Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Chris and Meghan S. were getting ready to put their home on the market. They were concerned that buyers would be concerned with the concrete on their driveway. Looking for a long-term solution that would get rid of any hesitation, they decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.

System Design Specialist Dan King went out to their home and was able to identify that the walkway was settling unevenly all the way up to the front door. There was also a broken area in the bottom of the driveway that needed to be lifted and leveled. The side slabs also had large voids underneath that needed to be closed. The crew applied PolyLevel to lift and level the settled concrete and fill the voids. Then we used NexusPro Joint Sealant to make sure all of the joints were sealed. Chris and Meghan were thrilled with the final look of the concrete!

Darrell and Dixie N. have been doing work on their home and wanted to make sure that the foundation was stable. Darrell and Dixie noticed that the drywall was cracking and the floors were buckling. Concerned that they work they have done on their home would be worth nothing, they decided to call Thrasher for a permanent solution that wouldn’t cause any more problems.

The crew went out to their home and saw that the crawl space had water, the floor was buckling, and drywall cracks were throughout the home. We installed 22 SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floor. We also put in a sump pump and fully encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace so the space would stay dry. Darrell and Dixie were very excited to no longer have to worry about the floors or crawl space.

Elaine K. noticed for a while that one of the walls in her garage had a crack but was never sure what caused it. Looking to keep up on her home and not wanting the crack to get worse, she knew she needed to have a contractor come out to her home. Elaine previously worked with Thrasher and knew we could help her.

Service Technician Daniel Hilkemann went out to Elaine’s home. He was able to see that street creep was causing the walls in the garage to crack. The crew installed CompressionGaurd in the driveway, which helped alleviate the pressure being applied to the garage and foundation walls. Elaine had a great experience with Thrasher’s crew and was happy that her garage walls would no longer have any problems!

Houseowner Debra K. recently moved to Wausa, NE where she would settle in her forever home. She chose to remodel the entire house except for the basement after noticing the foundation walls were beginning to fail. Familiar with Thrasher and the quality of work we do, she made the right choice and gave us a call.

 One of our System Design Specialists, Ryan Van Cleave, arrived in Wausa, NE to perform a complete inspection of the home. Ryan indicated there was stage-two wall failure in three different walls, and over time would continue to move inward. During the inspection Ryan also noticed the support beams beneath the floor were severely cracked and lacked the structure the floor would need for years to come. In order to make her forever home a reality, Debra made the decision to follow through with both solutions.

 To combat the failing foundation walls, the team installed our PowerBrace wall support system and wall anchors to stabilize them permanently without any invasive drilling or digging. Then, SmartJacks were installed to replace the existing support beams to give her flooring the structure it needs to last. These Thrasher solutions gave Debra the confidence she needs to begin remodeling her basement.

 In addition to the outcome, Debra was more than pleased with our efficiency throughout the duration of the project. Her basement is now a usable space, and ready for her to complete her forever home.

One of the walls in Mike M.’s laundry room wasn’t doing so well. He was growing concerned about it because water was seeping through. Since he uses the space, he wanted to seek out a long-term fix that would allow the space to be usable. As a returning customer, he knew Thrasher could provide the solution he needed.

Service Technician Christian Hodson arrived at Mike’s home to see what we could do. Christian was able to identify that one of the walls was deflecting and was in stage 2. We installed PowerBraces, permanently stabilizing the wall. Also, to prevent water from entering again, the area was waterproofed with WaterGuard.
