Charity H. is a homeowner in Andover, KS and was fed up with water seeping into her basement every time it rained. She became concerned with the damage water could cause on the foundation of her home. Needing a permanent and quality solution, she gave Thrasher a call.
System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the scene to perform and inspection on the home. After investigating the exterior of the house, it was obvious the size and quality of the gutters were the issue. They weren’t large enough to handle the capacity of water needed to prevent them from overflowing and washing out the soil against the foundation. In addition, the downspouts hadn’t been maintained and were also contributing to the erosion of soil every time it rained. To combat this issue, Robert designed a gutter shutter system specifically for this home and buried the downspouts to drain the water effectively. In addition, our team added wide mouth outlets to the downspout for increased flow and prevention of any bottlenecks in the system.
Charity was thrilled with her new gutter system’s appearance and functionality. She was impressed with our variety of solutions and dedication to her well-being. She now has confidence that her basement will stay dry every time rain is on the forecast.
Ron has been experiencing foundation settlement throughout his home. The biggest culprit? His house has no gutters. Even though his home is over 40 years old, it has never had gutters installed. This is shocking because a gutter's sole purpose is to keep water away from your home to prevent the water from entering the soil and disrupting your foundation.
Ron knew it was time to do something about it. He called Thrasher, and we sent System Design Specialist, Jason White, to take a look and come up with a solution.
Upon inspection, it was clear that roof water was falling directly next to the foundation due to the lack of gutters. This water was then pooling around the foundation and getting into the crawl space, causing multiple issues. So to fix this significant problem, we installed a complete GutterShutter system with buried downspouts to control the roof water and properly divert it away from the home.
Now, Ron's home is looking fresh with its new gutters! And most importantly, Ron no longer has to worry about water affecting his home's foundation.
Jim is a homeowner in Wichita, KS, and was worried about the roof over the patio. He wanted to protect the patio from future damage and decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair to learn more about new gutters. We sent System Design Specialist Josh Brown out to Jim’s home. During the inspection, Josh was able to see that water was not being collected properly due to poor design and gutter size. The crew installed brand new gutters from Gutter Shutter, giving Jim peace of mind that water would collect properly.
Jimmie F. has a lot of mature trees around his home that would constantly clog his gutters. Each time there was a clog, he would have to clean out the gutters so then the water could drain. Tired of having to do this, he decided it was time to give Thrasher a call and learn more about our seamless gutter installation.
System Design Specialist Dylan Hagen went out to Jimmie’s home to take a look at the current gutter system. Upon inspection, Dylan was able to see that the only way to keep the gutters clog free, was by installing GutterShutter, our seamless and clog-free gutters. While installing the gutters, the crew also buried the downspouts to keep water away from the foundation. Jimmie was very happy with the final look and thrilled that he no longer had to worry about clogs and gutter maintenance!
