Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Houseowner Debra K. recently moved to Wausa, NE where she would settle in her forever home. She chose to remodel the entire house except for the basement after noticing the foundation walls were beginning to fail. Familiar with Thrasher and the quality of work we do, she made the right choice and gave us a call.

 One of our System Design Specialists, Ryan Van Cleave, arrived in Wausa, NE to perform a complete inspection of the home. Ryan indicated there was stage-two wall failure in three different walls, and over time would continue to move inward. During the inspection Ryan also noticed the support beams beneath the floor were severely cracked and lacked the structure the floor would need for years to come. In order to make her forever home a reality, Debra made the decision to follow through with both solutions.

 To combat the failing foundation walls, the team installed our PowerBrace wall support system and wall anchors to stabilize them permanently without any invasive drilling or digging. Then, SmartJacks were installed to replace the existing support beams to give her flooring the structure it needs to last. These Thrasher solutions gave Debra the confidence she needs to begin remodeling her basement.

 In addition to the outcome, Debra was more than pleased with our efficiency throughout the duration of the project. Her basement is now a usable space, and ready for her to complete her forever home.

One of the walls in Mike M.’s laundry room wasn’t doing so well. He was growing concerned about it because water was seeping through. Since he uses the space, he wanted to seek out a long-term fix that would allow the space to be usable. As a returning customer, he knew Thrasher could provide the solution he needed.

Service Technician Christian Hodson arrived at Mike’s home to see what we could do. Christian was able to identify that one of the walls was deflecting and was in stage 2. We installed PowerBraces, permanently stabilizing the wall. Also, to prevent water from entering again, the area was waterproofed with WaterGuard.

Lisa G. noticed that the concrete was starting to settle and not looking the best. She was concerned with the area becoming a trip hazard. After seeing a Thrasher TV commercial, she decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Ben Linnebur was able to come up with a solution to fixing the concrete. He identified that the concrete sidewalk leading down to the backyard had cracked and settled about 2.5 inches creating a large void. We used PolyLevel to lift and level the gap. Then applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the joints. Lisa was very pleased with the concrete and how knowledgeable the crew was.  

Diane K. buried a downspout over a year ago and noticed a large crack in her driveway and right next to the driveway a sunken spot appeared in her yard where the soil had washed away. Worried that the crack would cause future problems, she wanted an immediate solution that would take away the worry.  She had previous work done with us and felt comfortable in our work.

System Design Specialist Corey Nelson went out to her home. He was able to identify that the large crack on the left side of the driveway would continue to wash the soil out and also cause the middle part of the driveway to settle as well. We used PolyLevel to fill and level the void. Then applied caulking to the joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant.  Diane was relieved that this work would prevent the concrete from settling and was happy with the project.

Homeowner Joy M. was struggling with the drywall in her bedroom and office. She also noticed the floor was starting to slope. Concerned about further damage happening, she wanted to get a permanent fix. After hearing about Thrasher from family, she decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Mike Lutmer went out to her home. He was able to identify that the home was starting to settle and one of the walls in the basement was bowing. We installed push piers to lift and level the area where the settling had occurred. We also used Geo-Lock Anchors to stabilize the lower level and prevent further damage from occurring. Joy was thrilled with the final outcome and the teamwork from the crew.
