Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Young couple, Sophia and Ivan, noticed their back door wasn't opening. And since Sophia was having a fence installed to allow their kids to safely play outside, she decided to dig a little deeper and find out why her back door wasn't working. That's when she called Thrasher. Once we got on site and took a look around, we found that their home had settled into the soil along the back foundation wall. We also noticed some wall failure on that same wall, which explains why the back door wouldn't open. 

To fix the problem, we installed helical piers on the back foundation wall and lifted the foundation. We then installed GeoLock Anchors to support the wall from further wall failure. Reflecting back, Sophia and Ivan really appreciated how System Design Specialist Clint Gerber took the time to explain what was wrong and walk them through the process of how we were going to fix it. Now, they can spend their summers with their children, worry-free, knowing they can safely hang out in their backyard and easily use the backdoor again to come and go as they please.

This home in Springfield, MO was purchased for renovation and repair to be sold in the future.  The buyer noticed that the floor was sagging and the wood posts below were beginning to rot.

We sent out System Design Specialist, Justice, to provide a free, same-day estimate. We determined that installing our Smart Jack system would level the floor above and provide stability to the home.  This leaves a sturdy, permanent fix that actually addresses the issues that caused the floors above the crawl space to sag in the first place.

Homeowner Paul was remodeling his home to prepare it. He knew his son was going to move in or he was potentially going to sell. Either way, he wanted to make sure his foundation wall was fixed prior to the remodel. The problem Paul was facing was his wall against his crawlspace was failing. So he called up Thrasher. He knew Thrasher would complete the repair the right way and he would not have to worry about it after. We sent System Design Specialist Clint Gerber out to Paul's home to do an inspection and find the best solution. To resolve Paul's issue, we decided to use Everbrace, Powerbrace, and Geolock Anchors. The space within the basement area was very limited, so each product had to be strategically placed to allow Paul to continue using the basement as a basement. Paul was very happy with the outcome and glad he doesn't have to worry anymore about his foundation walls!

This home in Lark Park, IA had deteriorating basement walls that, in addition to bowing and cracking, were also letting cold winter air freely pass through the gaps created by movement over the years, leaving the basement feeling cold and uncomfortable. To return safety and stability to the walls, we used our new EverBrace wall repair system. We also installed SilveoGlo insulation material to keep the cold air out.

This home in Schaller, Iowa was in real danger of foundation collapse as the brick walls of the basement deteriorated and deflected inward - a sign that water pressure from saturated soil around the homes foundation had been building up for awhile. To prevent a catastrophic foundation event and return safety and stability to the home, we installed out new EverBrace wall support system. The customer was thrilled and relieved to have the problem fixed!
