This homeowner's front steps were sinking and settling into the soil beneath them. Specifically, the spot where the porch meets the steps had a really low dip due to washout and soil erosion. To fix, we drilled pea-size holes and injected PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam, that lifts and levels sunken concrete. We then caulked and sealed the steps to prevent any future water intrusion.

Longtime homeowner Cindy B. has been noticing her concrete is settling. The worse area was her front steps which has settled so much there had become a major trip hazard. Concerned about the rest of the concrete not being safe, she decided to call Thrasher for concrete repair services.
System Design Specialist Britton Wood went out to Cindy’s home. He was able to recognize that 4 slabs in the driveway had settled. Also, the stair were below code raising concern for safety and caulking in the driveway was coming up and flaking. We used PolyLevel for the concrete slabs and stairs, this raised and leveled the area back up to a safe height. We sealed all the cracks and caulking with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Cindy was pleased to have all of the concrete back up to code!
Larry and Deborah R. are proud homeowners in Papillion, NE and want their house to stand the test of time so they can continue live there long into the future. Their garage was experiencing differential settlement, which means the garage was settling and leaning away from the home. With time it will continue to get worse, so they decided it was time to have it repaired. They chose Thrasher because they were familiar with our reputation of providing permanent quality solutions.
To begin the project, System Design Specialist Wyatt Simon arrived at the home in Papillion to perform a thorough inspection and determine possible solutions. Larry and Deborah opted to have our team install push piers to lift and stabilize the sinking garage. Our push pier installation involves the excavation of soil on the exterior of the house to place the piers onto solid bedrock to support the structure. After the installation was complete, our team cleaned up the entire site and returned the landscaping to its original state. All bushes were replanted, and grass seed was planted to help revive the lawn in places it needed to be removed.
Larry and Deborah couldn’t have been more thrilled with the outcome of the project. They were impressed with Thrasher’s efficiency and dedication to providing a quality solution. We were able to restore their peace of mind and help protect their greatest investment.
Diane K. buried a downspout over a year ago and noticed a large crack in her driveway and right next to the driveway a sunken spot appeared in her yard where the soil had washed away. Worried that the crack would cause future problems, she wanted an immediate solution that would take away the worry. She had previous work done with us and felt comfortable in our work.
System Design Specialist Corey Nelson went out to her home. He was able to identify that the large crack on the left side of the driveway would continue to wash the soil out and also cause the middle part of the driveway to settle as well. We used PolyLevel to fill and level the void. Then applied caulking to the joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Diane was relieved that this work would prevent the concrete from settling and was happy with the project.
