Large Crawl Space in Belle Plaine, KS is Revived with SmartJacks
LeAnna and Rodney R. wanted to preserve the home that her dad built. There were humps and valleys in the floor. They were worried the floor wouldn't support the weight of everything. They had already done work to try and fix this, but nothing seemed to work.
LeAnna and Rodeney called Thrasher and our System Design Special, Sean Robinson, evaluated the problem. We installed 18 SmartJacks along the full spans of both main beams (9 on each beam). We also installed a 20' supplemental beam and 4 SmartJacks under the bathroom and LeAnna's scrapbooking room, where she has a lot of heavy furniture and full bookcases. All this allowed us to even out and level the floor through the full span of the house. We also encapsulated the crawl space and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to get moisture and humidity under control, in order to preserve the flooring system and floor support.
Preventing Driveway Cracks in Des Moines, IA
It's important to have a good sealant to prevent cracks in concrete. For this customer, we applied NexusPro silicone-based sealant to fill and seal cracks and control joints. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro is specially designed to resist UV rays, ensuring that it remains durable and doesn't crack, bubble, or dry over time. Additionally, NexusPro has a significantly shorter drying time compared to other urethane-based caulking products. Its long-lasting properties have been proven to outperform other sealants, providing reliable protection for your driveway.
Concrete Steps Leveled in Clive, IA
This customer hated the sunken concrete steps at their home. At Thrasher Foundation Repair, we can fix common problems that happen to driveways, walkways, and sidewalks over time. When the soil beneath these concrete slabs weakens or develops voids, cracks, and sinking can occur. Different things like erosion from rainwater or gutter runoff, rotting tree roots, clogged gutters, improper downspout installation, poor yard drainage, and poorly compacted dirt fill, can cause voids. Thankfully, we provided a reliable solution using PolyLevel, a foam that lifts the concrete back to its original position while filling the voids.
Driveway Fixed in Ankeny, IA
This homeowner recently decided to do something about the sunken concrete driveway at their home. To address this issue, we used PolyLevel polyurethane foam which is injected beneath the concrete slabs through small ports, filling cracks and crevices in the soil. As it expands and hardens, it lifts the concrete slabs, restoring them to their proper position while simultaneously compressing the surrounding soil. One advantage of PolyLevel is how fast it works, you can resume normal use of your concrete just 15 minutes after the process is completed.
Concrete Leveling and Crack Prevention in Altoona, IA
This customer recently encountered an issue with their home—an unlevel patio. Sidewalks go through constant use and can form cracks and sink when the soil beneath the cement slabs erodes. It's important to address these problems quickly because uneven sidewalk slabs are a safety risk to your family, guests, and neighbors. Thrasher Foundation Repair has the expertise to resolve these issues effectively. We used PolyLevel technology to lift, level, and stabilize their patio. To address smaller cracks, we used NexusPro solution to fill and seal cracks and control joints. This gave the patio a long-lasting and seamless finish.
