Before & After Photos

This customer is living in his forever home and wants to take care of small problems before they turn into big ones. His home has a walkout basement and the two perpendicular retaining walls that are attached to the foundation are starting to show signs of failure. This is happening because of the years of absorbing hydrostatic pressure. Our crew installed anchors on both retaining walls to stop the movement and try and push them back into their original position. 

Longtime homeowner Marjorie A. was looking to pass her home on to her grandson. She wanted to make sure that the home’s foundation was in good condition and wouldn’t cause any problems for her grandson, she decided to give Thrasher a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Jon Young out to Marjorie’s home. He found that her foundation walls were bowing in. The crew installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to stabilize the walls. The anchors will permanently stabilize her basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten out the walls. Marjorie was extremely happy with the end result and was given a peace of mind.

This homeowner was planning on moving in the coming years, so she knew that she needed to fix any issues so that she could get full value for her home. She called another foundation repair company come to fix her foundation walls, however their anchors were not fixing the wall bowing issues. Frustrated by this solution failing, she decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Daryn Britton to inspect the previous wall anchors, determine why the walls were still bowing, and design a solution to fix the walls permanently. Daryn found that the previous anchors had a few problems such as not being installed correctly and that the hydrostatic pressure against the walls was stronger than the anchors were. He knew that these walls could be fixed with anchors that were stronger than the pressure as well as installed correctly, so he called for an installation team to properly fix these walls. One of our installation teams answered the call and came to the home installing GeoLock Wall Anchors on the failing walls.

The homeowner was extremely happy with the outcome. She was so excited, that she even scheduled a waterproofing appointment with us to take care of any and all water problems she was having in her basement. Check out the newly installed GeoLock Wall Anchors!

Debbie and Mark G. love to spend time outdoors on their back patio with their family. They are planning on putting patio furniture under their pergola but are unable to due to settled concrete causing water to pool in that area. Looking for a long-term solution, they decided to give us a call.

System Design Specialist Shane McClintic went out to the home and in addition to the back patio having concrete settlement, he was also able to identify spots on the driveway that also had settlement. The team leveled and lifted the concrete back to the original position using PolyLevel. They then removed the existing caulking and sealed the joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant to prevent water from entering again. Debbie and Mark were not only pleased with how their driveway and back patio looked, but also with the professionalism they received from the team as well.

This rental property owner noticed that the front porch of his property was settling away from the house and he was afraid that it would collapse, pulling down the roof with it. After many sleepless nights, he decided to have someone come look at it, so he called us. 

We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Powers to inspect the porch and determine what was causing the settling problem as well as determine what products would best fix the problem. Brandon found that there was not enough supports built under the porch to hold the weight of the building materials above it, so the supports were slowly sinking under the weight. He knew just not to solve this problem by adding additional, stronger supports, so he called for an installation team to implement this plan. One of our installation teams came out to this home and installed a new mental supplemental support beam along the full length of the porch structure, then they placed SmartJacks with proper spacing underneath this new support beam.

The property owner was so excited to have the structure of the porch back and stabilized and he is relieved to have little worry about the porch's structure. Check out the new supports of the rental property's porch!
