Basement Foundation Repair in Holstein, IA

Michael and Amy J. in Holstein, IA have plans on remodeling their downstairs and make the basement more usable. Before starting any projects, Michael and Amy wanted to get their foundation looked yet. The basement was always damp, so they gave Thrasher a call to learn more about solutions for their home.

System Design Specialist Corey Little went out to their home. He was able to see that all of the walls were in stage 2 of wall failure. There was also street creep happening in the driveway and pushing into the home’s foundation. The humidity level was also very high in the basement, which was causing a damp feeling.

The crews started with the driveway by installing CompressionGaurd, a 3-inch wide expansion joint to give them a buffer from the street expanding. For the basement walls, a combination of CarbonArmor and Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to stop the walls from coming in. Also for a safe exit out of the home, we put in an Egress Window*. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to control the humidity levels. Michael and Amy were impressed with the crew’s efficiency.

*As of 2024, egress windows are no longer available through our services.
