Before & After Photos

These customers had no idea they had a foundation issue until they wanted to get new windows installed. The window company mentioned that they believed the cracks on the outside of the house indicated something more was going on. We found that the home's foundation was settling and to fix that we installed 13 push piers to the outside of the home. 

From time to time, Ivan would get water in his basement. Then he noticed his floors were starting to sag. Worried about mold and the integrity of his home, he wanted to fix this problem, especially since he has plans to give this home to his daughter. He knew a band-aid fix wouldn't work and wanted a permanent solution. So he called Thrasher. One of our System Design Specialists, Austin Ahlf, went out to Ivan's home to figure out the root of the problem.

Upon inspection, we found that water was entering through the coal joints in the wall. On top of that, his crawl space was sagging as well. We used WaterGuard with a lateral to the sump pump to fix his water issue. We then used CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier, to divert any water intrusion and channel it away from the home. And then, for his crawl space, we installed SmartJacks to lift and level his support beams back into place.

Diane S. was always unhappy with the condition of her concrete on her driveway. Delivery trucks had left a toll on the concrete and after seeing her neighbors new concrete, she wanted to get her fixed. In need of fa concrete repair contractor, she decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.

System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie went out to Diane’s home. The concrete and sidewalk slabs sunk due to the weight of trucks that pulled up on to the area. Moisture had also gotten under the concrete due to exposed cracks and control joints. We were able to level out the sunken slabs with PolyLevel and seal up the cracks and control joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant. To prevent further damage to concrete and the home’s foundation we also installed CompressionGuard in the bottom of her driveway.   

Homeowner Mike is anticipating selling his home in a few years and wants to fix a few things. He noticed his floors were sagging and soft. He also noticed his walls and doors were cracking and sticking. After doing research, he realized his home might have a foundation problem. 

Thrasher came out to his home to inspect the problem. Sheldon Sharp, System Design Specialist, found the main beams in Mike's crawlspace were rotted and had settled over time, which explains why the floor was soft and the walls were pulling away from the ceiling.

He brought our install team to the site to work their magic. They installed three I-beam support sections and jacks to support and push up the floor, which will give them more stability.

Mike is happy with the results and loved how professional and communicative we were through the entire process. 

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.
