Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Look at the difference in this sidewalk! This concrete sidewalk was unlevel and cracking, which can be a potentially dangerous situation. Our team lifted and stabilized the concrete slabs with PolyLevel polyurethane foam and then sealed the joints with NexusPro. Nexuspro is a silicone-based sealant that is long-lasting and durable! 

When Bill hired someone to mudjack his walkway and front porch over a year ago, he soon realized that it was not a permanent solution. The front porch had sunk more than an inch, and water was causing erosion, leading to settling issues with several sidewalk slabs. Seeking a reliable and long-lasting fix, Bill turned to us for assistance.

Understanding the limitations of mudjacking and the need for a more durable solution, we used PolyLevel Foam instead. PolyLevel is a state-of-the-art polyurethane foam that is injected beneath sunken concrete slabs to lift and level them. By carefully applying PolyLevel to the areas of concern on Bill's front porch and sidewalk, we were able to restore their original elevation and eliminate the trip hazards caused by the sinking.

To ensure further protection against water intrusion and prevent future settlement, we applied NexusPro sealant to all the joints on the porch and along the sidewalk. NexusPro is a high-quality silicone-based sealant that forms a strong and flexible barrier, keeping water out and preventing further damage.

By utilizing PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant, we provided Bill with a comprehensive and long-lasting solution for his front porch and sidewalk issues. Unlike mudjacking, which proved to be a temporary fix, PolyLevel offers reliable and permanent stabilization, restoring the structural integrity of the concrete surfaces.

Bill can now enjoy a level and safe front porch, free from trip hazards, and a well-sealed sidewalk that can withstand water infiltration. Our commitment to delivering superior results ensures that Bill's investment in our services will stand the test of time.

When this customer reached out to us, she had multiple concerns regarding her crawlspace and its impact on her home. Firstly, she needed time to address the issues with her walls but recognized the need to resolve them in due course. Additionally, she noted that her kitchen floor above the crawlspace remained persistently cold, prompting her desire to utilize the crawlspace for storage. However, the space was old, dingy, and filled with cobwebs, making it unsuitable for her intended purpose. To address these concerns, she sought our assistance in encapsulating and insulating her crawlspace. 

Understanding the importance of a clean, moisture-controlled crawlspace, our team recommended the installation of CleanSpace sheeting. This durable and reliable material acts as a barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into the crawlspace from the ground. By encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, we aimed to create a controlled environment, protecting both the space itself and the floors above.

To further enhance the functionality and durability of the encapsulation, we utilized drain matting underneath the crawlspace. This added layer of protection serves to prevent the CleanSpace sheeting from tearing or getting damaged by the ground.

The comprehensive encapsulation and insulation project was completed successfully, providing Tracy with a transformed crawlspace that met her needs and expectations. She expressed her satisfaction in a 5-star review, commending the fantastic job and the timely completion of the project.

In the middle of their basement living room, these homeowners noticed a concerning sag, which was a direct result of a missing load-bearing wall support. Investigation revealed that the previous homeowners had removed a load-bearing wall in the basement, leading to compromised structural integrity.  Our team assessed the situation and recommended the installation of SmartJacks and a supplemental beam to fully stabilize the middle of the room.

SmartJacks are adjustable steel support posts specifically designed to provide reliable support for sagging floors and weak beams. These robust supports are strategically placed to distribute the load and reinforce the compromised area.

To further strengthen the structural integrity, we installed a supplemental beam that would provide additional support and stability. This beam was carefully positioned and secured to effectively redistribute the weight and prevent further sagging or damage.

Sarah had become increasingly concerned about a crack in the shape of a stairstep in her foundation wall, fearing potential instability of the entire home.  We recommended the installation of power braces on the affected walls.

PowerBraces are a reliable and effective solution for stabilizing foundation walls that have experienced movement and cracks. These steel braces are specifically designed to support and reinforce foundation walls, providing the necessary strength and stability.

Our experienced team efficiently installed PowerBraces on the two walls that required stabilization. These braces were carefully positioned and secured to ensure optimal support for the foundation walls, preventing further movement and potential damage.

By installing PowerBraces, we effectively addressed the concerns related to the stair-step crack in Sarah's foundation. The PowerBraces provided the necessary support and stability, ensuring that her foundation wall remained secure and her home structurally sound.

The structural integrity of a foundation is crucial for the overall stability and safety of a home. By choosing Thrasher Foundation Repair and opting for power braces, Sarah took an important step towards securing her foundation and protecting her investment for years to come.
