Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was worried about his wall coming into his finished basement further because it had already started to cause interior damage. The reason this was happening was because hydrostatic pressure from his backfilled area was pushing on the area, causing it to move in. To fix the problem, we installed 5 GeoLock earth anchors to stabilize his wall and straighten them over time. Plus, we ended up finishing this project without disturbing the basement! 

This homeowner was concerned with his home's foundation and the interior damage that was starting to occur as a result. Our team went out to take a look at the issue and concluded that hydrostatic pressure pushing on the walls from the outside caused wall deflection. Deflection is the bending of joists, trusses, or rafters. We used over 20 PowerBraces and 4 push piers to fix the foundation on all sides of the home. PowerBrace is a system that can be tightened over time, slowly reversing the wall failure. 

This homeowner wanted to protect her basement in the case of pump failure or a power outage. She uses her basement as storage and doesn't want her belongings to get ruined. We installed an UltraSump during our annual maintenance with this homeowner. An UltraSump is a battery backup system that includes a separate pump, battery, and charger. 

This customer needed his crawlspace encapsulated as a contingency to complete the sale of his home. The crawlspace was exposed to the earth and was extremely dry and dusty. We used CleanSpace with drainage matting underneath to seal off the home from the earth. This will help prevent dirty air from entering the home and will also improve heating and cooling efficiency. 

These homeowners were worried that someone will trip and fall because their front porch stairs were broken and had sunk. They also frequently have friends over so they feel like it is an eyesore and an embarrassment. This is their forever home, so they want to enjoy coming home and utilizing the space their front porch provides. 

We assessed that the soil under the concrete was voided and with the weight of the stairs, it cracked the slab at the bottom of the last step. The two slabs leading up to the stairs had also fallen and it was only a matter of time before the rest of the slabs experienced the same fate. To restore the curb appeal of the concrete we started by using a jack to prop up the stairs and inject PolyLevel foam under them to stabilize the area. We then lifted and stabilized the other two slabs that had fallen. All control joints were cleaned and caulked with NexusPro. Now this couple can feel good about having friends come over!
