Before & After Photos

Years and years of washout and dryout took a toll on this heavy concrete block porch. The house was settling with noticeable cracks on the interior and exterior. The homeowner even recalled hearing a creaking noise at night. We installed helical piers on the porch and house to fix this and permanently stabilize the house. 

This homeowner in Loomis, Nebraska had noticed that one of her basement walls was leaning inward, and so she called Thrasher Foundation Repair to take a look and propose a solution before things got any worse. Using our CarbonArmor wall repair system, we were able to stabilize the failing wall before it required a more expensive solution and also avoid digging up the yard.

Mike and his wife really wanted to remodel their basement. When they started demo, they realized their foundation was settling. They knew that if they continued to invest in their remodel the settlement issue would just end up damaging all of their hard work. They had to fix the settlement issue first. 

When they called us with their problem, we sent out Daniel Hilkermann to inspect. We found that Mike's home was settling on the north side, pretty substantially. He had bad cracks along the exterior that were affecting the drywall inside. To fix the solution, we installed our Model 288 Push Pier System. The Push Pier System utilizes high-strength round steel tube sections and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and lift settling foundations. 

Mike is a shop teacher and actually brought his students out to see the installation of the piers! Everyone was super excited to see our process and gain knowledge of something most people aren't familiar with. Mike got an opportunity to teach his students and fix his settling foundation in one! 

This homeowner in Broken Bow, NE had a foundation wall caving in and water getting into the basement of their home. They didn't want the rest of the house to be damaged because of the lack of support on the foundation. 

Our crew came into the house and noticed sagging floors, causing the wall to fail and allowing water to leak in through the wall and floor. Since the wall was a total failure we used our Everbrace system to support the wall, this system transfers the load from the failing structure to the new support panels. We then added a TripleSafe Sump Pump, to be able to flow and drain the water leaking into the basement out away from the foundation of the home. 

This homeowner was worried that her retaining wall would fall and her deck to collapse as they were both unsteady. She knew after having used our services in the past that we would be able to help ease these worries and find solutions for her again, so she gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Brock Scott to inspect the retaining wall and deck structures in order to thoroughly understand the problems and design solutions to stabilize the structure. When inspecting for the problem, Brock noticed that the house appeared to have significant water damage to the wooden support wall as well as weakened soil due to soil washout. He knew that this damage would not be beneficial for supporting the deck, so he found that new support posts and anchors were needed. One of our installation teams came to the home and started to utilize SmartJacks to reinforce the deck supports and to support the roof structure in that area. After that, they utilized GeoLock Wall Anchors to pull the retaining wall back overtime which would help the structure to further stabilize.

The homeowner was extremely happy when it was all said and done. She was especially thankful that the crew took note of the plants nearby and avoided harming them. Check out the new wall anchors pulling the wall back into place!
