Before & After Photos

Craig and his family have lived in this home for over 30 years. He began to notice a crack in the basement walls and kept his eye on it for years. Craig decided it was time to call Thrasher when he noticed a more visible deflection in the wall. He began to worry that the wall would eventually cave in. Hydrostatic pressure outside of the home builds up pressure around the existing foundation walls. This is due to the soil around the home settling and allowing gaps for water to create pressure, causing the walls to bow. 

For this project, PowerBraces were used to permanently stabilize the existing wall. PowerBrace is a product that is made with galvanized steel and fits the exact height of your walls. A unique feature of PowerBrace is that it is secured at the base of the wall, and has an adjustable feature at the top, allowing for the walls to be straightened over time. Craig and his family can now rest easy that they will avoid total wall failure. 

Homeowner Debbie noticed her basement wall was bulging out quite a bit. Scared it would collapse and damage her home, she called Thrasher. That's when we sent System Design Specialist Corey Little out to her home to see what was going on.

After inspection, he determined the wall was in stage 2, almost stage 3, of wall failure with a 2 1/4" deflection. Right on the cusp of what we call extreme wall failure. Corey then took the time to discuss with Debbie what the issue was, why it was happening, and laid out how we can fix it. 

Once we decided on a plan, we went back to Debbie's house and used Powerbraces to support the wall. We chose to use Powerbraces because they will help avoid any obstructions on the other side of the wall. On top of that, it'll also help the wall to straighten overtime. 

Debbie let us know how relieved she was to hear her problem was fixable and happy she no longer has to worry about it. 

This homeowner had foundation piers installed around the entire home by another company just last year. In the span of nine months, the home settled another two inches. The homeowner decided he wanted a permanent fix, so he gave us a call. We used push piers to permanently lift and stabilize the foundation and we used PolyLevel to fill voids, lift, and stabilize the foundation slab. Lastly, we used SmartJacks to permanently stabilize the home's floor support. 

Larry G. was having problems with his driveway crumbling. He was growing worried about the concrete slabs towards the end of the street, that was where the most crumbling was happening. Looking for a concrete repair service, he decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist out to the home. The team was able to use PolyLevel to lift and level the driveway, walkway and stairs. CompressionGuard was installed to prevent concrete from the street from expanding and pushing up on the driveway. Then NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the joints.

This customer is living in his forever home and wants to take care of small problems before they turn into big ones. His home has a walkout basement and the two perpendicular retaining walls that are attached to the foundation are starting to show signs of failure. This is happening because of the years of absorbing hydrostatic pressure. Our crew installed anchors on both retaining walls to stop the movement and try and push them back into their original position.
