Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This sinking driveway in Kansas City was lifted using PolyLevel! PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands under the surface of concrete, making it level and stable. Plus, PolyLevel is environmentally friendly!

This homeowner was worried about water coming into his home because of his patio sinking. There was big gap between where the wall ended and where the concrete should lay. He called Thrasher because he knew of our great reputation and professionalism. System Design Specialist, Mike Williams, came out to meet with him. Mike found the front patio was settling towards the house due to poor soil used as fill under the slab. Mike took these findings back to the homeowner and together decided on a solution. We used our Concrete Protection System, including Polylevel to lift and level, and NexusPro to fill in the cracks and joints. Best thing about our products, is that they are waterproof, so they prevent any more sinking due to washout. The homeowner loved this solution, and there is no doubt they are no more worried about water getting in or any trip hazards they had. Check out the before and after of this one! 

This family had a fox burrowing under her back porch. They were afraid that the void the fox created made her porch structurally unsafe. She knew of Thrashers reputation, and knew we were trustworthy. They gave us a call, and System Design Specialist, Mike Williams, came out to meet with them. Mike found the fox did dig a hole, and kept digging right under the porch. Mike and the family decided to use Polylevel foam to fill the void under the porch and NexusPro to deal the cracks caused by the void. The homeowners loved this solution, and we sent out our installation team. There is no doubt this family does not have any more worries of animals getting under their porch or the porch sinking or cracking anymore! Check out the before and after of this project! 

This homeowner was wanting to make sure her home was prepared and safe for her children who are going to take it over in the future. She did not want to leave any problems unsolved, that would cause her children issues into the years to come. She wanted a company that does things right and had heard great things about Thrasher, so she gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Corey Little, came out to meet with her. He did his inspection and came back to the homeowner with the findings. Corey found there was poor compacted soil, the heat we experienced this summer really helped contributed to the settlement. Joints in the problem areas were not sealed, allowing water to weaken or wash away the soil holding up the slab. The concrete did not have a functioning expansion joint which was leading to some damage from street creep on the garage slab. The slabs in front of her driveway gave her a speed bump into the garage and the walkway to the door was dropping down. Together, Corey and the homeowner, decided to use our Concrete Protection System, and an expansion joint. We used the Polylevel foam to lift up and level the dropped area. We caulked up any joints and cracks to fix and prevent water intrusion with NexusPro. We finally put in a proper expansion joint to absorb the expanding concrete from further movement towards the home. The homeowner was so happy to hear this would be a repair vs a replacement. Check out or before and after of this one!

This customer in Audubon, IA has been in the home since it was built and was planning on being there forever. Over the years he has noticed his steps starting to sink and crack as well as spots in his garage cracking. Wanting to keep his home in good condition and safe for him as he gets older, he decided to get these issues fixed. 

Upon inspection, our crew noticed many spots around his home had begun to settle causing the cracks and settling of his steps. This was caused by the soil underneath his concrete slabs being washed out. The team decided the best solution for this problem was to use PolyLevel foam to fill the voids and bring the concrete back into its original place. This foam also compacts the soil around the slabs, creating a stable environment that will ensure the garage floor and other slabs remain level for years to come.
