PowerBraces and a New Sump Pump in West Des Moines, IA

Homeowners Linda and Severin J. noticed that there was cracking on one of their foundation walls and were worried about the impact this would have on their foundation. Linda and Severin were also looking to update their sump pump. They decided to give Thrasher Foundation Repair a call.

System Design Specialist Nicholas Hruska went out to their home. Upon inspection Nicholas was able to identify three walls had structural defects. Their sump pump was also having mechanical failure and the basement had high humidity levels.  The crew installed three PowerBraces so the walls would be supported and stabilized. Then a new sump pump and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was also installed to control humidity. Linda and Severin were extremely pleased with everything and how the crew kept the area clean.

Foundation Wall Repair Using PowerBraces in Urbandale, IA

The individual contacted us out of concern that their wall was showing signs of structural instability, with visible cracks and noticeable bowing. They had witnessed other walls collapsing rapidly and wanted a reliable solution to prevent a similar situation in their home. They selected our services based on our reputation for providing the best solutions at a reasonable price and were pleased with our professionalism and conduct during the project.

 

To address the issue, we installed power braces, which are designed to support and stabilize walls. These braces extend from the floor to the ceiling, providing vertical support and preventing further bowing or movement. The power braces offer the advantage of gradually straightening the wall over time, restoring its stability and integrity.

 

By utilizing power braces, we provided the customers with a reliable and effective solution to reinforce their compromised wall. They can now have peace of mind knowing that their wall is supported and can be gradually straightened, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of their home.

Crumbling Brick Wall Stabilized in Story City, IA

This homeowner had been concerned about the condition of his west wall for over 30 years. He didn't want the next owner of him home to worry about this problem as well, so he decided to enlist the help of professionals.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Wessling to inspect the west wall for damage as well as suggest a solution that would effectively strengthen the home's foundation wall. Nick found that the west wall of the home has been slowly failing over the last 30 years and that this was a visible problem even from the outside of the home; In fact, a window had broken because it was not supported by this wall. He suggested to the homeowner that a wall repair brace should be utilized in order to support and stabilize the wall over time and the homeowner was very happy with this idea. One of our installation teams came to this home and started to stabilize the wall utilizing PowerBraces to push the wall back upright overtime. After that, they supported the failing interior wall by using SmartJacks to combat the problem of crumbling bricks on the wall.

The homeowner was very impressed with the team's installation and with the solutions that Nick designed. Check out the newly supported home!
