Concrete Repair in Polk City, IA
The sidewalk to the home of this couple was getting so bad it was becoming an extreme trip hazard for family and friends who wanted to visit. They had been Thrasher customers before, they knew of our reputation and loved the great quality work they received in the past, so they called us back up. Jordan Mullen, one of our System Design Specialists, went out to meet them. Jordan found they had a downspout right on the corner of their home that was dumping water right onto the sidewalk, which caused the soil the wash away from under the sidewalk. This caused the sidewalk to break away from each other and settle. To fix these issues, we buried the downspout out into the yard, so it wouldn't continue to dump water onto the sidewalk. Then we lifted and leveled the sidewalk to the home, using our Polylevel, and sealed all the joints and cracks with nexus pro. These homeowners were very pleased with the work done, and are planning on calling Thrasher again for all of their foundation, waterproofing, and concrete needs.
Sagging Porch Supported in Stilwell, KS
This rental property owner noticed that the front porch of his property was settling away from the house and he was afraid that it would collapse, pulling down the roof with it. After many sleepless nights, he decided to have someone come look at it, so he called us.
We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Powers to inspect the porch and determine what was causing the settling problem as well as determine what products would best fix the problem. Brandon found that there was not enough supports built under the porch to hold the weight of the building materials above it, so the supports were slowly sinking under the weight. He knew just not to solve this problem by adding additional, stronger supports, so he called for an installation team to implement this plan. One of our installation teams came out to this home and installed a new mental supplemental support beam along the full length of the porch structure, then they placed SmartJacks with proper spacing underneath this new support beam.
The property owner was so excited to have the structure of the porch back and stabilized and he is relieved to have little worry about the porch's structure. Check out the new supports of the rental property's porch!
Extended Living Space with Basement Waterproofing in Emporia, KS
This homeowner wanted to ensure that her basement was safe and waterproofed so that she could start using it as extended living space. She had used our services in a prior home, so she knew just who to call when it came to her new waterproofing needs.
We sent Service Technician Andrew Davis to inspect the basement and determine what was preventing her from using this space now as well as install solutions to fix the found problems. Andrew found that one of the walls containing a shelf was deflecting inward, causing an unstable foundation wall and some water to start leaking in through the cracks in the wall. He knew just how to fix this problem, so after discussing his solution with the homeowner, he got right to work on installing PowerBraces to help push back the wall over time, then he installed Waterguard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to effectively waterproof the basement space.
The homeowner was very happy with the outcome of the projects and she couldn't' wait to start using her space more effectively now. Check out the basement waterproofing and structural systems!
Retaining Wall Failure in Council Bluffs, IA
This homeowner didn't want his wall to fall over after he moved, as he was moving next door to where the wall would be his backyard. We had done work for the homeowner in the past, so he decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Matt Jacobson to inspect the wall and determine what was causing it to fall as well as how to fix this problem for the homeowner. Matt found that the old wall anchors on his wall were installed years ago and they were failing to support the wall, allowing it to lean. He knew that these older anchors would not be fixable, so he came up with a plan to use new GeoLock Anchors to stabilize the wall over time. Our installation team came out and installed these new anchors quickly so that the wall could start to push back towards its original position.
The homeowner was so impressed with the communication and the cleanup afterwards as well as with the wall straightening within the first month. Check out the new wall anchors on this retaining wall!
Wet Basement Fixed in Carter Lake, IA
These homeowners had lived in their home for over 60 years and throughout the years, they had dealt with water in their basement constantly. They had seen out trucks around their neighborhood and they thought that we would be able to help them fix this problem, so they gave us a call.
We sent Service Technician Austin Sharon to inspect the homeowners basement and determine where water was getting into their basement and determine what solutions would be best to fix this issue for years to come. Austin found that due to Carter Lake's high water table, every time the river would rise, the homeowners' basement would flood. He knew that a full perimeter solution was needed so that the homeowners could have a dry basement, so he called for an installation team. One of our installation teams came out to the home and installed full perimeter WaterGuard Drainage System along with 2 lateral lines, and 2 Super Sump Pumps.
The homeowners were very relieved that they do not have to deal with the water problem anymore. The can't wait to see what it's like to have the extra basement storage space now that it's usable. Check out the homeowner's new basement waterproofing solutions!
