Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowner Ralph H. in Boone, IA noticed that there were cracks appearing in his foundation. Fearing that there was a lot of pressure on his foundation walls from a previous leak, he wanted to have a peace of mind in knowing his walls were stable. Looking for a company with a good reputation for fixing foundation, he decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call.

Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer went out to Ralph’s home. After inspecting the walls, he was able to identify that the basement wall was in stage one wall failure with deflection and diagonal cracking on the poured foundation. The crew installed PowerBraces around the full perimeter of the basement to support the whole wall. Ralph was very pleased with the outcome of the project and glad to know that is home is properly supported.

Homeowner Connie T. noticed that her front step had dropped and had become a trip hazard. Concerned that this would become a big hazard and impact other areas of the concrete, she wanted to find a long-term solution that would last. After seeing one of our commercial, she decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Todd King went out to Connie’s home. He was able to identify that the front step done dropped a significant level and recommended using PolyLevel to fix the steps. The crew injected the concrete with PolyLevel raising the step back up the original height. Connie was extremely pleased that the step was no longer a trip hazard.

Homeowner Ed S. was growing concerned about his concrete. He has been noticing that the stoop is settling and sinking away from his home. Looking for concrete raising solutions, he gave Thrasher a call.

Service Technician Andrew Davis went out to Ed’s home. He was able to identify that to stop the concrete from settling and moving away from the home, the cracks needed to be closed. We started with lifting the settled concrete with PolyLevel, bringing it back up to the original level. Then to close the joints and cracks, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant. Ed was happy to know the concrete was taken care of and pleased with the quality of work from the crew.

Cindy A. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and has dealt with water issues in the basement for a majority of the 35 years she’s lived there. Lately, she’s been considering selling the home and wants to ensure it would bring maximum value, but with the wet basement she wasn’t sure it would sell. Based on our reputation and recommendations from her loved ones, she chose Thrasher to come waterproof her wet basement.

To begin the basement waterproofing project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to inspect the problems at hand. Robert concluded that the foundation had been allowing water and moisture in due to the lack of an exterior footing drain. The home was built in the 1970s and was originally constructed without one. This caused the walls to crack and begin to bow inward. To guarantee the basement stays dry permanently, Cindy had our teams install a combination of our waterproofing products. We began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier around the full perimeter of the basement. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to drain the water effectively outside. To conclude the project, our team buried the downspouts on the exterior of the home to prevent any water from building up against the foundation walls.

Cindy was not only thrilled with the outcome, but she was relieved to have her basement restored to a dry and safe environment once again. Thrasher was able to help Cindy regain her peace of mind and give her the confidence she needs by increasing her home’s value.

Roger and Lisa F. are proud homeowners in Granville, IA but their basement had become a nonfunctional space due to a surplus of moisture seeping in. The basement had developed into a musty and damp area they felt wasn’t a healthy enough environment to be used. However, they wanted to be able to utilize the space for living, storage, and as a playroom for their grandchildren. Roger and Lisa were familiar with our reputation of wet basement repair, and they were thrilled with the solutions we offered.

To begin the basement project, our System design Specialist Jeff McCormick arrived at the Granville, IA home to perform a thorough inspection. Roger and Lisa opted to have Thrasher install a combination of our basement waterproofing products to guarantee the space stays dry year-round. Our team began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system around the full perimeter of the basement. CleanSpace waterproof barrier was then applied to all the walls to prevent any moisture from seeping through the cracks. To discharge the collected water outside, two TripleSafe sump pump systems were installed. Lastly, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to prevent any mold growth, eliminate odors, and to keep humidity levels under control.

Roger and Lisa were ecstatic with the outcome of the project. They couldn’t believe the effectiveness and efficiency of the waterproofing solutions we offer. Thrasher was able to transform their unusable basement into a highly functional space for them and their family.
