This homeowner wanted to increase his home's curb appeal as well as keep his home safe. He noticed that the retaining wall he has next to his driveway was starting to lean and become unlevel, and this worried him. He had seen some of our commercials as well as heard of our good reputation from his friends, so he decided to give us a call and see what we could do to support his retaining wall.
We sent System Design Specialist Mike Schmidt to inspect the retaining wall and determine what was causing to to lean. Mike found that the retaining wall was deflecting because of hydrostatic pressure pushing against the wall for many years. Although the situation seemed difficult to fix to the homeowner, Mike explained how the wall deflection could be solved using GeoLock Anchors that will help to straighten it overtime. The homeowner liked this solution so much, that he had one of our installation crews come out the following weekend to secure his retaining wall. Check out the new wall anchors!
The foundation walls in this home were deflecting inwards due to increasing pressure from the soil. To fix this, we stabilized the foundation walls using our PowerBrace wall system.
Longtime homeowner Mary Kay G. was having problems with water coming down one of her walls. After having another contractor come to fix the water intrusion with no luck, Mary decided to give us a call.
Service Technician Marlon Marroquin and crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, effectively keeping water out. Then encapsulated the space with CleanSpace so that water would no longer come through the walls. Mary was happy that the water would no longer be a problem.
Kristina W. purchased her family home and is going to restore it. Before starting with the renovations, one of the foundation walls had collapsed. Needing a long-term solution that would last she decided to call Thrasher.
System Design Specialist Warren Peters went out to the home. He was able to identify that one of the walls had completely collapsed and the other walls were showing signs of failure as well. We used a combination of PowerBraces with ShotLock to stabilize the walls. Kristina was super excited to know the foundation walls were completely stabilized and excited to continue on with the project.
Marissa is a new homeowner in Omaha, NE, and wanted to make sure the front porch was in good shape, so she called Thrasher. Service Technician Wes Marshall went out to inspect the porch and was able to see that the three support columns were starting to sink and that one of the supports had fallen over. The crew installed four Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam, giving the porch the right amount of stabilization. Marissa was thrilled to have Thrasher come out to her home and fix her porch!
