Before & After Photos

Randolph had just moved into his home and felt the floors were not well supported. He gave us a call, and we sent out System Design Specialist Levi Ashmore to inspect the house. 

After looking in the crawl space, we saw a lot of old supports that were sagging and leaning. In fact, the supports were stacks of bricks and blocks! We also noticed the support beam was in pretty bad shape. This was causing many issues upstairs, including cracks, sagging floors, and uneven doorways. 

To fix this issue, we used a steel supplemental beam and steel SmartJacks to support the floor joists in Randolph's home permanently. Getting the connection point where the jack and beam meet and where the jack and the system base connect is crucial. On top of that, we also made sure the bottom of our system got deep enough into the soil to help stabilize since soil washes out and dries up over time.

Randolph was very pleased with his now stable floors! 

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.

This homeowner was struggling with the sagging floors on the main story of her home. She decided that this was something that was bringing down her quality of life, so she decided it needed to be fixed and she called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Justice Haven to inspect the crawl space. He found that moisture was causing the support beams to sag, and thus the floors were sagging. To fix this problem, Justice and his team used our SmartJacks and supplemental beams to lift the floor back to its original level. 

The homeowner loved the outcome as her floors are now level. Check out her crawl space change!

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.

These homeowners were struggling with severe sagging floors which were causing problems when they were renovating their home. When they decided to have something done about this, they gave us a call and we sent System Design Specialist Justice Haven. Justice inspected the homeowner's crawlspace as sagging floors are commonly a result of crawlspace problems, and he found that the crawlspace had a lot of water which had weakened support structures. He determined that this was due to the soil in the dirt crawlspace washing out and leaving moisture to cause problems with the structure. After discussing these problems with the homeowner, Justice designed a solution in which the crawlspace would be encapsulated and kept dry, as well as new support would be added to combat the sagging floors problem. One of our installation teams came out to this home and installed SmartJacks and supplemental support beams to reinforce and stabilize the flooring, then, they installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to encapsulate the crawlspace and keep it dry. The homeowners were very happy with the outcome and they were excited to have their renovation continue. Check out the newly supported crawlspace!
