Before & After Photos

This homeowner was experiencing structural foundation issues at this home he was looking to sell. He knew he needed to get this fixed before putting it on the market, and needed someone reliable but fast. He called Thrasher and System Design Specialist, Anthony Salcedo, came out to help. Anthony found three of the foundation walls were failing and were in poor condition. Anthony worked with the homeowners engineer with findings of poor soil pushing in and causing stress throughout the crawlspace. With these findings, Anthony went back to the homeowner with a solution. We were able to install Everbrace to restore two of the walls and helical piers on the wall that lacked proper footing. The homeowner and real estate agent were happy with our process and how easy it was to get it all done. There is no doubt the new homeowners of this property are happy with the transferrable warranty, and feel safe in their new home. 

This homeowner was selling his home, when it got flagged for inspection due to structural issues. He was unsure what the problem was, because all he had noticed were a few cracks in the walls. Knowing that he needed a professional opinion before he would be able to sell his house, he decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the homeowner's foundation and determine what was causing the wall cracks and the home to be flagged for structural issues, as well as to suggest solutions to make the home available for sale. Anthony found that the home had an internal support beam that was in great shape, however the supports underneath this were sinking into the earth, thus causing the structural issues. He knew that SmartJacks were needed to support the home's support beam, so he called an installation team out to install 5 SmartJacks in order to permanently support and stabilize the floor.

The homeowner was very happy with the work that was done and with how quickly the process moved. In fact, he already has a buyer for his home! Check out the newly supported support beam for this homeowner's home!

This homeowner was ready to remodel the upstairs of her home, when she noticed that all the floors were sloping towards the middle of the home. She recognized that something was wrong and unstable about her home, so she wanted to fix this issue before remodeling. She gave us a call to have an inspection done on her home.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the foundation and give the customer a comprehensive explanation of the problem. Anthony noticed that the floors were sagging due to an interior support beam that was sloping significantly due to a lack of support posts. Anthony and his team knew just what to do, so they began work right away when the customer decided on the solution she would move forward with. The team removed both existing posts and began drilling two helical soil nails deep into the earth. The Helical Piers System can support our SmartJacks, which were then installed so that the home's support beam now has proper support posts that run deep into the earth. 

The homeowner was very impressed with the whole process and the installation. Check out her home's new support system!

This customer has lived in her home for quite a while, but recently she's noticed one of her basement walls start to crumble. She's concerned that if it isn't fixed soon the wall could completely fail. The home was built a long time ago and likely had a crawlspace foundation. At some point they dug out the crawlspace and made room for storage and for the HVAC and water heater. Rather than installing a proper concrete wall, they put a concrete skim coating over the dirt wall that was dug out. Over time the pressure of the soil caused the concrete to fail. To repair the wall we used two Smartjack XT to support the floor above, and EverBrace to reinforce the basement wall to prevent any further degradation. 

These homeowners recently bought their home and planned to start remodeling it soon. Before their remodel however, they noticed that there were unlevel floors on the second floor. Wanting to ensure that everything would go well with the remodel, they called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the upstairs floors and determine what the cause of this issue was. Anthony sound that the support beam in the basement has sinking issues and that the floor had heave issues. He found the root cause of this problem to be that the support posts holding up the support beam was failing and needed to be replaced. Anthony and his team got right to work after discussing with the homeowners the best course of action. The team installed SmartJacks and expansion joints to support the basement support beam and ensure that the posts would not move even if the support beam were to heave or sink. This combats the sinking problem, so that the upstairs floor will remain level in the future.

The homeowners were happy with the outcome and the look of them. They can't wait to proceed with their remodel. Check out their support beam lift!
