Before & After Photos

Years and years of washout and dryout took a toll on this heavy concrete block porch. The house was settling with noticeable cracks on the interior and exterior. The homeowner even recalled hearing a creaking noise at night. We installed helical piers on the porch and house to fix this and permanently stabilize the house. 

This homeowner in Loomis, Nebraska had noticed that one of her basement walls was leaning inward, and so she called Thrasher Foundation Repair to take a look and propose a solution before things got any worse. Using our CarbonArmor wall repair system, we were able to stabilize the failing wall before it required a more expensive solution and also avoid digging up the yard.

Steve is a homeowner in Russell, KS, who needed some basement waterproofing. He was tired of dealing with water coming into his basement and cleaning up after it would rain. System Design Specialist Justin Seiler also found saw some of the foundation walls were bowing recommended a solution for both problems. Crews started with installing WaterGuard and CleanSpace to prevent water from coming into the basement. We also stabilized the foundation walls with PowerBraces and GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize the walls. Steve was happy with how the whole project came together!  

Homeowner Paul was remodeling his home to prepare it. He knew his son was going to move in or he was potentially going to sell. Either way, he wanted to make sure his foundation wall was fixed prior to the remodel. The problem Paul was facing was his wall against his crawlspace was failing. So he called up Thrasher. He knew Thrasher would complete the repair the right way and he would not have to worry about it after. We sent System Design Specialist Clint Gerber out to Paul's home to do an inspection and find the best solution. To resolve Paul's issue, we decided to use Everbrace, Powerbrace, and Geolock Anchors. The space within the basement area was very limited, so each product had to be strategically placed to allow Paul to continue using the basement as a basement. Paul was very happy with the outcome and glad he doesn't have to worry anymore about his foundation walls!

Mike and his wife really wanted to remodel their basement. When they started demo, they realized their foundation was settling. They knew that if they continued to invest in their remodel the settlement issue would just end up damaging all of their hard work. They had to fix the settlement issue first. 

When they called us with their problem, we sent out Daniel Hilkermann to inspect. We found that Mike's home was settling on the north side, pretty substantially. He had bad cracks along the exterior that were affecting the drywall inside. To fix the solution, we installed our Model 288 Push Pier System. The Push Pier System utilizes high-strength round steel tube sections and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and lift settling foundations. 

Mike is a shop teacher and actually brought his students out to see the installation of the piers! Everyone was super excited to see our process and gain knowledge of something most people aren't familiar with. Mike got an opportunity to teach his students and fix his settling foundation in one!
