Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hornick wanted to sell her home, but wall failure in her basement was scaring away many buyers and attracting low offers from the rest. Once the homeowner was able to share that the walls were being repaired by Thrasher and that the warranty for the work would transfer with the home, interested increased and the home was sold shortly thereafter for a good price.

After noticing damage to the brick façade of the houses exterior during our inspection, we ruled out settlement as the cause and found that failing walls behind the finished walls in the basement were the root cause of the water problem this homeowner was experiencing. Water had found its way into the basement through gaps created by the shearing walls, allowing mold and rot to flourish in the damp, dark environment.

Using  a combination of PowerBrace beams, a wall anchor and our EverBrace wall support system, we were able to stabilize the basement walls. To resolve the water issue, we installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system along with a sump pump system and vapor barrier to redirected water out of the home. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to resolve the high humidity in the basement.

Thrasher was called in to level the sloping floors of this older home. The home was settling on a limestone foundation, making the project especially challenging. To level the floors, we installed our SmartJack XT support system in the basement to restore support to the failing joists, and to prevent the problem from recurring in the future. The homeowner was very happy with the end result, and felt taken care of throughout the process.

Melissa H. In Emerson, NE needed to do something about the bowing walls in her basement before she could make the space safe and suitable for finishing. To return support to the old, failing brick walls, we installed our Everbrace wall support system along all of the affected walls. We also installed a waterproofing system to resolve a water issue that contributed to the wall failure, making the basement clean, dry and ready to finish.

Thrasher was called out to return stability to a house addition that was settling, working around a existing piering system that had failed, installed by a contractor that would not stand behind their work. Sometimes the lowest price is no bargain.
