Berenice S was growing frustrated with the concrete on her back patio. Last year she had hired a concrete contractor and within a year, the entire patio was cracked up. She wanted to protect the space from further damage, so she decided to give up a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Mike Hoffman out to the home. He was able to identify that the soil underneath the concrete was unstable, which was causing the concrete to crack. To lift the concrete, we used PolyLevel to get the concrete back to the originally pour level as well as stabilize all of the concrete to prevent further settling. We then applied NexusPro to seal the joins and repair all of the cracks and to prevent pathways for water getting under the concrete.
Marissa is a new homeowner in Omaha, NE, and wanted to make sure the front porch was in good shape, so she called Thrasher. Service Technician Wes Marshall went out to inspect the porch and was able to see that the three support columns were starting to sink and that one of the supports had fallen over. The crew installed four Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam, giving the porch the right amount of stabilization. Marissa was thrilled to have Thrasher come out to her home and fix her porch!
This homeowner had been struggling for many years with her basement walls. They started to fall apart and she was worried that she would need to replace the entire foundation. After a while, her church stepped in and decided they would help her finance getting her walls professionally fixed, so they gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Neil Kwiatkowski to inspect the walls and come up with a solution that would stabilize the homeowner's failing walls. Neil found that the shelf walls that had been holding up the foundation were being supported by 4 sheets of ply wood, and that many of them had already crumbled. Our team knew just what to do and they got to work installing the EverBrace System. This system works to stabilizes a foundation wall.
The homeowner was very thankful for all of the work that was done and she was really impressed with the results. Check out her new EverBrace System!
James S. takes great pride in his home and became concerned when he noticed a crack on the side of his foundation. At one point the crawl space flooded due to a broken pipe and wanted to make sure his foundation was stable. After hearing good things about Thrasher, he decided to give us a call.
System Design Specialist Corey Little went out to James’s home. There was settlement on the corner of the home that had caused the crack that James saw. We used helical piers to stabilize the corner of the home to prevent further damage and settlement. James also wanted to make sure that his crawl space was okay and could be used as storage. So we encapsulated the space with CleanSpace, drainage matting and put SilverGlo up on the walls to insulate for energy efficiency. A smart drain was also installed to alert him if water ever entered the space again and to keep humidity down, we also put in a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.
Longtime homeowner Mary Kay G. was having problems with water coming down one of her walls. After having another contractor come to fix the water intrusion with no luck, Mary decided to give us a call.
Service Technician Marlon Marroquin and crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, effectively keeping water out. Then encapsulated the space with CleanSpace so that water would no longer come through the walls. Mary was happy that the water would no longer be a problem.
