Before & After Photos

This home in Schaller, Iowa was in real danger of foundation collapse as the brick walls of the basement deteriorated and deflected inward - a sign that water pressure from saturated soil around the homes foundation had been building up for awhile. To prevent a catastrophic foundation event and return safety and stability to the home, we installed out new EverBrace wall support system. The customer was thrilled and relieved to have the problem fixed!

This homeowner wanted to fix her retaining wall because it was cracked and she was worried that it would not support anything if it got worse. She knew we had solutions for this problem, so she gave us a call. 

We sent System Design Specialist Daryn Britton to inspect the retaining wall and determine how we could best fix it. Daryn found that the retaining wall was deflecting 4 inches and there was a large crack that was making this possible. Knowing just how to help, our team installed Geolocks to stabilize the wall and straighten it over time. The crack in the wall is not gone, however the retaining wall is once again stable and will no continue to deflect.

The homeowner was very happy when her retaining wall was fixed and her son even wants to help tighten the anchors in the future. Check out the Geolock anchors!

Homeowner Bob was worried about a foundation wall crack in his Storm Lake, IA home. Looking for a contractor to come out and look at the foundation walls, he decided to give Thrasher a call. System Design Specialist Corey Little went out to Bob’s home.

During the inspection, Corey identified that the wall was in stage 2 of wall failure. Bob noticed that the crack was getting larger because the wall lacked proper support to stop it from moving. The crew installed Geo-Lock Anchors to stabilize the wall. Bob was happy with how the anchors turned out.

Brad T. is a homeowner in Nemaha, IA and was experiencing some issues with his foundation walls. The failing foundation was allowing water to seep in through the cracks and harming the living quality of the environment. The excess moisture was causing mold growth and a damp atmosphere in the basement. In search for a permanent solution, Brad gave Thrasher a call because of our reputation and excellent customer service.

System Design Specialist Jordan Comstock arrived at the home in Nemaha, IA to undergo a thorough inspection on the foundation walls. Jordan determined the walls were experiencing stage-two wall failure that was causing them to bow inward and allow water to infiltrate the space. In addition, water was also entering through the cold joints of a foundation add-on in the late 70’s. To combat these issues, Brad chose to have Thrasher install a combination of our waterproofing and foundation products. We began by applying our CleanSpace waterproof barrier to the full height of the foundation walls and a TripleSafe sump pump system to drain the water effectively. Then, our PowerBrace wall support system was installed to stabilize the bowing foundation.

Brad was thrilled to have his homes foundation issues repaired and a thing of the past. Thrasher was able to not only restore his foundation walls, but also his peace of mind knowing his basement is a safe place once again.

Eric and his wife are worried that their floor is going to fall through and cause irreparable damage. You can see in the "before" photo how they were once sinking. The couple used to live in an RV, so it's important to them that this home is taken care of because they plan on staying there. To stabilize the sagging floors, we supported the beam under the floor using eight SmartJacks. SmartJacks are designed to stop settling, can raise sagging floors back to the proper level, and are adjustable!
