Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After noticing damage to the brick façade of the houses exterior during our inspection, we ruled out settlement as the cause and found that failing walls behind the finished walls in the basement were the root cause of the water problem this homeowner was experiencing. Water had found its way into the basement through gaps created by the shearing walls, allowing mold and rot to flourish in the damp, dark environment.

Using  a combination of PowerBrace beams, a wall anchor and our EverBrace wall support system, we were able to stabilize the basement walls. To resolve the water issue, we installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system along with a sump pump system and vapor barrier to redirected water out of the home. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to resolve the high humidity in the basement.

Thrasher was called in to level the sloping floors of this older home. The home was settling on a limestone foundation, making the project especially challenging. To level the floors, we installed our SmartJack XT support system in the basement to restore support to the failing joists, and to prevent the problem from recurring in the future. The homeowner was very happy with the end result, and felt taken care of throughout the process.

Melissa H. In Emerson, NE needed to do something about the bowing walls in her basement before she could make the space safe and suitable for finishing. To return support to the old, failing brick walls, we installed our Everbrace wall support system along all of the affected walls. We also installed a waterproofing system to resolve a water issue that contributed to the wall failure, making the basement clean, dry and ready to finish.

Thrasher was called out to return stability to a house addition that was settling, working around a existing piering system that had failed, installed by a contractor that would not stand behind their work. Sometimes the lowest price is no bargain.

A homeowner in Independence, MO noticed a water issue in her basement. It was coming through the walls and along the base of the walls as well. She was worried about the problem getting worse and was frustrated because it was a finished basement.

We were able to suggest and solution that she was happy to move forward with. The paneling had to be removed and the carpet pulled back before we were able to start the project. We installed a perimeter waterproofing system called Waterguard. We also installed a vapor barrier system called CleanSpace. Lastly, we installed a sump pump to prevent future water problems. The customer was very pleased with the outcome of the project.
