This homeowner wanted to make his front step safe for kids because his family is planning on fostering more kids. The previous homeowner had patched up the step, but it didn't repair the drop the steps have experienced due to soil washout underneath. This acted as a bandage to improve the appearance, but not a real solution. We used PolyLevel foam to lift and level the step, filling the voids and compressing the loose soil that remained after the other soil was washed out. Now this step is safe and secure for the homeowner and his family.
These homeowners were experiencing sinking in their driveway near the garage apron, causing a noticeable bump whenever they pulled their car in and out of the garage. This issue was both an eyesore and a constant annoyance.
To resolve this problem, we used our polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete back to the garage's original level. The foam is injected under the slab, where it fills the voids, expands, hardens, and lifts the slab back into place.
The homeowners were thrilled with this solution, finding it more permanent than mud jacking, and they were ready to enjoy their improved driveway throughout the summer months!
This sidewalk was in need of a makeover. PolyLevel foam was used to raise the uneven spots back to a level surface, then we used NexusPro to seal the joints protecting the concrete from future damage. The sidewalk now is protected and looks brand new!
This homeowner had a hot tub in the middle of his patio. The concrete under was starting to settle, and he did not want water pooling up next to his home. He was having troubles getting anyone to come out to look at this. He saw Thrasher's ads, and decided to give us a go. He liked that we were local and family owned! System Design Specialist, Brock Scott, came out to meet with him. Brock determined the concrete along the home was settling due to fill soil, and water collection. He also noticed the weight of the hot tub was not helping. Brock proposed we seal up the joint along his home with NexusPro Join Sealant, as well as his expansion joints to prevent the area around them from settling. He also proposed we use PolyLevel foam to lift and level the concrete back to where it belongs. Even though the hot tub could not be moved completely out of the way, we were still able to get this project completed. This homeowner was so happy with the finished product! There is no doubt that he is relaxing in his hot tub, worry free of any more settling or unwanted water collection.
These homeowners just had moved into their new condo, and not even a year later their brand new concrete began to crack. They did not understand why this was happening, but wanted it fixed, so they called Thrasher! One of our System Design Specialists, Jeremey Scott, came out to meet with them. At first, the homeowner just wanted to seal up the cracks, but after further inspection, Jeremey found large voids under the slabs of concrete. Jeremey determined that since this was a new build, the soil under the concrete was shifting and settling. There was almost no support under the slabs, and the concrete started to crack. Jeremey proposed we use our 2-part concrete solution consisting of PolyLevel and NexusPro. PolyLevel would fill in the voids, giving the concrete support to lay on. NexusPro would fill in the gas, joints, and cracks. These homeowners were so happy Thrasher could provide a solution that was proactive and would save them a big headache in the future. If they would have ignored the problem, there could have been major settling and cracks in the near future! There is no doubt that they are worry free of their driveway and will be for the foreseeable future!
