Floor and Wall Cracks Repaired in Lansing, KS
These homeowners flipped their older home and they were excited to start their future in this home. Shortly after they moved in, they began to notice that the garage floor was cracking and that their bathroom and bedroom had started to show wall cracks. They were very concerned about this problem, so they decided to give us a call to see what was happening in their forever home.
System Design Specialist Tom Studer drove out to this home to see what was causing the garage floor and the walls to crack. Tom found that the garage was falling down because there were large voids underneath the footing. He also found differential settlement happening along the garage wall that was affecting the other rooms with wall cracks as well. He discussed these problems with the homeowners, and how we could fix them, and the homeowners couldn't have been more eager to have these problems fixed. On of our installation crews went to the home and used a Push Pier System to lift and stabilize the garage from any further damage.
The homeowners were so excited to have their problem fixed, and they are relieved that their forever home is stable. Check out the push pier system in action, lifting and stabilizing the home and the garage!
Home Odor Fixed in Wichita, KS
This homeowner noticed a bad odor coming into her home, and she wanted this to go away. After searching for the source of the smell, she found that it was coming from her crawlspace. Unsure of how to fix this problem, she gave us a call to see how we could help.
We sent System Design Specialist Kerry Lehman to inspect the homeowner's crawlspace and determine what was causing the smell as well as how to fix this problem. Kerry found that the crawlspace was no encapsulated, meaning that it was simply a dirt floor which had mold and high humidity without any controls. He pointed this problem out to the homeowner, and she was eager to have this problem solved, so she called for one of our installation teams. The installation team utilized CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help the homeowner solve the odor problem as well as prevent future problems from happening.
The homeowner was happy that the crawlspace odor was gone and that here home was back to normal. Check out the newly encapsulated crawlspace!
Front Stoop Sinking Solved in Loveland, CO
These homeowners were concerned about their front stoop as well as their foundation. The knew this problem had gone on for years, however it seemed to be presenting more problem with their flowerbed now, so they wanted to get it fixed. They wanted an honest assessment and solution, so they gave us a call to check out their front stoop.
We sent System Design Specialist Rob Griffin to inspect the front stoop and determine what was causing the problems as well as suggest a custom solution for these homeowners. Rob found that the front stoop was sinking for years, and the problem was worsened because of watering the flowers. He determined that when the homeowners watered their flowers, the soil underneath the flower bed would shrink, allowing for the front stoop to sink. After showing these findings to the homeowner, Rob scheduled an installation appointment with them for custom solutions to fix their settling front stoop.
One of our installation teams came to this home and utilized 2 Helical Piers to lift and stabilize the front stoop. When they finished lifting the front stoop, they used NexusPro sealant to prevent water from getting through the concrete cracks and causing settlement again. The homeowners were so happy with their newly restored front stoop. Check out the lifted and front stoop!
Sinking Patio Lifted in Whiting, KS
This homeowner noticed that her patio was no sitting quite right because her supports were just dangling from the roof. She has used our services previously for a driveway concrete repair, so she decided to give us a call and see what we could do for her patio.
We sent System Design Specialist Mike Schmidt to inspect the concrete patio and determine what was causing the supports to no longer attach to the patio, as well as how to fix this problem for the homeowner. Mike found that the supports were detached because the concrete had settled quite a bit. After discussing the problem with the homeowner, Mike came up with a plan to lift and stabilize the concrete patio for the homeowner, so they scheduled an installation appointment. Our installation team used PolyLevel foam to lift, level, and stabilize the patio so that the posts would be secured in their place.
The homeowner was very happy with the results and she is glad that her patio is fixed now. Check out the homeowner's newly restored patio!
Wet Basement Solutions - Wichita, KS
Danny wanted to make renovations to his permanent home, but he knew he needed to address his wet basement before starting any of that. He knew of Thrasher and had heard about their products, trainings, and professionalism. He decided to call Thrasher and shortly after one of our System Design Specialists, Nate Franson, went out to meet with him. After the inspection, Nate explained to Danny how one of his walls had started to lean in a little, this was causing water to find its way into the basement from the cracks and joints. Nate proposed that Thrasher install wall anchors to stabilize his wall and help straighten it over time, as well as our CleanSpace and WaterGuard system. CleanSpace is what looks like a plastic sheet on the wall. It is a barrier between the wet wall and the basement, keeping the basement dry. The water will trickle down the inside of the CleanSpace and into the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is our drainage channel that will direct the water into a sump pump and out of the home. Danny loved this idea, and we got started! Immediately after our installation, there was a heavy rainfall. Danny and his wife woke up in the middle of the night and ran to the basement. With a sigh of relief, they heard our systems working! They heard the water running through the systems, keeping the basement completely dry. There is no doubt that Danny's big renovation plans will go off without a hitch thanks to his dry basement!
