Before & After Photos

This homeowner originally called us out for a free estimate regarding waterproofing solutions for his wet basement floor. When System Design Specialist Bobby Bartow discovered the foundation wall problem, he knew that he needed to refocus the homeowner on the more immediate issue. Bobby discovered that the previous company who had used carbon fiber tape to fix the concrete wall did not know that this product cannot properly support a concrete wall. After explaining this problem to the homeowner, the homeowner was determined to have this problem solved the right way so that he would no longer need to worry about his wall he thought was stable.

Bobby called our installation team to work on installing PowerBraces that will stabilize the wall and even move it back to its original position over time. While this installation was happening, Bobby knew that the homeowner was still wanting some waterproofing solutions so that his basement was not wet, yet the homeowner still wanted to stay within a budget that included the PowerBraces; Bobby talked to the homeowner and to the crew to work on installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to ensure that water would be pumped out of the basement regardless of the situation.

The homeowner was very thankful that he got a free estimate for waterproofing so that his wall problem ended up being solved. He was thankful as well that Bobby was able to include some solutions within budget of the his original problem as well. Check out the difference in this homeowners wall!

This homeowner was using his covered porch space as an exercise room, however he recently noticed that the floor was a bit unstable. He was concerned that he wouldn't be able to exercise in his room if he didn't try to it, so he decided to give us a call. 

We had System Design Specialist Daryn Britton look at the structure of the porch and determine what was causing the floor to feel unstable. Daryn found that the floor was unstable because there was not a strong enough support system underneath the porch. In order to fix this, Daryn suggested that the homeowner had SmartJacks and a new support beam installed. The homeowner liked this solution, so we had an installation team use these products to lift and stabilize the homeowner's porch. The homeowner was happy with the outcome, and he is excited to use the space without worry now. Check out the new support structure under the porch!

These homeowners wanted to refinish their basement, but their bowing basement walls were stopping them. The problem was that they had top shear on one of their foundation walls and hydrostatic pressure from the soil on the outside of the walls. Our team fixed these problems by installing PowerBraces on the "problem" wall. We decided to use PowerBrace because the walls were poured and the deflection wasn't to the point of requiring another fix. Now the wall is stable and these homeowners can start their refinishing project!b

These homeowners flipped their older home and they were excited to start their future in this home. Shortly after they moved in, they began to notice that the garage floor was cracking and that their bathroom and bedroom had started to show wall cracks. They were very concerned about this problem, so they decided to give us a call to see what was happening in their forever home.

System Design Specialist Tom Studer drove out to this home to see what was causing the garage floor and the walls to crack. Tom found that the garage was falling down because there were large voids underneath the footing. He also found differential settlement happening along the garage wall that was affecting the other rooms with wall cracks as well. He discussed these problems with the homeowners, and how we could fix them, and the homeowners couldn't have been more eager to have these problems fixed. On of our installation crews went to the home and used a Push Pier System to lift and stabilize the garage from any further damage.

The homeowners were so excited to have their problem fixed, and they are relieved that their forever home is stable. Check out the push pier system in action, lifting and stabilizing the home and the garage!

Recently, they noticed their floors on the first level of their home were uneven and lacking the support they needed. Dennis and Sherry have a history of customer loyalty with Thrasher. Within the past five years, we’ve waterproofed their basement, installed a radon mitigation system, and addressed any issue with the home’s concrete. They continue to choose Thrasher because they know it’s a company, they can trust to provide the best solution.

 To begin the project in Atlantic IA, System Design Specialist Jeff McCormick completed a thorough inspection to develop the most permanent solution to benefit the home the most. Dennis and Sherry opted to have our SmartJack Support System installed to stabilize the floors above. This is a permanent solution and can be adjusted, if needed, over time. It attaches to the already existing beams and is solidified in the ground to give it the lasting support it needs.
