Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner recently purchased this house and wanted to finish the basement to add a play area for their grandkids. But due to the moldy and mildewy smell, they first needed to address any water damage before renovating. We found water entering through the joints, and to prevent this from happening, we installed a interior drainage system to collect that water and redirect it by pumping it out through a sump pump. 

These homeowners inherited a 100 year old home from their neighbors. They now rent this home to their youngest boy, and started to see some bowing. They heard of Thrasher reputation and quality of work we have done with several other properties throughout the area, so they gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Joe Dearth, came out to meet with them. Joe did an inspection and noticed that washout from several years of rain, then the drought caused the soil to shrink. During the winter months the frost line would freeze and expand the soil into the home, adding a contributing factor to the bowing wall. There were too many utilities in the way to do PowerBraces, so Joe determined we use Wall Anchors. These are metal plates installed to the wall with a rod anchoring them 12 feet out into the existing yard. There is no doubt these homeowners are now feeling safe as ever in their home! Check out these before and after photos! 

This homeowner faced a common issue with their house: a dirt crawl space that posed various risks to their health, energy bills, and foundation. Recognizing the importance of addressing this concern, we implemented an effective solution using CleanSpace. Acting as a protective layer between the home and the underlying soil, CleanSpace provides a multitude of benefits.

One of the primary advantages of CleanSpace is its ability to prevent water from entering the home through the foundation walls. This is crucial as foundation walls often experience water leakage through mortar joints, cold joints, cracks, and window seals. By installing CleanSpace, we created a barrier that effectively blocks any potential water intrusion.

Moreover, CleanSpace offers numerous advantages for homeowners. Its attractive and bright appearance enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the crawl space. Additionally, the tough and vapor-proof liner reduces humidity levels, inhibiting the growth of mold and pest infestations. This, in turn, promotes a healthier living environment while also reducing maintenance costs.

Furthermore, CleanSpace contributes to improved insulation, resulting in warmer floors and lower heating expenses. 

By installing CleanSpace, we not only addressed the immediate concern of the dirt crawl space but also provided long-term benefits for this homeowner. 

This homeowner came to us with a pressing concern: they wanted to prevent their concrete cracks from worsening and preserve the integrity of their property. Having just moved in a month ago, they noticed that the cracks were already getting worse. Our inspection revealed that the driveway was being pushed into the house due to a phenomenon known as "Street Creep." This occurrence, caused by the expansion and movement of the road, exerted pressure on the foundation, leading to cracking and compression issues.

To address this issue comprehensively, we implemented a series of solutions. Firstly, we stabilized the back patio, lifted the pads at the garage, and elevated the sidewalk leading to the front door. By utilizing our trusted Polylevel system, we ensured that the driveway and sidewalk were stable and level. Next, we applied Nexus Pro, a premium concrete sealant, to fill the existing cracks and prevent them from expanding further.

In addition to these measures, we took preventative steps by employing CompressionGuards. These guards act as protective barriers against long-term damage to concrete driveways, garage slabs, and foundation walls. By replacing the traditional fiberboard expansion joints with our engineered expansion joints, we ensured that the concrete could flex and accommodate seasonal changes without compromising its integrity.

Their property is now safeguarded against further cracking and damage, allowing them to enjoy their new home for years to come.

This homeowner faced a significant problem with their porch steps: they were sinking into the ground, posing a tripping hazard for the family and detracting from the overall aesthetic appeal of their home. 

To address the sinking porch steps, we employed our trusted Polylevel Foam. By utilizing this innovative technique, we effectively lifted the front step, restoring it to its proper position and eliminating the tripping hazard. Additionally, we applied NexusPro, a premium sealant, to the back patio and front seams of the driveway. This not only enhanced the durability and longevity of these areas but also contributed to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Upon completion of the project, the homeowner expressed their utmost satisfaction. The elevated porch steps provided a safe and level entryway, ensuring the well-being of the family. Moreover, the application of NexusPro added a professional touch and increased the overall appeal of the back patio and driveway.
