Before & After Photos

Your home's foundation is the rock. And when signs of trouble start to show, it's time to take action, Maybe your stone, clay block, or brick foundation walls have begun to show unsettling signs of failure - bulging, bowing, cracking or even crumbling. Or perhaps your poured concrete or block walls are barely hanging on and about to cave in. That's where the EverBrace Wall Restoration System steps in.

The EverBrace system is an innovative approach that targets these issues head-on, providing a much-needed solution to foundation damage. Steel corrugated panels, and steel I-beams come together to reinforce your existing foundation structure. On top of that, a specialized rigid foam is injected behind the panels, filling every void between the existing wall and the panels. 

This system serves a huge purpose - transferring the load of the failing wall to the new support system. It's like a breath of fresh air for your foundation. One of the most remarkable aspects of the EverBrace System is its a great alternative to total foundation replacement. Yep, that's right. Instead of ripping out your entire foundation and dealing with the expenses and disruption that comes with that, the EverBrace System stabilizes your walls like new. With EverBrace, you're not just saving your foundation. You're preserving your peace of mind. Your home is safe, and therefore so is your family. 

Dennis & Almetta I. have owned their home in Wellington, KS for a long time. Years back, they added an addition to the home and were now facing settlement issues. They decided to call Thrasher to learn about foundation repair options.

System Design Specialist Josh Brown went out to their home for an inspection. He was able to identify that soil was being washed away due to poor drainage. Also, the footings for the addition were very shallow and that was causing stabilization issues. The crew installed PushPiers to stabilize the wall and lift the settled areas, fixing any future problems. We also lifted the interior concrete of their master bedroom with PolyLevel, getting rid of the trip hazard. The downspouts were also buried to prevent water from collecting around the foundation.

Rebecca is a homeowner in Salina, KS and she was nervous about the foundation of her home. The floors were sagging and she was worried about the effect it was having on her home. System Design Specialist Austin Ure went out to her home and was able to identify that the floor joists were not properly supported.

The crew installed SmartJacks and steel beams to give the floor much-needed support and raise it back up to a safe level. Rebecca was thrilled to know her floors were properly supported!

Longtime homeowners Albert and Kris R. love their home and wanted to keep the value and curb appeal of their home. They were having problems with the concrete on their front porch area and wanted a permanent concrete repair service. So, they decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Mike Lutmer out to the home to come up with a solution for Albert and Kris. Mike was able to identify that the porch and columns were settling outward. The columns on the front porch also supported the roof. After discussing the solution with Albert and Kris, we installed Helical Piers and were able to lift and rotate the columns back into place. During the whole project Albert and Kris were impressed with how dedicated the crew was.

Julie had a barn on her property that had been empty for several years. But she is now ready to fill it with livestock. Unfortunately, she had noticed the northwest corner of the barn was not looking good. Before letting her livestock call this barn home, it was important to her to make the necessary repairs first.

System Design Specialist, Brock Scott, visited the property to get to the root of the problem. He found that the building had a 4 part foundation wall that consisted of footing, a pit wall, a slab on top of the pit wall, and a concrete wall going around the perimeter. The northwest corner was falling away from the rest of the building and was suffering settlement damage. The weight of the concrete on the wall was causing it to break.

To stabilize the settlement, we used helical piers. Helical piers are giant metal screws driven into the soil to stabilize and repair a foundation or lift lighter structures. We then used a carbon armor strap to keep the corner attached to the barn.

Julie was so happy with the completed work and liked how we explained everything to her and informed her of any changes to the original plan.
