These homeowners in Bolivar, MO were concerned because their basement walls were caving in. They feared that if they didn't solve this, their walls would collapse and cause very large problems in their near future. They had heard of our solutions, so they decided to give us a call for a discussion and inspection of their walls.
System Design Specialist Justice Haven arrived at these homeowner's home to inspect the basement walls which were failing to determine what solutions we could offer. Justice found that pressure from the back of the walls was causing the walls to cave inwards. After discussing with the homeowners that the problem has a solution and reassuring them that they caught the problem early enough, Justice called one of our installation teams. This installation team arrived and placed PowerBraces along the failing walls to stabilize the walls, as well as help to push the walls back to their original position over time with tightening.
The homeowners were quite pleased with their newly supported walls. They loved the solutions as well as the installation team who helped them to fix their failing walls. Check out their newly installed PowerBraces!
Janet has lived in her home for over 50 years. She also envisions her daughter moving into it in the future. Needless to say, this farmhouse will be in the family for the unforeseeable future. That's why when Janet noticed her unstable basement walls, she knew she had to fix them. She reached out to several foundation repair companies and noted that Thrasher was the only one that took the time to look at the entire foundation and explain precisely why her walls were cracking.
One of our System Design Specialists, Trevor Stokes, went out to her property and found that the south wall of the house was bowing in from soil weight and pressure against it. On top of that, the north half of the home sits on a crawl space, and the beams were sagging from inadequate supports, which made the north side of the crawl space sink. As a result, Janet was experiencing sloping floors, sticking doors, and drywall cracks throughout her home.
We installed EverBrace to stabilize the south wall and prevent it from bowing any further to fix these issues. Then we installed helical piers and SmartJacks in the crawlspace to stabilize the floor and keep the north side of the foundation from sinking any further.
Janet was impressed with how hard the crew worked and how fast they could get it all done, especially considering the team had to make several unique adjustments to the situation.
The top of the driveway by the garage had sunk along with some cracks forming. The driveway was starting to fall apart. He knew that is he didn't get it fixed now, it would cost more in the future, and this was his forever home.
We used poly-level to lift the slabs along the garage and nexus pro to seal the cracks and the joints. He was over the moon about the finished product and was very pleased about the professionalism of the crews and Thrasher in general.
Elaine is a homeowner in Springfield, MO, and was getting ready to start remodeling her kitchen. Before starting the project, she wanted to address the sloping floors. System Design Specialist Nick Rosenthal was able to see that there was space between a foundation wall and the main beam. The crew installed Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam to fix the slopping floor. Elaine was thrilled to know her floors were properly supported.
This home in Springfield, MO was purchased for renovation and repair to be sold in the future. The buyer noticed that the floor was sagging and the wood posts below were beginning to rot.
We sent out System Design Specialist, Justice, to provide a free, same-day estimate. We determined that installing our Smart Jack system would level the floor above and provide stability to the home. This leaves a sturdy, permanent fix that actually addresses the issues that caused the floors above the crawl space to sag in the first place.
