Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

Homeowner Tonya H. had plans to replace her concrete after major settlement and cracking had happened. She was concerned about water getting through the concrete and entering her basement. After hearing that there were other solutions to saving her concrete, she decided to call Thrasher.

System Design Specialist Jon Young went out to Tonya’s home. He was able to identify that a 2-part concrete protection system would fix the concrete and she didn’t need to go through the hassle of replacing concrete. The crew started with PolyLevel, which was able to lift and level the concrete back up to the original height. Then the crew used NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal and prevent water from entering the joints.  Tonya was thrilled with how her concrete looked and how easy this solution was instead of replacing the concrete.

Bill and Miriam B. have lived in their Omaha home for over 22 years and want to continue to live there for years to come. Unfortunately, over time their driveway and sidewalks have settled and spalled in areas exposed to high usage. At an older age, Bill and Miriam had no desire to tackle the project on their own. While one of our teams was at Bill and Miriam’s home for an annual inspection on their waterproofing system, Bill brought the concrete to our attention.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Jeremy Haynes visited the Omaha property and inspected what the concrete needed. Bill and Miriam opted to have our team install our 3-part concrete protection system (CPS) which includes PolyLevel, SealantPro, and NexusPro. The PolyLevel is applied first in order to lift and level the settled areas. SealantPro is then used to protect the concrete against any future deterioration and stains. Lastly, the team finished with the NexusPro to seal all expansions, control joints, and seal any cracks that have already been formed.

 Bill and Miriam were excited to have this project complete, and the longevity of their home increased for their benefit. Bill has always taken it upon himself to tackle this project, but he now relies on Thrasher to make sure his home is in good hands.

Homeowner Star S. noticed that her sump pump was running a lot and there was a lot of water. She was worried that the existing dehumidifier was no longer working and causing problems in the basement. Concerned about the upkeep of her home, she discussed this during her annual service appointment.

Service Technician Chuck Kain was able to look at her existing dehumidifier and see that it was no longer working. He recommended that Star replace the dehumidifier with an up-to-date SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. After installing the new dehumidifier, the relative humidity went down and is now able to be controlled. Star appreciates Thrasher’s annual maintenance program for helping her with the upkeep of issues like this.
