Before & After Photos

Virginia initially reached out to us to pour new concrete for her back patio. After explaining that it's not a service we provide, it opened up a conversation. She asked, "What else do you do?" After listing our services, she figured we could still help her, just in another area. Her floors were sagging and dipping in the back of the house, near the kitchen. She was worried that if she were ever to rent it out or try to sell, that'd be an issue. 

Sheldon Sharp, System Design Specialist at Thrasher, went out to her home to find the root of the problem. When he went into the crawl space, he found the cement blocks holding up her house had settled and were falling over. To prevent further damage to her home, we installed smart jacks and new i-beams to support the floors and lift them to give the floor a sturdy feel. 

Virginia loved how the floors felt and was so happy we did a thorough inspection. We were happy to help her with something she didn't realize was an issue when she initially called! 

Young couple, Sophia and Ivan, noticed their back door wasn't opening. And since Sophia was having a fence installed to allow their kids to safely play outside, she decided to dig a little deeper and find out why her back door wasn't working. That's when she called Thrasher. Once we got on site and took a look around, we found that their home had settled into the soil along the back foundation wall. We also noticed some wall failure on that same wall, which explains why the back door wouldn't open. 

To fix the problem, we installed helical piers on the back foundation wall and lifted the foundation. We then installed GeoLock Anchors to support the wall from further wall failure. Reflecting back, Sophia and Ivan really appreciated how System Design Specialist Clint Gerber took the time to explain what was wrong and walk them through the process of how we were going to fix it. Now, they can spend their summers with their children, worry-free, knowing they can safely hang out in their backyard and easily use the backdoor again to come and go as they please.

Nick noticed a large crack above the door of his mother's house. He called Thrasher to maintain value and make sure his mom was safe in her home. Jon Graves went out to the home to find out what was happening. He found the garage had settled to the outside corner, causing a large crack above the door to open up. To fix this, we installed push piers. But then things got interesting.

When we did the lift, the result was excellent. The crack closed up, and everything looked good. However, the crew left, and when they came back the following day to finish up, they noticed a new crack behind the old crack had opened in a straight line down the mortar joint. This is something that can happen when lifting a home, especially brick. It doesn't happen often, but we always mention to the customer the possibility. Once we noticed the new crack, we instantly checked to ensure there was no settlement, and luckily, we found none. We then sealed the crack and blended the mortar to be less visible. Everything was good as new again!

Nick and his mom were excited that the crack had closed up. They were, at first, concerned about the new crack, but they felt more at ease that we immediately addressed it and fixed the issue. Their garage is stabilized and will not be moving anymore.

This porch on a home in Wichita was sinking and leaning in the middle severely. We were able to fix it by installing a few piers. You can see the visible difference in the photos!

Jill is a homeowner in Lindsborg, KS, and needed some foundation repair. Her foundation was cracking and splitting in multiple locations, so she decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair. System Design Specialist Austin Ure went out to Jill’s home. 

During the inspection, Austin was able to see that the cracking and splitting that Jill saw had also caused large cracks to form upstairs as well. The crew installed Push Piers to stabilize the foundation. Once the Push Piers were installed Jill was glad to have gained peace of mind knowing her foundation was supported and stabilized.
