Real Estate Market Prep

This homeowner had to pull her house off the market due to structural issues. She wanted these foundation issues addressed and fixed in a timely manner so she could sell her home at full value. The soil on the outside of the wall had pushed the poured wall in about an inch, causing cracks in both corners and several drywall cracks in the finished area. We installed GeoLock earth anchors to permanently stabilize the foundation wall and prevent more inward movement.

A customer was worried about their garage floor because there were big gaps around the edges, and they were afraid that rodents would sneak in during the winter. The options they were given were either too expensive or temporary. But Thrasher had a plan to save the day and their concrete. We used our PolyLevel solution to fix the problem at a much lower cost. We were able to start the work the next day and finish quickly. The customer was happy to know that their floor could be fixed without spending too much money.

Leaning Chimney Repair

This homeowner just purchased his home and has big plans to fix it up. Before moving forward with his projects he wanted to address his chimney that is leaning away from the house. It's fairly common for fireplaces to settle and can be caused by several things. The back-fill soil could be sinking and no longer supporting the structure or the gutters and downspouts may not be moving water far enough from the foundation. To support this chimney, we installed two push piers. The push piers will permanently support the fireplace by taking soil out of the equation. 

Push Piers in Boulder, CO!

This customer realized that one of his walls started pulling away from his house and was worried that the problem was going to cause extensive damage to the house. We discovered that settlement combined with the way the wing wall was built caused the wall to pull from the house. This issue also compromised the home's second-level deck. We stabilized this home's foundation by installing five push piers at the corner of the home. Our push pier installation is non-disruptive, can lift the foundation back to its original position, and it has a 25-year warranty! 

 

Cellar Waterproofing in Lesterville, MO

A homeowner in Lesterville, MO called us out because his cellar had problems with water intrusion for several years. After he decided it was too much of a problem and too timely to handle himself, he looked into our solutions and determined that with our decades of experience and our warranties that we would be a good fit to solve his unique cellar water problems.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Tiberghien to inspect the cellar and determine how to best prevent water from flooding it. Upon inspection, Nick found that the water intrusion was due to cracks in the walls and floor as well as the one path downhill to enter and exit the cellar. Cellars are easily flooded as they are fairly exposed to the elements more so than a basement and their single entrances usually lead downhill, providing an easy path for water to flow through. Nick talked to the homeowner about this problem and told the homeowner of our interior waterproofing solutions that could help prevent water from pooling once it entered the cellar. The homeowner was grateful that we proposed solutions and wanted to help him, so after his approval, our team got to work on installing waterproofing solutions. Our installation team utilized a full perimeter WaterGuard Drainage System with a Lateral Line to address all water that was coming through the cold joints and cracks. After this, the team worked to install CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to prevent water from coming through the wall cracks, as well as to help minimize the amount of moisture coming through the walls and reduce the relative humidity of the cellar. Finally, our team installed an Ultra Sump Pump with a buried discharge pipe to redirect all water coming into the cellar back outside.

The homeowners were very happy with the solutions our team was able to install. They said that is was the best because he had previously tried other solutions that failed. The homeowner now has the peace of mind that he won't have to worry about cleaning his flooded cellar every time it rains now. Check out this unique cellar transformation!
