Concrete Repair in Liberty, MO

Homeowner James has been making improvements to his home throughout the past few years and it was now time to tackle his cracked and sinking driveway. He had two driveway slabs that had dropped. Which created areas that water, snow, and ice would collect. It got so bad that as he was shoveling snow, his shovel would get snagged on those sunken areas. That's when he said "Enough is enough!" and called Thrasher. We sent System Design Specialist Bobby Bartow out to inspect his driveway and discuss solutions with James. 

Bobby decided the best course of action would be to use PolyLevel foam to lift the areas that were down. And then use our NexusPro Joint and crack sealer in and around the areas we lifted to ensure those areas were safe from moisture. When we were finished, James was so grateful that we were able to get the job done, do it well, and even do it in 18-degree weather. 

Sinking Driveway Lifted in Kearney, MO

In Kearney, MO, a homeowner was tired of his driveway settling because it caused a huge bump that was rough on his car's tires. The driveway was also causing a tripping hazard when someone would try to use the front entrance walkway, so the homeowner decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Jimmy Hungerford to inspect the tripping hazard and determine what damage it had caused as well as how to fix these issues. Jimmy say the tripping hazard and the problematic concrete slab and immediately took a look at the foundation to ensure that the home was stable. After that inspection, Jimmy explained to the homeowner that the concrete was pushing into the foundation wall of the basement, meaning that the longer the uneven concrete existed, the more likely it would caused the foundation wall to cave in. The homeowner was upset by this news, and knew that he wanted to fix his concrete immediately. We had our team start to fix this homeowner's concrete quickly by utilizing PolyLevel Foam and NexusPro Sealant to lift, level, and seal the concrete back to a height in which the foundation walls were not at risk.

The homeowner was happy with the work that was done and he was very thankful that we were able to help him catch his problem early enough that no further damage was done. Check out this homeowner's newly lifted driveway!

Concrete Repair in Primghar, IA.

Lawrence was passionate about the upkeep of his property. He started to notice some cracking in his driveway, which began to cause some concern that something worse could start to happen. Lawrence chose Thrasher because of the protection system we have to preserve his driveway and ensure there are no further problems. After inspecting the project, there was a void under the concrete which caused the slabs to strain and begin to crack. The joints were unsealed, allowing water to get under the concrete, causing weakened soil. 

 

For this project, we used the three-part concrete protection system. PolyLevel was used underneath the concrete to stabilize the area completely. NexusPro was used to seal all the joints and cracks to prevent water from getting under the concrete. The final part is SealantPro, which was used to seal the surface of the concrete and prevent future stains, pitting, or flaking. This system has a 5-year warranty, which Lawrence loved to hear. He can now rest assured that his driveway will not cause any more problems! 

 

 

Water Pooling in Driveway in Aurelia, IA

Whenever it rained, water would pool in Brian's driveway. Brian's kids and their friends often park in the driveway, and he was concerned that they would end up slipping and falling one day. So he called Thrasher to come out and fix this annoying problem. Connor O'Brien, System Design Specialist at Thrasher, went out to his home to look at the driveway.

We found that Brian had several voids under his driveway, which caused the water to pool.

Our solution was easy and simple. We used PolyLevel to direct the water flow and then used NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks.

Brian is so relieved that the water no longer pools, and he doesn't have to worry about anyone falling on his driveway anymore.

Concrete Repair in Independence, MO

Cheryl is going to sell her house in a few years and is getting ready to get a maximum property value. She called Thrasher to get her driveway fixed without replacing it all. When researching which concrete repair company to work with, she decided on us because of our professionalism and solution-oriented approach. She liked that we gave her different options and solutions to her problems. System Design Specialist, Josh Krestine, went to her home to get to the root of the problem. Upon inspection, he found that Cheryl had a sinking landing due to poor soil compaction around the house, which created a significant step up to her front door. Other driveway areas were cracking and falling as the water entered cracks and eroded the soil from underneath the concrete. 

To fix these issues, we used a waterproof polymer foam to level all her concrete. Next, we used NexusPro to seal all cracks and joints to make them more stable and keep water from getting underneath. Then, for the final touch, we power washed and sprayed SealantPro to act as a protectant and keep the driveway from eroding due to water and temperature changes. This gave her driveway new life!

Cheryl, in the beginning, was very worried she'd have to replace the concrete and, honestly, didn't think we would be able to repair it. But we did and were able to do it at a fraction of the total replacement price.
