Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home was experiencing hydrostatic pressure, which is when saturated soil exerts a lot of pressure on foundation walls they start to bow inward. The homeowner had only bought the home a year prior and started to notice the walls coming inward and was concerned the home was going to collapse. To fix this, we installed two wall stabilizers: PowerBraces and Geolock Wall Anchors. 

PowerBraces are a wall repair system that's designed to stabilize basement walls. They are steel beams that go from floor to ceiling and are secured tightly against your wall with brackets anchored to the floor. Once tightened, they are able to reverse wall failure and straighten the wall overtime. GeoLock wall anchors are also designed to permanently stabilize your foundation wall. They are a heavy duty anchor system that are embedded into stable soil away from your foundation wall and then connect to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. 

This homeowner had a problem with their walls bowing and showing signs of foundation failure, like cracks and crumbling. Thrasher Foundation Repair's solution for this is called the EverBrace, a wall restoration system that is made of steel panels and I-beams used to reinforce the existing structure. Our installation team also injects a special foam to fill the gaps between the wall and the panels to make it stronger and look nicer. This new support system took the load off the failing wall, giving the homeowner a strong foundation without the high cost and disruption of replacing the entire foundation. 

Years and years of washout and dryout took a toll on this heavy concrete block porch. The house was settling with noticeable cracks on the interior and exterior. The homeowner even recalled hearing a creaking noise at night. We installed helical piers on the porch and house to fix this and permanently stabilize the house. 

The foundation walls in this home were deflecting inwards due to increasing pressure from the soil. To fix this, we stabilized the foundation walls using our PowerBrace wall system.

This home had water coming in through the foundation and because of that, the brick foundation was failing. To fix the foundation walls, we installed our EverBrace Wall System, which is shown in the pictures above. We also installed WaterGuard french drain system with a TripleSafe sump pump system to help keep water out.
