Homeowners Linda and Severin J. noticed that there was cracking on one of their foundation walls and were worried about the impact this would have on their foundation. Linda and Severin were also looking to update their sump pump. They decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call.

Settled Patio in Lincoln, NE Looks New Again
Homeowner Ken H. was struggling with this side patio on his home. There was major settlement occurring in 2 spots and it was affecting the space. He has been redoing his home and was ready to fix the concrete. Looking for a concrete repair solution, he decided to call Thrasher.
We sent System Design Specialist Sam Frei out to Ken’s home. Upon inspection Sam was able to see that the patio was settling in two different ways, away from the home and down the middle, which caused a crack to appear. We were able to repair the concrete by lifting the concrete with PolyLevel. Then we repaired the cracks and sealed the joint with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Ken was happy with the final look of the concrete and excited to be able to use the space again!
Concrete Repair and Leveling in Overland Park, KS
Melodie H. recently purchased this home in Overland Park, KS and wanted to repair the concrete before it was to get any worse with time. With the summer season approaching quickly, she wanted all the concrete surrounding the pool repaired and fully functional. She gave Thrasher a call and we came out to inspect the problematic areas.
System Design Specialist Lukas Popp arrived at the Overland Park home and presented to Melodie our concrete repair solutions. She opted to have us install our 3-part protection system that consists of leveling, sealing, and protection. PolyLevel is injected first beneath the concrete to lift and level it, permanently. NexusPro sealer was then applied to seal all cracks and control joints to prevent any water from seeping through in the future. Lastly, SealantPro was sprayed to cover the surface and protect it from any stains and deterioration.
Melodie was thrilled with the appearance and effectiveness of our 3-part Concrete Protection System. She was happy to have Thrasher be able to provide multiple concrete solutions to take care of all her concerns in one project. We were able to restore her peace of mind give her the confidence she needs to enjoy her new home.
Drafty Crawl Space and Wet Basement Fixed in Nevada, IA
Gary H. was tired of having a musty odor in his basement each time it rained. He spends a lot of time in his basement, and it is very cold and drafty and a lot of excess moisture. Looking for a solution, he decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.
System Design Specialist Frank Lindsey went out to his home. Frank was able to see that the crawl space is attached to the basement and was creating a draft and musty odor. The crew installed drainage matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space, so the walls would remain dry. We also removed existing insulation from the floor joists and ceiling. To keep the rest of the basement dry, WaterGuard was also put in, to direct the water out of the basement into the sump pump.
Back Patio, Foundation Wall and Driveway Repaired in Hastings, NE
New homeowners Alex and Rachel H. were looking to fix their concrete patio and make sure the necessary repairs were done, to prevent any future problems for their home. Ready to start spending time on their back patio, they decided to give Thrasher a call to learn more about our concrete repair solutions.
System Design Specialist Shane McClintic went out to Alex and Rachel’s home. During his inspection, he found the patio was setting toward and against the back foundation wall. This was causing the concrete to be uneven and crack. Water was also draining towards the foundation. The concrete was also putting a lot of added weight against the foundation wall. From the weight of the soil and pressure from the concrete, the foundation wall was starting to bow in. Shane also identified the crack on the front of their driveway was from street creep.
The crew installed channel anchors to stabilize the foundation wall. Then the patio was lifted and sealed with PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant to close up the joints and cracks, also making the whole area level again. To help the front driveway, CompressionGuard was also installed to prevent street creep from expanding their driveway. Alex and Rachel were thrilled with the end result and extremely pleased with the knowledge of the crew.
