Before & After Photos

Evan G.’s home was settling, and he was having trouble with doors shutting properly and cracking in the drywall. Looking for a long-term solution to stabilizing his home, his son recommended to have Thrasher come out and take a look.

We sent Service Technician, Matthew George out to the home. His was able to identify that the westers corner of his home was settling into the ground, which was causing problems inside the home. Cracks were also starting to appear in the floors and back patio. We were able to install Push Piers and attach them into the footings of the home to permanently stabilize the foundation and prevent further settlement.

This homeowner didn't want his wall to fall over after he moved, as he was moving next door to where the wall would be his backyard. We had done work for the homeowner in the past, so he decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Matt Jacobson to inspect the wall and determine what was causing it to fall as well as how to fix this problem for the homeowner. Matt found that the old wall anchors on his wall were installed years ago and they were failing to support the wall, allowing it to lean. He knew that these older anchors would not be fixable, so he came up with a plan to use new GeoLock Anchors to stabilize the wall over time. Our installation team came out and installed these new anchors quickly so that the wall could start to push back towards its original position.

The homeowner was so impressed with the communication and the cleanup afterwards as well as with the wall straightening within the first month. Check out the new wall anchors on this retaining wall!

This homeowner in Hornick wanted to sell her home, but wall failure in her basement was scaring away many buyers and attracting low offers from the rest. Once the homeowner was able to share that the walls were being repaired by Thrasher and that the warranty for the work would transfer with the home, interested increased and the home was sold shortly thereafter for a good price.

Jeff W. is a homeowner in Baxter Springs, KS but had recently purchased a new home making him want to sell his current one. However, before selling Jeff knew the foundation problems were going to have be taken care of. To find the best permanent solution, Jeff gave Thrasher a call to come inspect the failing foundation.

System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived in Baxter Springs to perform a thorough inspection in order to find the best solution. The interior wall that separated the crawl space from the cellar area had a two-inch sheer at the bottom and deflected enough the floor above it had dropped. To fix this, the team installed our PowerBrace support system and ShotLock wall restoration. The PowerBrace permanently stabilizes the foundation and can be tightened over time to return it to its vertical position. ShotLock is then used to seal all cracks to prevent water from seeping in.

 Jeff was thrilled with the results of the solutions our team installed.  He was impressed with the quality and display of professionalism from the crew. He now has the confidence he needs to sell his home for maximum value.

Randolph had just moved into his home and felt the floors were not well supported. He gave us a call, and we sent out System Design Specialist Levi Ashmore to inspect the house. 

After looking in the crawl space, we saw a lot of old supports that were sagging and leaning. In fact, the supports were stacks of bricks and blocks! We also noticed the support beam was in pretty bad shape. This was causing many issues upstairs, including cracks, sagging floors, and uneven doorways. 

To fix this issue, we used a steel supplemental beam and steel SmartJacks to support the floor joists in Randolph's home permanently. Getting the connection point where the jack and beam meet and where the jack and the system base connect is crucial. On top of that, we also made sure the bottom of our system got deep enough into the soil to help stabilize since soil washes out and dries up over time.

Randolph was very pleased with his now stable floors!
