This homeowner just had concrete staining done on his back patio and wanted it to stay looking nice. Shane McClintic, System Design Specialist went out to meet with him. Shane saw this homeowner did not have any terrible problems, he started noticing a little cracking a didn't want things to get worse. The homeowner chose our best level of protection to extend the life of his concrete and keep it looking good. Check out the before and after photos for this project!
Homeowners Rich and Greta C. were having problems with their driveway. Concrete slabs were sinking, and cracks were forming and over time it kept on getting worse. Worried about the appearance and the effect this would have on their home, they decided it was time to see what concrete repair solutions were available. Familiar with Thrasher and recommendations from others, they gave us a call.
System Design Specialist Michael Romanek went out to their home in Papillion, NE to start with an inspection. He was able to see that there was settlement and cracking due to a drain spout that was dumping water onto driveway, causing the soil to wash away. We were able to fix this by leveling the driveway with PolyLevel, bringing the settled areas back up to the original level. Then we closed and sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. To protect the driveway, we also applied SealantPro to the whole driveway. All of the downspouts were buried, so they would drain away from the driveway.
Rich and Greta were extremely pleased with the outcome and glad they didn’t have to replace any of the concrete!
An animal burrowed under this homeowner's patio concrete, causing the concrete slab to sink. The homeowner noticed the animal running under the slab, and that the slab was a little unstable, so he decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Spencer Johnson to inspect the concrete and determine how to fill the void the animal left under the concrete as well as how to prevent the animal from trying to burrow there again. Spencer found that the best way to do so is by lifting, leveling, and sealing the concrete with strong, nontoxic material that the animal couldn't break. He got right to work on injecting PolyLevel foam to fill the void, lift, and level the concrete, then he used NexusPro sealant to seal off the cracks and joints of the concrete.
The homeowner was very happy with the quality work that was done, and he can't wait to enjoy his patio once more. Check out the filled void in the concrete!
This homeowner's concrete was slanted toward the foundation and he was worried it would cause foundation problems. He was trying to find a way to redirect the water and came across Thrasher. We were able to lift the back slabs and the front steps so they are perfectly slanted to direct water away from the home.
Jim and his wife have been in their home for 25 years and plan for it to be their forever home. They wanted to preserve the value of the home, and also prevent further future issues. They also knew leaving concrete issues unaddressed will only make things worse. They called up Thrasher because they knew we were a reputable company. They wanted a wholistic solution to their concrete problems and knew we could provide that for them! System Design Specialist, Britton Wood, came out to meet with the couple. Britton determined the concrete slabs were settling and cracking due to a couple of reasons; poor compaction of soil, water washout of underlying soil, and dry out from lack of moisture during dry periods over the years. This can cause voids under the concrete slabs, causing them to settle from a lack of support. Britton proposed we use our 3-Part Concrete Protection System. PolyLevel foam to lift and level the slabs back to place, NexusPro to seal up joints and cracks, and SealantPro to protect the surface from pitting and flaking. This couple was overjoyed with the outcome of the project. They could tell the crew worked really hard and it looks great. There is no doubt this couple is enjoying their forever home worry free!
