This homeowner was gifted this home from his father. He started to notice settlement on the back wall where the crawlspace was added and his floors were also sagging. He called Thrasher to come out and inspect. We found, upon inspection, that the add-on crawlspace was not supported sufficiently when it was built. The span from wall to wall was too wide and needed supports in the middle to help the slab not settle.
To fix the issue, we used our I-beams to run the length of the crawlspace in smart jacks to support the beam so that the floor would not settle or sag.
The homeowner was very happy he doesn't have to concerned about that area and happy he can continue to live in the home that his father built.
Longtime homeowners Dan & Lois T have had problems with their concrete and noticed it was getting worse. Looking for a long-term solution that required minimum work down the road, they decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Jesse White out to their home. He was able to find a solution. The team installed push piers on the two exposed foundation walls and installed power braces on the basement walls. To level the concrete, we used PolyLevel and lifted the concrete back up to the original spot. Dan and Lois were very pleased with the project and how helpful the crew was in explaining everything that went on and cleaning up once the work was done.
This customer's home had cracked and bowing walls in their basement. This was caused by freezing water around the foundation pressing against the walls.
We were able to prevent any further falling of the wall with our wall anchors and straightened the walls back with our powerbraces.
This was was near complete failure. The wall in question is a combination of poured concrete and concrete block material. The poured section of the wall was formed horizontally on the inside, and was an "Earth Pour" on the outside, meaning the builder did not use a concrete form outside the home, but rather used the exposed dug up soil as the mold to form the concrete.
We were able to install Everbrace to permanently stabilize the wall and prevent it from moving inward and collapsing.
Longtime homeowner Arlynn in Grand Island, NE noticed that one of the walls in his basement was showing signs of wall failure. He had previously seen this happen in his other walls and wanted to fix it before the wall got worse.
Service Technician Daniel Hilkemann went out to Arylnn’s home. During the inspection, Daniel was able to identify that the wall was in stage 2 of wall failure. The crew installed three Geo-Lock Anchors to straighten the wall and provide the proper stabilization. Arlynn was impressed by the work of the crew.
