Before & After Photos

This homeowner is a mom of three who owns an older block home experiencing wall failure. The walls were pushed in significantly, and she knew she needed to fix them to protect her home and family. She reached out to a few companies to get estimates. And a lot of them told her she would have to replace her foundation. Foundation replacement is super intrusive and annoying to deal with, so she explored other options. That's when she came across Thrasher. 

We sent out System Design Specialist Neil Kwiatkowski to inspect the walls. He found that every wall was pushed in over 2 inches during the inspection. Because of this extreme deflection, her back walls needed some serious wall support. 

To fix her foundation issues, we used geo-lock wall anchors and power braces on her front and sidewalls. And then, for her back walls, which were experiencing the most wall failure, we used EverBrace to take the weight off the original walls and support the weight entirely. 

The customer was thoroughly impressed by the job and ecstatic she didn't have to replace her entire foundation.

This homeowner noticed extreme cracks forming behind their drywall. He knew that Thrasher had installed waterproofing systems before he bought the house eight years ago, so he called us to come out and perform an inspection. 

Chuck Kain visited the home to assess the problem. He found that the south wall had huge cracks and deterioration of mortar joints. The cracks were very apparent on the exterior but much, much worse inside. 

To fix this issue, we extended the waterproofing by adding new sump pumps. To address the wall failure, we installed wall support and our EverBrace system on the south wall. 

The homeowner loved the finished look and was super excited to start finishing his basement and not have to worry about these issues again.

After noticing damage to the brick façade of the houses exterior during our inspection, we ruled out settlement as the cause and found that failing walls behind the finished walls in the basement were the root cause of the water problem this homeowner was experiencing. Water had found its way into the basement through gaps created by the shearing walls, allowing mold and rot to flourish in the damp, dark environment.

Using  a combination of PowerBrace beams, a wall anchor and our EverBrace wall support system, we were able to stabilize the basement walls. To resolve the water issue, we installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system along with a sump pump system and vapor barrier to redirected water out of the home. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to resolve the high humidity in the basement.

This home's walls in the room below the stoop are made of red brick and they're experiencing severe deterioration. There are very large cracks and the main support beam is sagging. To prevent complete wall failure from damaging the home, we installed EverBrace on three walls in the stoop room and four SupportJacks to the support beam. EverBrace acts like a new foundation wall so the homeowner won't have to worry about the brick anymore!
