Before & After Photos

Nick noticed a large crack above the door of his mother's house. He called Thrasher to maintain value and make sure his mom was safe in her home. Jon Graves went out to the home to find out what was happening. He found the garage had settled to the outside corner, causing a large crack above the door to open up. To fix this, we installed push piers. But then things got interesting.

When we did the lift, the result was excellent. The crack closed up, and everything looked good. However, the crew left, and when they came back the following day to finish up, they noticed a new crack behind the old crack had opened in a straight line down the mortar joint. This is something that can happen when lifting a home, especially brick. It doesn't happen often, but we always mention to the customer the possibility. Once we noticed the new crack, we instantly checked to ensure there was no settlement, and luckily, we found none. We then sealed the crack and blended the mortar to be less visible. Everything was good as new again!

Nick and his mom were excited that the crack had closed up. They were, at first, concerned about the new crack, but they felt more at ease that we immediately addressed it and fixed the issue. Their garage is stabilized and will not be moving anymore.

This porch on a home in Wichita was sinking and leaning in the middle severely. We were able to fix it by installing a few piers. You can see the visible difference in the photos!

Jill is a homeowner in Lindsborg, KS, and needed some foundation repair. Her foundation was cracking and splitting in multiple locations, so she decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair. System Design Specialist Austin Ure went out to Jill’s home. 

During the inspection, Austin was able to see that the cracking and splitting that Jill saw had also caused large cracks to form upstairs as well. The crew installed Push Piers to stabilize the foundation. Once the Push Piers were installed Jill was glad to have gained peace of mind knowing her foundation was supported and stabilized. 

Your home's foundation is the rock. And when signs of trouble start to show, it's time to take action, Maybe your stone, clay block, or brick foundation walls have begun to show unsettling signs of failure - bulging, bowing, cracking or even crumbling. Or perhaps your poured concrete or block walls are barely hanging on and about to cave in. That's where the EverBrace Wall Restoration System steps in.

The EverBrace system is an innovative approach that targets these issues head-on, providing a much-needed solution to foundation damage. Steel corrugated panels, and steel I-beams come together to reinforce your existing foundation structure. On top of that, a specialized rigid foam is injected behind the panels, filling every void between the existing wall and the panels. 

This system serves a huge purpose - transferring the load of the failing wall to the new support system. It's like a breath of fresh air for your foundation. One of the most remarkable aspects of the EverBrace System is its a great alternative to total foundation replacement. Yep, that's right. Instead of ripping out your entire foundation and dealing with the expenses and disruption that comes with that, the EverBrace System stabilizes your walls like new. With EverBrace, you're not just saving your foundation. You're preserving your peace of mind. Your home is safe, and therefore so is your family. 

Dennis & Almetta I. have owned their home in Wellington, KS for a long time. Years back, they added an addition to the home and were now facing settlement issues. They decided to call Thrasher to learn about foundation repair options.

System Design Specialist Josh Brown went out to their home for an inspection. He was able to identify that soil was being washed away due to poor drainage. Also, the footings for the addition were very shallow and that was causing stabilization issues. The crew installed PushPiers to stabilize the wall and lift the settled areas, fixing any future problems. We also lifted the interior concrete of their master bedroom with PolyLevel, getting rid of the trip hazard. The downspouts were also buried to prevent water from collecting around the foundation.
