David M. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and was concerned with a small section of his driveway concrete that borders the garage. The section had settled over time and cracked in places that allowed water to seep underneath towards his foundation. David was familiar with Thrasher’s extensive reputation, and in order to find a permanent solution he gave us a call.
To begin the project, System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to perform a full inspection on the problematic section of concrete. AJ determined that the downspout right next to the driveway was dumping water towards the foundation and washing out the soil underneath. This created large voids and allowed for the concrete to settle and crack. David opted to have Thrasher install our 2-Part Concrete Protection System that consists of PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealer. PolyLevel is installed first by injecting it underneath to the fill the voids in order to lift and level the concrete permanently. NexusPro is then applied to all cracks and control joints to prevent water from entering through the surface. To finish the project, our team buried the downspout that was the root cause of the sunken concrete to guarantee David doesn’t have to detail with concrete problems in the future.
David couldn’t have been more impressed with the project. We were able to restore his peace of mind and provide him with the permanent solution his concrete needed. He was impressed with our crews display of professionalism and efficiency throughout the project.
Cindy A. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and has dealt with water issues in the basement for a majority of the 35 years she’s lived there. Lately, she’s been considering selling the home and wants to ensure it would bring maximum value, but with the wet basement she wasn’t sure it would sell. Based on our reputation and recommendations from her loved ones, she chose Thrasher to come waterproof her wet basement.
To begin the basement waterproofing project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to inspect the problems at hand. Robert concluded that the foundation had been allowing water and moisture in due to the lack of an exterior footing drain. The home was built in the 1970s and was originally constructed without one. This caused the walls to crack and begin to bow inward. To guarantee the basement stays dry permanently, Cindy had our teams install a combination of our waterproofing products. We began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier around the full perimeter of the basement. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to drain the water effectively outside. To conclude the project, our team buried the downspouts on the exterior of the home to prevent any water from building up against the foundation walls.
Cindy was not only thrilled with the outcome, but she was relieved to have her basement restored to a dry and safe environment once again. Thrasher was able to help Cindy regain her peace of mind and give her the confidence she needs by increasing her home’s value.
Homeowner Diane K. was noticing concrete sinking at her Wichita, KS home. The concrete had sunk so much that water was starting to pool up next to the entrance of her home. She decided to call Thrasher because of our strong reputation for concrete repairs.
System Design Specialist Brent Randolph went out to her home. During the inspection, Brent was able to identify that the slab in front of the entrance and sunk and then two additional spots in the driveway had also sunk and cracked. The crew used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete. Then applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to close the cracks and joints. Diane was happy with how the concrete looked and thrilled not to have to worry about tripping again
This homeowner's parents live with him and his concrete was cracking and settling in several places, creating tripping hazards. He felt it was necessary to fix this before had an accident as they don't get around too well. This settling was caused by water eroding the soil underneath the concrete over time. We fixed the problem by first expanding the gutter downspouts away from the concrete to divert water and help reduce the soil washout that was occurring. Next, we lifted and stabilized the concrete with PolyLevel foam and sealed all the joints with NexusPro to keep water from getting under the concrete through the joints.
Joyce K., a homeowner in Bel Aire, KS, has watched the concrete on her driveway and around her home continue to settle over the years. Water from downspouts has washed away the soil underneath the slabs causing it to sink and even crack in certain areas. Upset with its appearance and potential for a tripping hazard, she decided to do something about it. As a repeat customer, she has trust in Thrasher and is always impressed with our integrity, and reputation.
System Design Specialist, Jon Graves, arrived at the Bel Aire home to inspect the surrounding concrete. Joyce loved how we addressed all the concrete on the property and immediately felt the price was fair. From there, our team went to work in applying our full concrete protection service. In areas where the concrete had sunk, they installed our PolyLevel foam solution to permanently level the surface. In order to seal the cracks in the concrete, the team utilized our NexusPro silicone-based joint sealer to prevent moisture from seeping beneath in the future. Lastly, SealantPro concrete sealant was applied to protect the surface and extend its life for years to come.
Joyce couldn’t have been happier with the appearance of her newly leveled and sealed concrete. Aside from the physical appearance, she was pleased with our team’s politeness and efficiency throughout the project. She makes the right choice and continues to put her trust in our brand.
