Before & After Photos

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.

John E. was looking to finish his basement and create more living space, but he was having trouble with water coming into his basement. Water would be coming in and the temperature in the basement would never get above the 50s. The pervious homeowner had work done by Thrasher, so John decided to give us a call and learn more about solutions for foundation repair.

Service Technician Kerry Lehman went out to John’s home to see what we could do. Upon inspection Kerry found the foundation wall had deflected so far that the exterior wall was no longer on the sill plate. There was a gap letting outside air pour into the basement. The wall cracks were also allowing water to come in and keep the basement wet.

The crew started with excavating the outside and straightening the wall with the GeoLock anchors. Three of the walls were also waterproofed with WaterGaurd and full-height CleanSpace was also put on the walls to keep the water out.

Homeowner Joan F. was tired of the musty smell in her home. She would notice it when she was gone for an extended time and then notice the smell upon return. She was ready to fix this permanently and gave Thrasher a call.

System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie went out to Joan’s home. He was able to see that there was water intrusion in the crawl space that was causing the musty smell. The crew installed a full perimeter drain line system in the crawl space and tied together with a SuperPump system. We then encapsulated the entire crawl space with CleanSpace to permanently separate the outside from the rest of her home. We finished this project by burying her discharge line from the sump pump. Joan was happy to never have to the musty smell in her home again!
