Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Rebecca is a homeowner in Salina, KS and she was nervous about the foundation of her home. The floors were sagging and she was worried about the effect it was having on her home. System Design Specialist Austin Ure went out to her home and was able to identify that the floor joists were not properly supported.

The crew installed SmartJacks and steel beams to give the floor much-needed support and raise it back up to a safe level. Rebecca was thrilled to know her floors were properly supported!

Charlie and Sarah were getting ready to do some projects on their home in Bushton, KS. Before starting any projects, they wanted to have their foundation walls inspected. After doing some research on foundation repair contractors, they gave Thrasher a call.

System Design Specialist Rob Griffin went out to Charlie and Sarah’s home. Rob recommended installing PowerBraces because one of the walls had started to bow out due to pressure from the outside. The crews installed the PowerBrace giving Charlie and Sarah peace of mind.

Traci B. is a homeowner in Canton, KS, but she recently accepted a new job opportunity elsewhere that required her to begin the selling process of her current home. To maximize the value, she wanted to have it inspected and have any repairs done, if needed. Thrasher was recommended to Traci by multiple close friends and family members, and she felt comfortable and confident when giving us a call to come and inspect her home.

Our System Design Specialist, AJ LaVoie, arrived at the Canton, KS home and began the thorough inspection. AJ noticed multiple cracks had formed in the drywall and quickly realized it was because the main support beam of the house was sagging due to moisture and poor structure. Traci opted to have our teams install four of our SmartJack support systems to support the main beam and lift the floor to its original state to close the gaps in the drywall.

Traci couldn’t have been more excited with her Thrasher experience and the permanent solution we provided. We not only made the home a safer environment, but we also restored her peace of mind so she can move forward in the selling process with confidence.

Dennis & Almetta I. have owned their home in Wellington, KS for a long time. Years back, they added an addition to the home and were now facing settlement issues. They decided to call Thrasher to learn about foundation repair options.

System Design Specialist Josh Brown went out to their home for an inspection. He was able to identify that soil was being washed away due to poor drainage. Also, the footings for the addition were very shallow and that was causing stabilization issues. The crew installed PushPiers to stabilize the wall and lift the settled areas, fixing any future problems. We also lifted the interior concrete of their master bedroom with PolyLevel, getting rid of the trip hazard. The downspouts were also buried to prevent water from collecting around the foundation.

Kelly R. is a proud homeowner in McPherson, KS, and wanted to begin planning for retirement by maximizing the value of his home. Before making any home improvements of his own, he wanted to guarantee the foundation of the home was permanently stable. All four of the basement walls were experiencing wall failure, but some were much more severe than others. Kelly wasn’t sure where to begin looking for a solution, but after a quick Google search, he was immediately impressed by our reviews and extensive reputation. Without hesitation, Kelly gave us a call to provide a permanent solution for his damaged foundation.

To begin the foundation repair project, System Design Specialist Sean Robinson arrived in McPherson, KS to perform a full inspection on the home’s foundation. Sean determined the walls were failing due to constant hydrostatic pressure over a long period of time. Kelly chose to have Thrasher install GeoLock wall anchors for the more severe areas and our PowerBrace wall support system on the rest. The GeoLock wall anchors attach to stable external soil to slowly return the wall to its vertical structure over time. The PowerBrace permanently stabilizes the wall in its current position to ensure the safety of the homeowner.

Kelly was overjoyed with the outcome of the project. Not only was his foundation secure and prepared to stand the test of time, but he was impressed throughout the entirety of his Thrasher experience. Our teams were able to restore Kelly’s peace of mind and give him the confidence he needs to progress into retirement.
