Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Kathy S. is a homeowner in Guide Rock, NE with a future of staying in this estate. However, the brick foundation of her home was deteriorating and beginning to fail. In order to protect her investment, she decided it was time to have it taken care of. Familiar with our reputation at Thrasher, she gave us a call to get the job done right.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick arrived at the scene to inspect the failing foundation walls. After presenting a variety of solutions, the customer opted to have our ShotLock Restoration System installed to permanently fix the walls. This product utilizes our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize both the external, and internal surfaces of the foundation.

 Kathy was more than pleased with the appearance of the restored foundation, and the display of professionalism from our teams throughout the duration of the project.

Patricia N. is a proud homeowner in Lincoln, NE and has plans in place of this being here forever home. Thrasher has helped in the past with making this home the one that can stand the test of time by waterproofing the basement. During the annual maintenance, our team always performs a thorough inspection to make sure small problems aren’t going unnoticed, and therefore turning into bigger problems. Upon the inspection, System Design Specialist Wes Marshall noticed two basement walls showing signs of stage-two failure, caused by the soil surrounding the foundation. Fortunately, the problem was spotted in its early stage and Thrasher could provide a solution before it were to get much worse. Without hesitation, Patricia put her trust in Thrasher to give herself a peace of mind, and confidence that it was going to be done right.

 Wes Marshall and his team arrived in Lincoln, NE to begin the project. Patricia opted to have them install our PowerBrace Support System to permanently stop any movement inward from the walls and reverse the damage over time. PowerBrace is a galvanized steel beam that runs the full height of the foundation and then is fastened to the concrete basement floor. It’s then attached to the floor joist using one of our brackets to give it the permanent security it needs. All installation is done internally and saves Patricia the stress of any external excavation.

 Patricia N. was grateful that we were able to spot the failing walls early and provide a variety of solutions for her benefit. She was impressed with the crew’s wealth of knowledge and presentation to help her understand the process. Patricia is now stress-free and happy with her forever home.

Chris and Meghan S. were getting ready to put their home on the market. They were concerned that buyers would be concerned with the concrete on their driveway. Looking for a long-term solution that would get rid of any hesitation, they decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.

System Design Specialist Dan King went out to their home and was able to identify that the walkway was settling unevenly all the way up to the front door. There was also a broken area in the bottom of the driveway that needed to be lifted and leveled. The side slabs also had large voids underneath that needed to be closed. The crew applied PolyLevel to lift and level the settled concrete and fill the voids. Then we used NexusPro Joint Sealant to make sure all of the joints were sealed. Chris and Meghan were thrilled with the final look of the concrete!

Darrell and Dixie N. have been doing work on their home and wanted to make sure that the foundation was stable. Darrell and Dixie noticed that the drywall was cracking and the floors were buckling. Concerned that they work they have done on their home would be worth nothing, they decided to call Thrasher for a permanent solution that wouldn’t cause any more problems.

The crew went out to their home and saw that the crawl space had water, the floor was buckling, and drywall cracks were throughout the home. We installed 22 SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floor. We also put in a sump pump and fully encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace so the space would stay dry. Darrell and Dixie were very excited to no longer have to worry about the floors or crawl space.

Elaine K. noticed for a while that one of the walls in her garage had a crack but was never sure what caused it. Looking to keep up on her home and not wanting the crack to get worse, she knew she needed to have a contractor come out to her home. Elaine previously worked with Thrasher and knew we could help her.

Service Technician Daniel Hilkemann went out to Elaine’s home. He was able to see that street creep was causing the walls in the garage to crack. The crew installed CompressionGaurd in the driveway, which helped alleviate the pressure being applied to the garage and foundation walls. Elaine had a great experience with Thrasher’s crew and was happy that her garage walls would no longer have any problems!
