Jenni W. has been unable to use her backyard pool to settling concrete on the deck. The concrete was settling right next to the pool and she was worried it would become a tripping hazard. She decided to give Thrasher a call to see if we could lift the concrete.
System Design Specialist Max Huggins went out to the home and was able to come up with a solution for the deck. The team was able to lift and level the concrete with PolyLevel and then apply NexusPro Sealant to the joints to seal up the cracks to prevent water from getting into the concrete. Jenni was not only happy with the work done but impressed with the communication and thoroughness from the crew.
Jill is a homeowner in Lindsborg, KS, and needed some foundation repair. Her foundation was cracking and splitting in multiple locations, so she decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair. System Design Specialist Austin Ure went out to Jill’s home.
During the inspection, Austin was able to see that the cracking and splitting that Jill saw had also caused large cracks to form upstairs as well. The crew installed Push Piers to stabilize the foundation. Once the Push Piers were installed Jill was glad to have gained peace of mind knowing her foundation was supported and stabilized.
Did you know having very heavy items in your home can cause your floors to sag? This is what happened to LeAnna's home. She had recently put in new tile and drywall, only to have it crack again. It was time to get to the bottom of it. She called Thrasher and we came out to find out what was really going on in this home. Jason White found the home had a very large crawl space without much support. Without that support, things like heavy furniture upstairs will make floors sag.
It's an easy fix, though. We installed SmartJacks and supplemental beams in her crawl space to help fully support the floor and the weight.
LeAnna was so happy with the results and that the crew was able to get the floor within 1/16" throughout her home.
This homeowner had wall anchors placed in his home a few years ago by our team, however he had not had any annual maintenance appointments scheduled to ensure that he was properly taking care of the anchors. He decided that he needed peace of mind about whether he was taking care of his wall anchors correctly, so he gave us a call.
We sent Service Technician Jason White to inspect the wall anchors and reassure the homeowner that he was properly taking care of the wall anchors. Jason looked over the installation pictures with the homeowner and pointed out the differences that had already been made since the installation of the wall anchors. The over 100-year-old home was secure and everything was functioning to push the walls back into their original position over time.
The homeowner was very happy to have peace of mind that he was doing the right thing with his wall anchors, and he already scheduled another annual maintenance check in for next year. Check out how far the anchors have moved this homeowners wall since they were installed!
Kelly R. is a proud homeowner in McPherson, KS, and wanted to begin planning for retirement by maximizing the value of his home. Before making any home improvements of his own, he wanted to guarantee the foundation of the home was permanently stable. All four of the basement walls were experiencing wall failure, but some were much more severe than others. Kelly wasn’t sure where to begin looking for a solution, but after a quick Google search, he was immediately impressed by our reviews and extensive reputation. Without hesitation, Kelly gave us a call to provide a permanent solution for his damaged foundation.
To begin the foundation repair project, System Design Specialist Sean Robinson arrived in McPherson, KS to perform a full inspection on the home’s foundation. Sean determined the walls were failing due to constant hydrostatic pressure over a long period of time. Kelly chose to have Thrasher install GeoLock wall anchors for the more severe areas and our PowerBrace wall support system on the rest. The GeoLock wall anchors attach to stable external soil to slowly return the wall to its vertical structure over time. The PowerBrace permanently stabilizes the wall in its current position to ensure the safety of the homeowner.
Kelly was overjoyed with the outcome of the project. Not only was his foundation secure and prepared to stand the test of time, but he was impressed throughout the entirety of his Thrasher experience. Our teams were able to restore Kelly’s peace of mind and give him the confidence he needs to progress into retirement.
