Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The customer had water coming into her basement from her window, walls and floor joints. 

We waterproofed in the problem areas by installing CleanSpace, well ducts, and a poly well. These all helped remove water from the basement and keep the area dry for her grandkids.  

The driveway was cracking so bad they thought they surely had to replace it all. Our crew lifted and leveled all broken concrete even an area that a roofing truck damaged with their level truck levers. We also found what was causing the settlement problem and buried the downspouts away from the concrete stopping the soil from being washed out.

Mike and his wife really wanted to remodel their basement. When they started demo, they realized their foundation was settling. They knew that if they continued to invest in their remodel the settlement issue would just end up damaging all of their hard work. They had to fix the settlement issue first. 

When they called us with their problem, we sent out Daniel Hilkermann to inspect. We found that Mike's home was settling on the north side, pretty substantially. He had bad cracks along the exterior that were affecting the drywall inside. To fix the solution, we installed our Model 288 Push Pier System. The Push Pier System utilizes high-strength round steel tube sections and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and lift settling foundations. 

Mike is a shop teacher and actually brought his students out to see the installation of the piers! Everyone was super excited to see our process and gain knowledge of something most people aren't familiar with. Mike got an opportunity to teach his students and fix his settling foundation in one! 

This customer's home had a crumbling foundation. We came in and installed our EverBrace system. This took on the load weight of the home to prevent complete failure of the home's foundation. 

Henry A. knew that his driveway needed some help and general maintenance for a few years now. Since he knows he's going to be living in his home for a long time and tries his best to take care of his belongings, he figured now is as good a time as ever to invest in his concrete. 

What exactly is going on with his driveway? A few things. Henry noticed the center of his driveway sags a little, creating a "gut check" when he's shoveling snow. There are also voids along the sides of the driveway and back patio. And on top of that, he's nervous that someone could trip where the walkway meets the driveway. Henry's biggest fear is that these little problems will get worse over time and end up costing him more down the road.

After looking into different concrete companies, he decided on Thrasher because of our professionalism, our BBB rating, and our experience. When we got Henry's call, we sent out our System Design Specialist, Brandon Powers, to inspect the driveway and come up with a plan of action.

After inspection, we decided to go with our level 3 Concrete Protection System throughout the walkway and driveway. This lifts and levels the concrete fills voids, repairs cracks, fills joints, and seals concrete to protect it from additional wear and tear. 

And now it's good as new! We're happy Henry decided to take good care of his concrete and jump on these issues early to prevent bigger issues down the road.
