Before & After Photos

Becky M. moved into her home a couple of months ago and was looking to start getting it back in order. Her driveway was uneven and the concrete was starting to crack. Looking for a long term solution, she decided to call Thrasher after receiving a referral from a friend, who had a great experience with us.

We sent System Design Specialist, Matt Rehn out to her home. He was able to identify that her driveway and garage were starting to crack due to street creep and she didn’t have her control joints caulked correctly. We installed a 3 part concrete protection system and compression guard, to fix the settling concrete and stop the street creep from impacting her driveway and garage. 

This customer was planning on selling their home in the summer and wanted to improve the street view of the property. They had uneven concrete in their driveway and a settling sidewalk leading up to the front door. We used our three-part package of Poly level, nexus pro, and sealant pro to level, and seal the concrete cracks and surface. These repairs helped bring more value to the home and will help them get the best value from their home when it comes time to sell. 

This customer is living in their forever home. They've raised their family here, and when the nest's empty, they've decided to stay, too. Along the way, they've made a lot of upgrades to make sure their home maintains value. And their next project? Finishing the basement. But before they do that, they first need to address their home's foundation issues. That's why they called Thrasher. 

System Design Specialist, Wes Marshall, went out to their home to inspect the foundation. During the inspection, he noticed that the south wall of the house was showing signs of wall failure. The previous owners had a different company address the issue, but it appeared they only provided a band-aid solution. The installed wall supports were not properly braced or attached to the floor joists. Due to this mishap, they were actively failing.

The solution to this problem was installing wall anchors. There were too many obstacles in the floor joists to install PowerBraces, and with so much deflection, we decided wall anchors were the best solution. We installed the proper amount of wall anchors with spacing to provide a permanent solution. 

This is a classic case. So many homeowners are under the impression that what was previously installed provides desired results. In reality, in this homeowner's case, the braces were failing, and the wall was still moving. Luckily, Thrasher was able to identify the problem and come up with a permanent solution. 

This homeowner is a mom of three who owns an older block home experiencing wall failure. The walls were pushed in significantly, and she knew she needed to fix them to protect her home and family. She reached out to a few companies to get estimates. And a lot of them told her she would have to replace her foundation. Foundation replacement is super intrusive and annoying to deal with, so she explored other options. That's when she came across Thrasher. 

We sent out System Design Specialist Neil Kwiatkowski to inspect the walls. He found that every wall was pushed in over 2 inches during the inspection. Because of this extreme deflection, her back walls needed some serious wall support. 

To fix her foundation issues, we used geo-lock wall anchors and power braces on her front and sidewalls. And then, for her back walls, which were experiencing the most wall failure, we used EverBrace to take the weight off the original walls and support the weight entirely. 

The customer was thoroughly impressed by the job and ecstatic she didn't have to replace her entire foundation.

This homeowner noticed extreme cracks forming behind their drywall. He knew that Thrasher had installed waterproofing systems before he bought the house eight years ago, so he called us to come out and perform an inspection. 

Chuck Kain visited the home to assess the problem. He found that the south wall had huge cracks and deterioration of mortar joints. The cracks were very apparent on the exterior but much, much worse inside. 

To fix this issue, we extended the waterproofing by adding new sump pumps. To address the wall failure, we installed wall support and our EverBrace system on the south wall. 

The homeowner loved the finished look and was super excited to start finishing his basement and not have to worry about these issues again.
