Before & After Photos

This customer reached out to us because an inspector told him he needed to have his crawlspace looked at when he purchased the house.

When we came out to do an inspection, we found the humidity levels were extremely high due to the exposed soil in his crawlspace. The soil was allowing water vapor to release into the organic wood material in the flooring system above.

To fix this, we installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to protect the crawlspace from releasing moisture and reaching the floors. The vapor barrier isolates the home from the earth, providing a layer of protection for moisture and undesirable humidity that comes with it.

Kathy S. is a homeowner in Guide Rock, NE with a future of staying in this estate. However, the brick foundation of her home was deteriorating and beginning to fail. In order to protect her investment, she decided it was time to have it taken care of. Familiar with our reputation at Thrasher, she gave us a call to get the job done right.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick arrived at the scene to inspect the failing foundation walls. After presenting a variety of solutions, the customer opted to have our ShotLock Restoration System installed to permanently fix the walls. This product utilizes our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize both the external, and internal surfaces of the foundation.

 Kathy was more than pleased with the appearance of the restored foundation, and the display of professionalism from our teams throughout the duration of the project.

One of the walls in Mike M.’s laundry room wasn’t doing so well. He was growing concerned about it because water was seeping through. Since he uses the space, he wanted to seek out a long-term fix that would allow the space to be usable. As a returning customer, he knew Thrasher could provide the solution he needed.

Service Technician Christian Hodson arrived at Mike’s home to see what we could do. Christian was able to identify that one of the walls was deflecting and was in stage 2. We installed PowerBraces, permanently stabilizing the wall. Also, to prevent water from entering again, the area was waterproofed with WaterGuard.

New homeowners Alex and Rachel H. were looking to fix their concrete patio and make sure the necessary repairs were done, to prevent any future problems for their home. Ready to start spending time on their back patio, they decided to give Thrasher a call to learn more about our concrete repair solutions.

System Design Specialist Shane McClintic went out to Alex and Rachel’s home. During his inspection, he found the patio was setting toward and against the back foundation wall. This was causing the concrete to be uneven and crack. Water was also draining towards the foundation. The concrete was also putting a lot of added weight against the foundation wall. From the weight of the soil and pressure from the concrete, the foundation wall was starting to bow in. Shane also identified the crack on the front of their driveway was from street creep.

The crew installed channel anchors to stabilize the foundation wall. Then the patio was lifted and sealed with PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant to close up the joints and cracks, also making the whole area level again. To help the front driveway, CompressionGuard was also installed to prevent street creep from expanding their driveway. Alex and Rachel were thrilled with the end result and extremely pleased with the knowledge of the crew.

Kelly R. is a proud homeowner in McPherson, KS, and wanted to begin planning for retirement by maximizing the value of his home. Before making any home improvements of his own, he wanted to guarantee the foundation of the home was permanently stable. All four of the basement walls were experiencing wall failure, but some were much more severe than others. Kelly wasn’t sure where to begin looking for a solution, but after a quick Google search, he was immediately impressed by our reviews and extensive reputation. Without hesitation, Kelly gave us a call to provide a permanent solution for his damaged foundation.

To begin the foundation repair project, System Design Specialist Sean Robinson arrived in McPherson, KS to perform a full inspection on the home’s foundation. Sean determined the walls were failing due to constant hydrostatic pressure over a long period of time. Kelly chose to have Thrasher install GeoLock wall anchors for the more severe areas and our PowerBrace wall support system on the rest. The GeoLock wall anchors attach to stable external soil to slowly return the wall to its vertical structure over time. The PowerBrace permanently stabilizes the wall in its current position to ensure the safety of the homeowner.

Kelly was overjoyed with the outcome of the project. Not only was his foundation secure and prepared to stand the test of time, but he was impressed throughout the entirety of his Thrasher experience. Our teams were able to restore Kelly’s peace of mind and give him the confidence he needs to progress into retirement.
