Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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 had recently finished their basement to get it ready to put on the market. During the spring, when the ground melted, they noticed water coming in from behind the stairs, ruining the drywall. So they called Thrasher Foundation Repair to come out and inspect. Mike Portal was the one to perform the inspection. He found that the water was coming in behind the finished walls through the cold and mortar joints on the block wall. This happened due to hydrostatic pressure from water filling up around the foundation.

To fix this issue, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace along the wall where the water was coming in. This will help direct and drain the water away from the home.

The homeowner now feels confident in our solution and is happy they won't have to deal with water ruining any more drywall in their home.

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.

This homeowner was gifted this home from his father. He started to notice settlement on the back wall where the crawlspace was added and his floors were also sagging. He called Thrasher to come out and inspect. We found, upon inspection, that the add-on crawlspace was not supported sufficiently when it was built. The span from wall to wall was too wide and needed supports in the middle to help the slab not settle. 

To fix the issue, we used our I-beams to run the length of the crawlspace in smart jacks to support the beam so that the floor would not settle or sag.

The homeowner was very happy he doesn't have to concerned about that area and happy he can continue to live in the home that his father built.

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.
