Before & After Photos

At first glance, this might look like your everyday basement. But if you take a closer look, you can see cracks in between the cement blocks and a white, chalky substance known as efflorescence, AKA a clear indication there has been water in your basement. After inspection, we realized hydrostatic pressure was the culprit. To waterproof, we installed a vapor barrier, an interior drainage system, and a sump pump to keep water out!

A homeowner in Stilwell, KS wanted her driveway to look new again. After using PolyLevel foam to lift the sinking concrete and our NexusPro joint sealant to protect the joints, this driveway got the look she was looking for!

The steps leading up to this home were in need of some serious help after they had begun to sink and pull away from the home. Our team was able to use PolyLevel Foam to raise the steps back to the original place stabilizing the ground underneath. After the work, the steps are now safe and looking as good as ever!

This customer was worried that her home was a tripping hazard due to concrete settlement. The biggest area of concern was the front porch. When we inspected, we found that the two slabs on their front walkway had settled at a couple different joints. This happened due to the soil underneath the slab drying out and shrinking, then eroding away when it would rain. 

To fix, we injected a poly foam to lift the slab and eliminate the tripping hazard. We then sealed the joints with a joint sealer to make sure moisture doesn't find its way under the slab again. 

This Overland Park foundation repair job included the installation of foundation piers, as well as epoxy crack repair.

A qualified foundation repair contractor or structural engineer should be consulted to determine if a crack in your foundation is merely cosmetic or of a more serious nature.

The goals for this residence were to achieve a minimal lift, to stabilize the structure on the east and south foundation walls, and to close the large crack on a corner. Thrasher and the consulting geotechnical engineer determined that resistance piers would be ideal to provide supplemental support in this situation.

The photos below show the large diagonal crack that had appeared on the corner of the foundation wall. The crack gaped open a half-inch or more.

Thirteen resistance piers were installed along the interior of the east and south foundation walls. Twelve linear feet of urethane injection was used to fill and seal the large crack after the piers were installed. The piers were hydraulically pushed into the soil beneath the home until a predetermined load-bearing stratus was reached.
