Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner's forever home was starting to settle. She at first noticed that the tiles in her kitchen had been pulling up. After fully replacing them twice, the problem of kept happening. Concerned about her home, she decided to give us a call after her family gave her our name.

We sent System Design Specialist Tom Studer to inspect the interior and exterior issues that happened in this homeowner's house. Tom pinpointed settled foundation areas and proposed a plan to stabilize these areas for the long term. The homeowner was relieved that this could be fixed permanently, so she went forward with the project. Tom and his team got straight to work utilizing a push pier system to stabilize the home. This system pushed the home back to its original level and it will keep it stabilized there. 

The homeowner was extremely happy with the clean-up process and how friendly the crews were. Check out her lifted home!

Russ M. and his brother own a building that is over one hundred years old. They began to notice there were cracks in the foundation walls, and the floors began to sag. They knew it was time to find a solution to help with their settling building. Foundation begins to crack and settle simply because of the dirt or soil it is sitting on. Over time, soil begins to erode and shift, causing the weight of the structure to shift with the movement as well. This will cause cracking, settling, and even sinking floors. 

For this job, Push Piers were installed. This product is made of galvanized steel and allows our team to push down into the earth, to help lift the existing structure. These piers were installed on the inside of the structure, underneath the flooring. Russ and his brother can now rest easy that this one-hundred-year-old building will be preserved for the future. 

This customer reached out to us because her seawall next to her yard and home was falling toward the lake. She didn't want to have to deal with the cost and hassle of replacing it if and when it fell all the way in.

When we performed an inspection, we concluded the seawall was falling toward the lake because it had no support on one side and a lot of pressure from the soil on the other. 

This isn't a typical job for us, but we are always happy to take on a challenge and solve a unique problem. To fix the wall, we installed GeoLock anchors to secure the wall on the side of the water. This will give that added support on the side that didn't have anything and will prevent the pressure from the soil from caving in. 

This homeowner wanted to protect their home to maintain its value. They know this is their retirement home, so they must keep it in good shape for their future. Since they've worked with Thrasher in the past on other homes, they knew they could trust us to get the job done right. 

Dillon Gubbels was the one to perform the inspection. He found that the house had wall failure along the back wall's foundation. This was causing separation cracks on their interior drywall. The soil outside their home was driving this problem and the pressure is applied to their foundation.

We fixed this by installing our wall support solution, Geo Anchors. The anchors were the ideal solution to be the least intrusive on their finished interior while stabilizing their foundation.

The customer was happy with the results and even said, "Thrasher is a company that stands behind their work."

These homeowners lived in their house for many years and recently, decided to have their entire foundation replaced. They had several issues with their old foundation and chose to replace over repairing it. Unfortunately, the foundation was not the issue. It was the soil.

After doing a full replacement, they started to notice cracks forming on their brand new foundation walls. They knew at this point they had to get it fixed before it turned into a bigger issue. 

Austin Sharon went out to their home to perform an inspection. He found the foundation walls were tipping in and causing damage to the support beams. The north and south walls were both failing. This was happening because of the soil around the foundation. To fix, we stabilized the walls using a combination of PowerBraces and Anchors, which will straighten the walls over time. 

The homeowners are relieved not to have to worry about foundation issues anymore.
