Foundation Repair in Iola, KS

Homeowner Jeanne was looking for a better solution to repair her sagging floors to ensure the home was stable.  Since she was a previously satisfied customer, she chose us to help her with this issue.

System Design Specialist, Kerry headed out to provide Jeanne a free same-day free estimate.  We determined that we needed to install a steel supplemental beam under the center support beam.  We then added additional Smart Jacks to support the beam which helped stabilize the floor.

Wall Failure Saved in Okoboji, IA

This homeowner recently purchased two cabins in Okoboji, one on the water, and one for family to stay in when they came to visit. While she didn't know that her foundation walls were problematic when she purchased the cabin for her family to stay at, she quickly noticed the wall crumbling and she was unsure of what to do. She saw our team doing work across the street for a neighbor, and she came over to see if we could take a look at her wall.

Service Technician Wes Marshall came right over after he finished up his original project to inspect this homeowner's walls. Wes found that the north foundation wall was starting to crumble into pieces and that the wall was starting to slide inwards, past the bottom brick. Wes realized that this was a big problem that could be solved if the homeowner acted quickly. Our team got to work quickly installing our EverBrace System which is used only in extreme cases of wall failure because it acts as a new foundation wall. 

The homeowner was so happy with the finished product and she was relieved that she didn't need to have a new foundation wall poured for the cabin. Check out her EverBrace System!

Extreme Foundation Repair in Peyton, CO

This customer has lived in her home for quite a while, but recently she's noticed one of her basement walls start to crumble. She's concerned that if it isn't fixed soon the wall could completely fail. The home was built a long time ago and likely had a crawlspace foundation. At some point they dug out the crawlspace and made room for storage and for the HVAC and water heater. Rather than installing a proper concrete wall, they put a concrete skim coating over the dirt wall that was dug out. Over time the pressure of the soil caused the concrete to fail. To repair the wall we used two Smartjack XT to support the floor above, and EverBrace to reinforce the basement wall to prevent any further degradation. 

Foundation and Fireplace Separation in Centennial, CO

These homeowners recently purchased their home for their kids and grandkids to live in, however they had some concerns with the foundation and needed to get it fixed. After looking into companies that do foundation repair, they reached out to us for a free estimate.

We sent System Design Specialist Rob Griffin to inspect the home's foundation to determine what was causing the foundation concern. Rob found that the fireplace was pulling away from the house, creating a gap between the outside wall and the chimney. He also saw that the garage was sinking because of weak fill soil that could not hold the weight of these structures. After thoroughly understanding the problem, Rob talked to the homeowners about options to solve this, and they loved how he described the options, so they decided to move forward with us. Our team installed Push Piers to stabilize the home and they were able to fix the problem by leveling the chimney and home.

The homeowners were very happy with the quality of work the crew did on their home. Check out the leveled chimney and home! 

Stabilization with Push Piers and Smart Jacks in Littleton, CO

In Colorado, the soil can cause problems for many foundations. This home was built on special supports called caissons to stop it from sinking into the soil. But there was a mistake—the house sank and twisted because the foundation was too heavy for the caissons. Other contractors thought the walls were leaning, but that wasn't the real problem. Even the engineer didn't put the support piers in the right place to stabilize the whole house.

 

To fix it, we made a plan to install piers all around the house to stop the home from sinking and to stabilize the foundation. We also used smart jacks to support the main beam in the middle of the house. 

 

Before Thrasher fixed the problems, the homeowner wasn't allowed to sell the house because of the problems it had. But when we fixed it, they said the crews did a good job and finished on time. They were so happy that they even asked us to do more work with concrete for them. They trusted us with their home and we hope you can too.
