Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner's parents live with him and his concrete was cracking and settling in several places, creating tripping hazards. He felt it was necessary to fix this before had an accident as they don't get around too well. This settling was caused by water eroding the soil underneath the concrete over time. We fixed the problem by first expanding the gutter downspouts away from the concrete to divert water and help reduce the soil washout that was occurring. Next, we lifted and stabilized the concrete with PolyLevel foam and sealed all the joints with NexusPro to keep water from getting under the concrete through the joints. 

This homeowner wanted to make his front step safe for kids because his family is planning on fostering more kids. The previous homeowner had patched up the step, but it didn't repair the drop the steps have experienced due to soil washout underneath. This acted as a bandage to improve the appearance, but not a real solution. We used PolyLevel foam to lift and level the step, filling the voids and compressing the loose soil that remained after the other soil was washed out. Now this step is safe and secure for the homeowner and his family. 

This customer has already had one side of their foundation repaired and wanted to fix two more to keep their forever home in great shape. The problem was that both the west and south walls were deflecting. We stabilized these walls by installing PowerBraces to them. 

This customer has noticed moisture in the crawlspace and was concerned about the structural support post. They knew they wanted to sell the house within the next 7-8 years, so they wanted to get a start on fixing some issues now. After inspecting the house, we discovered the customer's foundation was built on caissons, or a watertight retaining structure. When it would rain, moisture would come in but would never pool, just making the soil damp. The dirt crawlspace was also a contributor to the poor indoor air quality. 

We were able to help this homeowner with a crawlspace encapsulation, one SmartJack on one side of the beam on the shallow dirt shelf walls, and one SmartJack XT on the seven-foot drop in the soil/elevation changed in the crawlspace.

This customer moved into his home 20 years ago and plans on passing it down to his son eventually. His garage and driveaway concrete is unlevel and just wants his peace of mind restored. This sunken slab was created from soil washout. To lift and level the driveway to be even with the garage, we used out PolyLevel expanding foam!
