Falling Seawall on the Platte River
This customer reached out to us because her seawall next to her yard and home was falling toward the lake. She didn't want to have to deal with the cost and hassle of replacing it if and when it fell all the way in.
When we performed an inspection, we concluded the seawall was falling toward the lake because it had no support on one side and a lot of pressure from the soil on the other.
This isn't a typical job for us, but we are always happy to take on a challenge and solve a unique problem. To fix the wall, we installed GeoLock anchors to secure the wall on the side of the water. This will give that added support on the side that didn't have anything and will prevent the pressure from the soil from caving in.

This homeowner wanted to protect their home to maintain its value. They know this is their retirement home, so they must keep it in good shape for their future. Since they've worked with Thrasher in the past on other homes, they knew they could trust us to get the job done right.
Dillon Gubbels was the one to perform the inspection. He found that the house had wall failure along the back wall's foundation. This was causing separation cracks on their interior drywall. The soil outside their home was driving this problem and the pressure is applied to their foundation.
We fixed this by installing our wall support solution, Geo Anchors. The anchors were the ideal solution to be the least intrusive on their finished interior while stabilizing their foundation.
The customer was happy with the results and even said, "Thrasher is a company that stands behind their work."

This customer owned this rental property that was experiencing bowing walls in the basement. They knew they had to fix this issue for several reasons: to protect their investment, prevent further damage to the home, and avoid having to displace a tenant if the walls were to collapse.
Mike Portal, a System Design Specialist at Thrasher Foundation Repair, went out to the home to conduct an inspection. He found that the walls were bowing in, and each foundation wall was in various stages of wall failure.
To solve this problem, we installed PowerBraces. This system is made from galvanized steel beams that will not rust and will straighten the walls with time. In just two days, the Thrasher Foundation Repair team secured and stabilized all walls in the basement. This was especially crucial for the homeowner to make sure we weren't invading the tenant's space for an extended period of time.
This customer was grateful we were able to save the failing foundation walls and felt the Thrasher Foundation Repair team went above and beyond to exceed expectations.

This homeowner wanted to stabilize a basement wall from further movement inward. When we inspected the foundation, we found the wall was pushing inward about 1/4" since last year. The problem was coming from saturated soil because of moisture which was putting more pressure on the walls.
We fixed the problem by putting up PowerBraces to support the walls. We used PowerBraces to support the whole wall and stop the inward movement.
The customer was happy with the results and happy she no longer has to worry about her foundation walls.

These homeowners lived in their house for many years and recently, decided to have their entire foundation replaced. They had several issues with their old foundation and chose to replace over repairing it. Unfortunately, the foundation was not the issue. It was the soil.
After doing a full replacement, they started to notice cracks forming on their brand new foundation walls. They knew at this point they had to get it fixed before it turned into a bigger issue.
Austin Sharon went out to their home to perform an inspection. He found the foundation walls were tipping in and causing damage to the support beams. The north and south walls were both failing. This was happening because of the soil around the foundation. To fix, we stabilized the walls using a combination of PowerBraces and Anchors, which will straighten the walls over time.
The homeowners are relieved not to have to worry about foundation issues anymore.
