Before & After Photos

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.

Traci B. is a homeowner in Canton, KS, but she recently accepted a new job opportunity elsewhere that required her to begin the selling process of her current home. To maximize the value, she wanted to have it inspected and have any repairs done, if needed. Thrasher was recommended to Traci by multiple close friends and family members, and she felt comfortable and confident when giving us a call to come and inspect her home.

Our System Design Specialist, AJ LaVoie, arrived at the Canton, KS home and began the thorough inspection. AJ noticed multiple cracks had formed in the drywall and quickly realized it was because the main support beam of the house was sagging due to moisture and poor structure. Traci opted to have our teams install four of our SmartJack support systems to support the main beam and lift the floor to its original state to close the gaps in the drywall.

Traci couldn’t have been more excited with her Thrasher experience and the permanent solution we provided. We not only made the home a safer environment, but we also restored her peace of mind so she can move forward in the selling process with confidence.

Thrasher was called in to level the sloping floors of this older home. The home was settling on a limestone foundation, making the project especially challenging. To level the floors, we installed our SmartJack XT support system in the basement to restore support to the failing joists, and to prevent the problem from recurring in the future. The homeowner was very happy with the end result, and felt taken care of throughout the process.
