Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

New homeowner Kelsie K. and her family recently moved into a new home. As they started doing renovations, they found a plumbing leak and as they started to remove the drywall, they found mold and wall cracks. Worried about the wall cracks and how this could impact their renovations, Kelsie decided to call Thrasher.

System Design Specialist Jeremey Scott went out to Kelsie’s home. He was able to see that two walls were bowing 2.5” and one of the walls were starting to shear. Using a mixture of wall solutions, we able to stabilize the walls using PowerBraces and lever brackets. C-Channel anchors were installed to protect the walls from further sheering. Kelsie and her family where extremely happy to have a peace of mind knowing their walls were fully stabilized.

Kristina W. purchased her family home and is going to restore it. Before starting with the renovations, one of the foundation walls had collapsed. Needing a long-term solution that would last she decided to call Thrasher.

System Design Specialist Warren Peters went out to the home.  He was able to identify that one of the walls had completely collapsed and the other walls were showing signs of failure as well. We used a combination of PowerBraces with ShotLock to stabilize the walls. Kristina was super excited to know the foundation walls were completely stabilized and excited to continue on with the project.

Homeowner Yvonne L. had some major concern about the foundation walls in her basement. She noticed that the walls started to have major cracking and was worried about the foundation. Looking to maintain her home, she decided to give Thrasher a call.

Service Technician Deryk Heitman went out to Yvonne’s home. He saw that the walls were having major deflection and cracks. We fixed the problems by using C-Channels, which are mainly used on block walls or walls that are broken horizontally, to support the entire wall when necessary. The C-Channels were able to move the wall back into its original position and eliminate the shearing from getting worse. Yvonne was extremely happy with the end result and glad that her walls were now stable.

Kathy S. is a homeowner in Guide Rock, NE with a future of staying in this estate. However, the brick foundation of her home was deteriorating and beginning to fail. In order to protect her investment, she decided it was time to have it taken care of. Familiar with our reputation at Thrasher, she gave us a call to get the job done right.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick arrived at the scene to inspect the failing foundation walls. After presenting a variety of solutions, the customer opted to have our ShotLock Restoration System installed to permanently fix the walls. This product utilizes our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize both the external, and internal surfaces of the foundation.

 Kathy was more than pleased with the appearance of the restored foundation, and the display of professionalism from our teams throughout the duration of the project.

Patricia N. is a proud homeowner in Lincoln, NE and has plans in place of this being here forever home. Thrasher has helped in the past with making this home the one that can stand the test of time by waterproofing the basement. During the annual maintenance, our team always performs a thorough inspection to make sure small problems aren’t going unnoticed, and therefore turning into bigger problems. Upon the inspection, System Design Specialist Wes Marshall noticed two basement walls showing signs of stage-two failure, caused by the soil surrounding the foundation. Fortunately, the problem was spotted in its early stage and Thrasher could provide a solution before it were to get much worse. Without hesitation, Patricia put her trust in Thrasher to give herself a peace of mind, and confidence that it was going to be done right.

 Wes Marshall and his team arrived in Lincoln, NE to begin the project. Patricia opted to have them install our PowerBrace Support System to permanently stop any movement inward from the walls and reverse the damage over time. PowerBrace is a galvanized steel beam that runs the full height of the foundation and then is fastened to the concrete basement floor. It’s then attached to the floor joist using one of our brackets to give it the permanent security it needs. All installation is done internally and saves Patricia the stress of any external excavation.

 Patricia N. was grateful that we were able to spot the failing walls early and provide a variety of solutions for her benefit. She was impressed with the crew’s wealth of knowledge and presentation to help her understand the process. Patricia is now stress-free and happy with her forever home.
