Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Marcy A. is looking to remodel the basement but has been dealing with water coming in throughout the last couple of years. She removed some paneling and noticed that water as also coming in from the concrete walls.  Before starting the remodeling, she wanted to get the water to stop coming in. After getting recommendations from family about Thrasher, they decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Jordan Comstock went out to Marcy’s home. He was able to find that the water was coming in through the cold joints and form ties. The water was also building up along the foundation walls.  We waterproofed the area with WaterGuard and installed full height CleanSpace. Marcy was happy to be able to continue with the remodeling and to never have to worry about water coming in again!

Homeowner Ken P. in Andover, KS noticed the concrete leading to his front entryway and back patio had settled over time. The concrete had sunk and began to crack in the deepest areas. Frustrated with the appearance and worried about it becoming a tripping hazard, Ken decided it was time to get it fixed. After receiving bids from other companies, he quickly realized none of them had a reputation quite like Thrasher.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Brent Randolph arrived in Andover, KS to fully inspect the concrete areas that were problematic. The customer opted to have the team install our PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions. PolyLevel is a lightweight and strong high-density foam that lifts and levels the concrete permanently. It’s an effective solution because it not only lifts the concrete, but also compacts the soil underneath to ensure the concrete remains stable. Then, the NexusPro is applied to seal all the cracks and joints. It’s a durable solution that prevents moisture from entering long into the future.

Ken was grateful for our quality of work, display of professionalism, and dedication to doing the job right the first time. Ken loves the way his concrete looks and now has confidence in its functionality.

Darrell and Dixie N. have been doing work on their home and wanted to make sure that the foundation was stable. Darrell and Dixie noticed that the drywall was cracking and the floors were buckling. Concerned that they work they have done on their home would be worth nothing, they decided to call Thrasher for a permanent solution that wouldn’t cause any more problems.

The crew went out to their home and saw that the crawl space had water, the floor was buckling, and drywall cracks were throughout the home. We installed 22 SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floor. We also put in a sump pump and fully encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace so the space would stay dry. Darrell and Dixie were very excited to no longer have to worry about the floors or crawl space.

Elaine K. noticed for a while that one of the walls in her garage had a crack but was never sure what caused it. Looking to keep up on her home and not wanting the crack to get worse, she knew she needed to have a contractor come out to her home. Elaine previously worked with Thrasher and knew we could help her.

Service Technician Daniel Hilkemann went out to Elaine’s home. He was able to see that street creep was causing the walls in the garage to crack. The crew installed CompressionGaurd in the driveway, which helped alleviate the pressure being applied to the garage and foundation walls. Elaine had a great experience with Thrasher’s crew and was happy that her garage walls would no longer have any problems!

This large hall called Eagles Lodge in Ozark, MO has been a staple in the community for the past 30 years, and the organization wants it to last another 30. However, it’s in desperate need of a flooring job due to its size and length. The structure originally had three wood beams beginning to rot resting on failing concrete blocks. After comparing our solution to competing companies, they knew ours was the permanent solution they needed to make it last another 30 years.

 From there, System Design Specialist Max Huggins began the project. In order to give the flooring the support it needed, the team installed four 70 foot long steel beams to replace the rotting wood ones. For increased support and structure, the steel beams were paired with our SmartJack crawl space support system that’s galvanized for corrosion resistance. Although this is a permanent fix, Max explained the importance of the warranty in place to guarantee this structure is built to last.

 The community was impressed throughout the duration of the project, and they’re thrilled Eagle Lodge will be around for the distant future. In addition to the tangible results, they were pleased with our team’s ability to deliver an incredible experience.
