Before & After Photos

Get the support your foundation needs with this wall brace and beam system! Wall brace and beam solutions are used to repair bowing, buckling, or significant cracks in foundation walls. 

This homeowner lives alone and rarely could get into her basement. She was worried that the walls would cave in between the times she could get down there. She knew of Thrashers reputation, and gave us a call. Kevin French came out to meet with her. After inspection her foundation, it was clear her walls were in very bad shape. Over time the soil around her foundation had shifted and allowed her walls to be less supported. Kevin proposed we use Power Braces to give that support back to the wall. Power Braces are one of our foundation repair products. They are floor to ceiling braces that are installed to the wall. This prevents the walls to stop caving in, and overtime can straighten the walls back out. Check out the before and after of this process! There is no doubt this homeowner has the peace of mind she was looking for. 

Robert B. started to notice that the floors in the crawl space were sagging, and that doors and windows were not closing properly. Not wanting the problem to get worse, he decided to seek out a solution right away. After having Midwest come out to do other work, he felt comfortable in having us come back out.

We sent Service Technician Michael Holtz out to Robert’s home. Robert had already braced the crawl space but was ready to finish the job. The crew installed SmartJacks to support the crawl space and the sagging floors. Then also insulated the crawl space with SilverGlo helping the space become energy efficient. Robert was happy that we were able to create a permanent solution.

Homeowners Linda and Severin J. noticed that there was cracking on one of their foundation walls and were worried about the impact this would have on their foundation. Linda and Severin were also looking to update their sump pump. They decided to give Midwest a call.

System Design Specialist Nicholas Hruska went out to their home. Upon inspection Nicholas was able to identify three walls had structural defects. Their sump pump was also having mechanical failure and the basement had high humidity levels.  The crew installed three PowerBraces so the walls would be supported and stabilized. Then a new sump pump and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was also installed to control humidity. Linda and Severin were extremely pleased with everything and how the crew kept the area clean.

The individual contacted us out of concern that their wall was showing signs of structural instability, with visible cracks and noticeable bowing. They had witnessed other walls collapsing rapidly and wanted a reliable solution to prevent a similar situation in their home. They selected our services based on our reputation for providing the best solutions at a reasonable price and were pleased with our professionalism and conduct during the project.

To address the issue, we installed power braces, which are designed to support and stabilize walls. These braces extend from the floor to the ceiling, providing vertical support and preventing further bowing or movement. The power braces offer the advantage of gradually straightening the wall over time, restoring its stability and integrity.

By utilizing power braces, we provided the customers with a reliable and effective solution to reinforce their compromised wall. They can now have peace of mind knowing that their wall is supported and can be gradually straightened, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of their home.
