Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Seward, NE, a local church had a bowing wall in the basement. They didn't want the issue to get worse as they store items and have meetings in the rooms adjacent to that wall. A few of the members of the church had used Thrasher before, and so they had us out to see how we could help them. System Design Specialist, Joe Dearth, came out, did an inspection, and found there was expansive soil with little access to sunlight that was causing hydrostatic pressure. Eventually, this pressure was strong enough to force the wall inward. 

To solve this issue, Thrasher installed 12 PowerBraces with different brackets to support the floor joists. Once installed, the PowerBraces can be tightened to straighten the wall back out. Check out the before and after of this project! 

This crawlspace was experiencing an array of issues. It was extremely damp and had high humidity. This weakened the floor system, allowing it to sag and drop under the weight of the home. We encapsulated the entire crawlspace to fix these issues, making it a controlled environment. We then installed a Sedona dehumidifier to dry out the crawlspace and flooring system and prevent any future mold growth. Then we installed 8 galvanized steel beams and 16 smart jacks to to permanently stabilize the floors and lift them back into place, closing the gaps between the walls and ceiling. 

Does your home have sagging floors due to wood rot or shifting soil? We can help! Our quick and safe solution, SmartJacks, can level your floors by reinforcing the joists in your crawlspace or basement.

This wall was in dire condition, reaching the point of crumbling and collapsing onto the basement floor. Due to the severe condition, our only solution was our EverBrace Wall Restoration System.

The EverBrace system offers an innovative approach to tackle severe wall failure head-on. The system uses steel corrugated panels and steel I-beam that work together to stabilize existing foundation walls. We inject a specialized rigid foam behind these panels to fill every gap, and move the weight from the original walls to the new walls. 

The purpose behind this system is to redistribute the load from the compromised wall to the new support framework. It's the best alternative to full foundation replacement. Instead of removing the entire foundation, homeowners and business owners can opt to use the EverBrace system and get the same results as replacing the foundation.
