Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Seward, NE, a local church had a bowing wall in the basement. They didn't want the issue to get worse as they store items and have meetings in the rooms adjacent to that wall. A few of the members of the church had used Thrasher before, and so they had us out to see how we could help them. System Design Specialist, Joe Dearth, came out, did an inspection, and found there was expansive soil with little access to sunlight that was causing hydrostatic pressure. Eventually, this pressure was strong enough to force the wall inward. 

To solve this issue, Thrasher installed 12 PowerBraces with different brackets to support the floor joists. Once installed, the PowerBraces can be tightened to straighten the wall back out. Check out the before and after of this project! 

These homeowners were experiencing sinking of their concrete in their garage, which was followed by a big crack. They wanted to get their floor fixed so they could use their garage properly and use it to store their cars again. They called Thrasher and one of our System Design Specialists, Bob, talked through how we could help. To life the concrete back into place, we used out Polylevel foam to lift and level. They then used NexusPro as our caulk to seal the joints and cracks. These homeowners loved the finished product and were so excited they could use it as normal soon after install! 

This crawlspace was experiencing an array of issues. It was extremely damp and had high humidity. This weakened the floor system, allowing it to sag and drop under the weight of the home. We encapsulated the entire crawlspace to fix these issues, making it a controlled environment. We then installed a Sedona dehumidifier to dry out the crawlspace and flooring system and prevent any future mold growth. Then we installed 8 galvanized steel beams and 16 smart jacks to to permanently stabilize the floors and lift them back into place, closing the gaps between the walls and ceiling. 

Jill was so excited to move into her new home last year, until winter hit. Her crawlspace felt the temperature when the cold hit, causing her waterlines to freeze and burst. This is her long term home and wants peace of mind this won't happen again this year. She called in Thrasher, and one of our System Design Specialists came out to help. To keep the temperature regulated in her crawl space, we installed our crawlspace encapsulation called Cleanspace. Cleanspace helps keep the outside dirt and cold on the outside, keeping your whole house warmer in the cold months, and cooler in the warmer months. Check out the before and after here!

This was a long-time rental home that was experiencing deflection. Saturated soils around the home foundation were causing wall failure on all three of her exterior basement walls.  Additionally, water was coming in through foundation cracks and through the cold joint, saturating the carpet and damaging the finished walls. To fix this issue permanently, our Denver crew got busy to install our PowerBraces to stabilize the foundation walls and install a full perimeter waterproofing system with WaterGuard and CleanSpace. These systems are the best solutions to prevent further wall and water damage.
