The Customer was unable to close his bedroom door for nearly a year. He had tried to reframe the door and sand it but to no avail. He was tired of his door sticking and concerned about his sinking home. We used a SmartJack system to level the home's floor and foundation and solve the issue of the sticking bedroom door.
After his girlfriend expressed concern and fear for this homeowner's foundation walls bowing in, the homeowner determine that he needed to have a professional come take a look at the walls for his girlfriend's peace of mind. He decided to call us because he knew we gave free estimates and that we would know the right solutions to help fix his problem.
We sent System Design Specialist Josh Krestine to inspect the foundation walls and determine what solutions would be best for his problem. Josh found that due to the lack of gutters on the home, water had been stacking up against the foundation walls, causing it to belly in. After explaining this to the homeowner, the homeowner decided to fix his foundation walls first before proceeding with any prevention solutions. We sent an installation team to install PowerBraces which work to enforce the wall and straighten the wall back to normal over time.
The homeowner was relieved that he called us before the next big rain, and he is happy that his girlfriend and him will have a peace of mind about his foundation walls. Check out the wall straightening solution for this homeowner's foundation wall!
These homeowners in Bolivar, MO were concerned because their basement walls were caving in. They feared that if they didn't solve this, their walls would collapse and cause very large problems in their near future. They had heard of our solutions, so they decided to give us a call for a discussion and inspection of their walls.
System Design Specialist Justice Haven arrived at these homeowner's home to inspect the basement walls which were failing to determine what solutions we could offer. Justice found that pressure from the back of the walls was causing the walls to cave inwards. After discussing with the homeowners that the problem has a solution and reassuring them that they caught the problem early enough, Justice called one of our installation teams. This installation team arrived and placed PowerBraces along the failing walls to stabilize the walls, as well as help to push the walls back to their original position over time with tightening.
The homeowners were quite pleased with their newly supported walls. They loved the solutions as well as the installation team who helped them to fix their failing walls. Check out their newly installed PowerBraces!
Janet has lived in her home for over 50 years. She also envisions her daughter moving into it in the future. Needless to say, this farmhouse will be in the family for the unforeseeable future. That's why when Janet noticed her unstable basement walls, she knew she had to fix them. She reached out to several foundation repair companies and noted that Thrasher was the only one that took the time to look at the entire foundation and explain precisely why her walls were cracking.
One of our System Design Specialists, Trevor Stokes, went out to her property and found that the south wall of the house was bowing in from soil weight and pressure against it. On top of that, the north half of the home sits on a crawl space, and the beams were sagging from inadequate supports, which made the north side of the crawl space sink. As a result, Janet was experiencing sloping floors, sticking doors, and drywall cracks throughout her home.
We installed EverBrace to stabilize the south wall and prevent it from bowing any further to fix these issues. Then we installed helical piers and SmartJacks in the crawlspace to stabilize the floor and keep the north side of the foundation from sinking any further.
Janet was impressed with how hard the crew worked and how fast they could get it all done, especially considering the team had to make several unique adjustments to the situation.
The top of the driveway by the garage had sunk along with some cracks forming. The driveway was starting to fall apart. He knew that is he didn't get it fixed now, it would cost more in the future, and this was his forever home.
We used poly-level to lift the slabs along the garage and nexus pro to seal the cracks and the joints. He was over the moon about the finished product and was very pleased about the professionalism of the crews and Thrasher in general.
