Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Larry and Deborah R. are proud homeowners in Papillion, NE and want their house to stand the test of time so they can continue live there long into the future. Their garage was experiencing differential settlement, which means the garage was settling and leaning away from the home. With time it will continue to get worse, so they decided it was time to have it repaired. They chose Thrasher because they were familiar with our reputation of providing permanent quality solutions.

To begin the project, System Design Specialist Wyatt Simon arrived at the home in Papillion to perform a thorough inspection and determine possible solutions. Larry and Deborah opted to have our team install push piers to lift and stabilize the sinking garage. Our push pier installation involves the excavation of soil on the exterior of the house to place the piers onto solid bedrock to support the structure. After the installation was complete, our team cleaned up the entire site and returned the landscaping to its original state. All bushes were replanted, and grass seed was planted to help revive the lawn in places it needed to be removed.

Larry and Deborah couldn’t have been more thrilled with the outcome of the project. They were impressed with Thrasher’s efficiency and dedication to providing a quality solution. We were able to restore their peace of mind and help protect their greatest investment.

John E. was looking to finish his basement and create more living space, but he was having trouble with water coming into his basement. Water would be coming in and the temperature in the basement would never get above the 50s. The pervious homeowner had work done by Thrasher, so John decided to give us a call and learn more about solutions for foundation repair.

Service Technician Kerry Lehman went out to John’s home to see what we could do. Upon inspection Kerry found the foundation wall had deflected so far that the exterior wall was no longer on the sill plate. There was a gap letting outside air pour into the basement. The wall cracks were also allowing water to come in and keep the basement wet.

The crew started with excavating the outside and straightening the wall with the GeoLock anchors. Three of the walls were also waterproofed with WaterGaurd and full-height CleanSpace was also put on the walls to keep the water out.

Homeowners Rich and Greta C. were having problems with their driveway. Concrete slabs were sinking, and cracks were forming and over time it kept on getting worse. Worried about the appearance and the effect this would have on their home, they decided it was time to see what concrete repair solutions were available. Familiar with Thrasher and recommendations from others, they gave us a call.

System Design Specialist Michael Romanek went out to their home in Papillion, NE to start with an inspection. He was able to see that there was settlement and cracking due to a drain spout that was dumping water onto driveway, causing the soil to wash away. We were able to fix this by leveling the driveway with PolyLevel, bringing the settled areas back up to the original level. Then we closed and sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. To protect the driveway, we also applied SealantPro to the whole driveway. All of the downspouts were buried, so they would drain away from the driveway.

 Rich and Greta were extremely pleased with the outcome and glad they didn’t have to replace any of the concrete!

Homeowners Linda and Severin J. noticed that there was cracking on one of their foundation walls and were worried about the impact this would have on their foundation. Linda and Severin were also looking to update their sump pump. They decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call.

System Design Specialist Nicholas Hruska went out to their home. Upon inspection Nicholas was able to identify three walls had structural defects. Their sump pump was also having mechanical failure and the basement had high humidity levels.  The crew installed three PowerBraces so the walls would be supported and stabilized. Then a new sump pump and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was also installed to control humidity. Linda and Severin were extremely pleased with everything and how the crew kept the area clean.

Homeowner Ken H. was struggling with this side patio on his home. There was major settlement occurring in 2 spots and it was affecting the space. He has been redoing his home and was ready to fix the concrete. Looking for a concrete repair solution, he decided to call Thrasher.

We sent System Design Specialist Sam Frei out to Ken’s home. Upon inspection Sam was able to see that the patio was settling in two different ways, away from the home and down the middle, which caused a crack to appear. We were able to repair the concrete by lifting the concrete with PolyLevel. Then we repaired the cracks and sealed the joint with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Ken was happy with the final look of the concrete and excited to be able to use the space again!
