Before & After Photos

In Seward, NE, a local church had a bowing wall in the basement. They didn't want the issue to get worse as they store items and have meetings in the rooms adjacent to that wall. A few of the members of the church had used Thrasher before, and so they had us out to see how we could help them. System Design Specialist, Joe Dearth, came out, did an inspection, and found there was expansive soil with little access to sunlight that was causing hydrostatic pressure. Eventually, this pressure was strong enough to force the wall inward. 

To solve this issue, Thrasher installed 12 PowerBraces with different brackets to support the floor joists. Once installed, the PowerBraces can be tightened to straighten the wall back out. Check out the before and after of this project! 

To stabilize this settling sun deck, we installed a series of SmartJack support jacks along the perimeter of the structure. With the weight now evenly distributed, this deck can once more be enjoyed worry-free.

Shane F. could see the walls in his basement bowing in. Shane’s grandfather built this house and has been in the family for many years.  Shane wanted to restore the home to keep the house in his family. He wanted to fix his failing foundation and called Thrasher Foundation Repair.

We installed wall anchors, PowerBraces, and ShotLock to give Shane and his family a brand new basement wall. Shane went from having a failing wall to having a beautiful brand new wall.

Patricia W. has been worried about the floors in her home for quite some time. She noticed there was serve sagging and anxious that they would collapse. She decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo out to the home. He was able to identify that there was serve rotting out of the floor joists due to moisture that had occurred.  A carpenter came out and removed the subfloor and repaired the joists prior to install. We were able to support the floor as designed and also encapsulated the crawlspace with CleanSpace.

This homeowner was gifted this home from his father. He started to notice settlement on the back wall where the crawlspace was added and his floors were also sagging. He called Thrasher to come out and inspect. We found, upon inspection, that the add-on crawlspace was not supported sufficiently when it was built. The span from wall to wall was too wide and needed supports in the middle to help the slab not settle. 

To fix the issue, we used our I-beams to run the length of the crawlspace in smart jacks to support the beam so that the floor would not settle or sag.

The homeowner was very happy he doesn't have to concerned about that area and happy he can continue to live in the home that his father built.
