This homeowner was wanting to make sure her home was prepared and safe for her children who are going to take it over in the future. She did not want to leave any problems unsolved, that would cause her children issues into the years to come. She wanted a company that does things right and had heard great things about Thrasher, so she gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Corey Little, came out to meet with her. He did his inspection and came back to the homeowner with the findings. Corey found there was poor compacted soil, the heat we experienced this summer really helped contributed to the settlement. Joints in the problem areas were not sealed, allowing water to weaken or wash away the soil holding up the slab. The concrete did not have a functioning expansion joint which was leading to some damage from street creep on the garage slab. The slabs in front of her driveway gave her a speed bump into the garage and the walkway to the door was dropping down. Together, Corey and the homeowner, decided to use our Concrete Protection System, and an expansion joint. We used the Polylevel foam to lift up and level the dropped area. We caulked up any joints and cracks to fix and prevent water intrusion with NexusPro. We finally put in a proper expansion joint to absorb the expanding concrete from further movement towards the home. The homeowner was so happy to hear this would be a repair vs a replacement. Check out or before and after of this one!
Adam is a homeowner in Sioux City, IA, and he had a growing concern about the amount of water collecting around his pool. He wanted to make sure the concrete around his pool would last and didn’t want the slabs to become even more uneven.
We sent Service Technician Chad Bauder out to Adam’s home. He recommended using PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant to fix the settling concrete. The crew added more PolyLevel to areas where there was a lot of water collection. Adam was thrilled to know that his pool deck would no longer be uneven!
Homeowner Tonya H. had plans to replace her concrete after major settlement and cracking had happened. She was concerned about water getting through the concrete and entering her basement. After hearing that there were other solutions to saving her concrete, she decided to call Thrasher.
System Design Specialist Jon Young went out to Tonya’s home. He was able to identify that a 2-part concrete protection system would fix the concrete and she didn’t need to go through the hassle of replacing concrete. The crew started with PolyLevel, which was able to lift and level the concrete back up to the original height. Then the crew used NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal and prevent water from entering the joints. Tonya was thrilled with how her concrete looked and how easy this solution was instead of replacing the concrete.
Rori S. takes great pride in how her home looks. She has been dealing with ugly concrete slabs for a while. She had someone she knew attempt to repair them for her and they settled again. She didn't want to spend any more time and money on them and wanted something that will permanently fix the issue making her home look good and maintaining its value
The back patio gets a lot of water and she never wanted to deal with those issues again. We lifted and leveled the areas she was struggling with. On the driveway we put in CompressionGuard to prevent damage from street creep and sealed all cracks in joints to prevent water from saturating the soil.
