Before & After Photos

Houseowner Debra K. recently moved to Wausa, NE where she would settle in her forever home. She chose to remodel the entire house except for the basement after noticing the foundation walls were beginning to fail. Familiar with Thrasher and the quality of work we do, she made the right choice and gave us a call.

 One of our System Design Specialists, Ryan Van Cleave, arrived in Wausa, NE to perform a complete inspection of the home. Ryan indicated there was stage-two wall failure in three different walls, and over time would continue to move inward. During the inspection Ryan also noticed the support beams beneath the floor were severely cracked and lacked the structure the floor would need for years to come. In order to make her forever home a reality, Debra made the decision to follow through with both solutions.

 To combat the failing foundation walls, the team installed our PowerBrace wall support system and wall anchors to stabilize them permanently without any invasive drilling or digging. Then, SmartJacks were installed to replace the existing support beams to give her flooring the structure it needs to last. These Thrasher solutions gave Debra the confidence she needs to begin remodeling her basement.

 In addition to the outcome, Debra was more than pleased with our efficiency throughout the duration of the project. Her basement is now a usable space, and ready for her to complete her forever home.

Traci B. is a homeowner in Canton, KS, but she recently accepted a new job opportunity elsewhere that required her to begin the selling process of her current home. To maximize the value, she wanted to have it inspected and have any repairs done, if needed. Thrasher was recommended to Traci by multiple close friends and family members, and she felt comfortable and confident when giving us a call to come and inspect her home.

Our System Design Specialist, AJ LaVoie, arrived at the Canton, KS home and began the thorough inspection. AJ noticed multiple cracks had formed in the drywall and quickly realized it was because the main support beam of the house was sagging due to moisture and poor structure. Traci opted to have our teams install four of our SmartJack support systems to support the main beam and lift the floor to its original state to close the gaps in the drywall.

Traci couldn’t have been more excited with her Thrasher experience and the permanent solution we provided. We not only made the home a safer environment, but we also restored her peace of mind so she can move forward in the selling process with confidence.

Thrasher was called in to level the sloping floors of this older home. The home was settling on a limestone foundation, making the project especially challenging. To level the floors, we installed our SmartJack XT support system in the basement to restore support to the failing joists, and to prevent the problem from recurring in the future. The homeowner was very happy with the end result, and felt taken care of throughout the process.

Rebecca is a homeowner in Salina, KS and she was nervous about the foundation of her home. The floors were sagging and she was worried about the effect it was having on her home. System Design Specialist Austin Ure went out to her home and was able to identify that the floor joists were not properly supported.

The crew installed SmartJacks and steel beams to give the floor much-needed support and raise it back up to a safe level. Rebecca was thrilled to know her floors were properly supported!

Longtime homeowners Albert and Kris R. love their home and wanted to keep the value and curb appeal of their home. They were having problems with the concrete on their front porch area and wanted a permanent concrete repair service. So, they decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Mike Lutmer out to the home to come up with a solution for Albert and Kris. Mike was able to identify that the porch and columns were settling outward. The columns on the front porch also supported the roof. After discussing the solution with Albert and Kris, we installed Helical Piers and were able to lift and rotate the columns back into place. During the whole project Albert and Kris were impressed with how dedicated the crew was.
