This homeowner in Broken Bow, NE had a foundation wall caving in and water getting into the basement of their home. They didn't want the rest of the house to be damaged because of the lack of support on the foundation.
Our crew came into the house and noticed sagging floors, causing the wall to fail and allowing water to leak in through the wall and floor. Since the wall was a total failure we used our Everbrace system to support the wall, this system transfers the load from the failing structure to the new support panels. We then added a TripleSafe Sump Pump, to be able to flow and drain the water leaking into the basement out away from the foundation of the home.
This customer and his wife have lived in their home for 30 years now. At some point, they hope to sell their home and move out of the state. They want to ensure that their basement wall does not cave in to ensure their property value. This clay brick home is over 100 years old and hydrostatic pressure over all of those years caused the wall to bow. We installed our EverBrace system to stabilize the wall and ensure that it won't cave in.
Charlie and Sarah were getting ready to do some projects on their home in Bushton, KS. Before starting any projects, they wanted to have their foundation walls inspected. After doing some research on foundation repair contractors, they gave Thrasher a call.
System Design Specialist Rob Griffin went out to Charlie and Sarah’s home. Rob recommended installing PowerBraces because one of the walls had started to bow out due to pressure from the outside. The crews installed the PowerBrace giving Charlie and Sarah peace of mind.
These homeowners inherited a 100 year old home from their neighbors. They now rent this home to their youngest boy, and started to see some bowing. They heard of Thrasher reputation and quality of work we have done with several other properties throughout the area, so they gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Joe Dearth, came out to meet with them. Joe did an inspection and noticed that washout from several years of rain, then the drought caused the soil to shrink. During the winter months the frost line would freeze and expand the soil into the home, adding a contributing factor to the bowing wall. There were too many utilities in the way to do PowerBraces, so Joe determined we use Wall Anchors. These are metal plates installed to the wall with a rod anchoring them 12 feet out into the existing yard. There is no doubt these homeowners are now feeling safe as ever in their home! Check out these before and after photos!
This customer has already had one side of their foundation repaired and wanted to fix two more to keep their forever home in great shape. The problem was that both the west and south walls were deflecting. We stabilized these walls by installing PowerBraces to them.
