immediately recommended Thrasher Foundation Repair to all their neighbors for any concrete needs.

Homeowner Joan F. was tired of the musty smell in her home. She would notice it when she was gone for an extended time and then notice the smell upon return. She was ready to fix this permanently and gave Thrasher a call.

System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie went out to Joan’s home. He was able to see that there was water intrusion in the crawl space that was causing the musty smell. The crew installed a full perimeter drain line system in the crawl space and tied together with a SuperPump system. We then encapsulated the entire crawl space with CleanSpace to permanently separate the outside from the rest of her home. We finished this project by burying her discharge line from the sump pump. Joan was happy to never have to the musty smell in her home again!

Longtime homeowner Cindy B. has been noticing her concrete is settling. The worse area was her front steps which has settled so much there had become a major trip hazard. Concerned about the rest of the concrete not being safe, she decided to call Thrasher for concrete repair services.

System Design Specialist Britton Wood went out to Cindy’s home. He was able to recognize that 4 slabs in the driveway had settled. Also, the stair were below code raising concern for safety and caulking in the driveway was coming up and flaking. We used PolyLevel for the concrete slabs and stairs, this raised and leveled the area back up to a safe height. We sealed all the cracks and caulking with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Cindy was pleased to have all of the concrete back up to code!

Rick E. is a homeowner in Jewell, IA and has struggled with wet basement issues for years. All he wanted was a basement that no longer leaks and to prevent mold growing in order to protect his grandchildren. The space wasn’t functional, and therefore taking away from the potential enjoyment of the home for Rick and his family. Due to our reputation and ability to provide a permanent solution, Rick called Thrasher Foundation Repair to return his basement to its original state.

To begin the project, System Design Specialist Rich Lahtrum arrived in Jewell, IA to perform a full inspection. Rich indicated that there was water breaching the foundation causing the walls to leak. To combat this, our team installed our CleanSpace waterproof plastic barrier and routed the water away using the WaterGuard drainage system. These two products combined provide a permanent solution to any wet basement and peace of mind for humidity, and mold growth by keeping moisture out.

Rick E. was more than pleased with our custom solution that gives his family the opportunity to utilize that space once again. They were impressed with our efficiency, variety of solutions, and dedication to installing a product that’s designed to stand the test of time.

Diane S. was always unhappy with the condition of her concrete on her driveway. Delivery trucks had left a toll on the concrete and after seeing her neighbors new concrete, she wanted to get her fixed. In need of fa concrete repair contractor, she decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.

System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie went out to Diane’s home. The concrete and sidewalk slabs sunk due to the weight of trucks that pulled up on to the area. Moisture had also gotten under the concrete due to exposed cracks and control joints. We were able to level out the sunken slabs with PolyLevel and seal up the cracks and control joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant. To prevent further damage to concrete and the home’s foundation we also installed CompressionGuard in the bottom of her driveway.
