Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner's basement wall in Bussey, IA was starting to fall and causing real concerns for the home! After our team installed our EverBrace wall support system, this wall is now stable and has the support it needs to be safe for this family. 

Did you know that the road in front of your house can hurt your foundation? Concrete grows when it's hot and shrinks when it's cold. To reduce the issues caused by temperature changes, Thrasher installs expansion joints in exterior concrete slabs such as sidewalks and driveways. These joints absorb and spread out the stress, allowing the concrete slabs to expand and contract without touching, which lessens the risk of cracking.

However, over time, standard expansion joints may deteriorate, crack, or become filled with debris. When this occurs, the concrete expands altogether, resulting in street creep and a lot of pressure where the driveway meets a garage slab or foundation wall.

To Prevent this, we used Compression Guard on this driveway, which fills the joint in a way that reduces the problems we see with standard expansion joints. 

This basement was in bad shape with bowing walls and extensive water damage. To fix the issues, we installed CleanSpace and EverBrace to waterproof this basement and support the foundation walls. These two products work together to prevent water from entering the basement and stabilize the walls permanently. 

This homeowner in Basehor, KS wanted to finish the basement but needed to do something about the walls before they could do so. The walls were cracking, and water was getting through the cracks causing other issues in the basement. Unsure about what to do next, they decided to call Thrasher and see if we could help them fix this. 

After looking at the wall and foundation of the home our team decided the best solution for their problem was the use EverBrace wall restoration system. This system uses steel corrugated panels and beams that work together to stabilize the foundation walls by adding unbeatable support. EverBrace transfers the load from the failing wall to the new durable support panels. 

Our customers can now feel safe in their basement and use the space however they please. 

These homeowners originally called us out to look at cracking they had in the basement floor It was not problematic, but through the rest of the inspection System Design Specialist, Coley O'Halloran, discovered signs of street creep pushing on their foundation walls. The already had foundation issues caused by street creep, so when they found their new expansion joint had failed they knew it was something they needed to fix. Coley proposed we use our CompressionGuard to help this issue. It creates a true buffer from concrete expansion, giving long lasting results of foundation and concrete protection. To fix the issue of the cracking and sinking of the concrete from street creep, Coley proposed our Concrete Protection System. This bundles our Polylevel foam to fill voids underneath slabs and NexusPro which seals up all the joints and cracks. The homeowners loved this solution, and we sent out our installation team. There is no doubt these homeowners have the peace of mind they were looking for. Check out of the before and after of this project attached!
