Kristina W. purchased her family home and is going to restore it. Before starting with the renovations, one of the foundation walls had collapsed. Needing a long-term solution that would last she decided to call Thrasher.
System Design Specialist Warren Peters went out to the home. He was able to identify that one of the walls had completely collapsed and the other walls were showing signs of failure as well. We used a combination of PowerBraces with ShotLock to stabilize the walls. Kristina was super excited to know the foundation walls were completely stabilized and excited to continue on with the project.
Marissa is a new homeowner in Omaha, NE, and wanted to make sure the front porch was in good shape, so she called Thrasher. Service Technician Wes Marshall went out to inspect the porch and was able to see that the three support columns were starting to sink and that one of the supports had fallen over. The crew installed four Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam, giving the porch the right amount of stabilization. Marissa was thrilled to have Thrasher come out to her home and fix her porch!
This homeowner had been struggling for many years with her basement walls. They started to fall apart and she was worried that she would need to replace the entire foundation. After a while, her church stepped in and decided they would help her finance getting her walls professionally fixed, so they gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Neil Kwiatkowski to inspect the walls and come up with a solution that would stabilize the homeowner's failing walls. Neil found that the shelf walls that had been holding up the foundation were being supported by 4 sheets of ply wood, and that many of them had already crumbled. Our team knew just what to do and they got to work installing the EverBrace System. This system works to stabilizes a foundation wall.
The homeowner was very thankful for all of the work that was done and she was really impressed with the results. Check out her new EverBrace System!
Berenice S was growing frustrated with the concrete on her back patio. Last year she had hired a concrete contractor and within a year, the entire patio was cracked up. She wanted to protect the space from further damage, so she decided to give up a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Mike Hoffman out to the home. He was able to identify that the soil underneath the concrete was unstable, which was causing the concrete to crack. To lift the concrete, we used PolyLevel to get the concrete back to the originally pour level as well as stabilize all of the concrete to prevent further settling. We then applied NexusPro to seal the joins and repair all of the cracks and to prevent pathways for water getting under the concrete.
Homeowner Joy M. was struggling with the drywall in her bedroom and office. She also noticed the floor was starting to slope. Concerned about further damage happening, she wanted to get a permanent fix. After hearing about Thrasher from family, she decided to give us a call.
System Design Specialist Mike Lutmer went out to her home. He was able to identify that the home was starting to settle and one of the walls in the basement was bowing. We installed push piers to lift and level the area where the settling had occurred. We also used Geo-Lock Anchors to stabilize the lower level and prevent further damage from occurring. Joy was thrilled with the final outcome and the teamwork from the crew.
