Before & After Photos

Homeowner Bob was worried about a foundation wall crack in his Storm Lake, IA home. Looking for a contractor to come out and look at the foundation walls, he decided to give Thrasher a call. System Design Specialist Corey Little went out to Bob’s home.

During the inspection, Corey identified that the wall was in stage 2 of wall failure. Bob noticed that the crack was getting larger because the wall lacked proper support to stop it from moving. The crew installed Geo-Lock Anchors to stabilize the wall. Bob was happy with how the anchors turned out.

Brad T. is a homeowner in Nemaha, IA and was experiencing some issues with his foundation walls. The failing foundation was allowing water to seep in through the cracks and harming the living quality of the environment. The excess moisture was causing mold growth and a damp atmosphere in the basement. In search for a permanent solution, Brad gave Thrasher a call because of our reputation and excellent customer service.

System Design Specialist Jordan Comstock arrived at the home in Nemaha, IA to undergo a thorough inspection on the foundation walls. Jordan determined the walls were experiencing stage-two wall failure that was causing them to bow inward and allow water to infiltrate the space. In addition, water was also entering through the cold joints of a foundation add-on in the late 70’s. To combat these issues, Brad chose to have Thrasher install a combination of our waterproofing and foundation products. We began by applying our CleanSpace waterproof barrier to the full height of the foundation walls and a TripleSafe sump pump system to drain the water effectively. Then, our PowerBrace wall support system was installed to stabilize the bowing foundation.

Brad was thrilled to have his homes foundation issues repaired and a thing of the past. Thrasher was able to not only restore his foundation walls, but also his peace of mind knowing his basement is a safe place once again.

Eric and his wife are worried that their floor is going to fall through and cause irreparable damage. You can see in the "before" photo how they were once sinking. The couple used to live in an RV, so it's important to them that this home is taken care of because they plan on staying there. To stabilize the sagging floors, we supported the beam under the floor using eight SmartJacks. SmartJacks are designed to stop settling, can raise sagging floors back to the proper level, and are adjustable! 

The top of the driveway by the garage had sunk along with some cracks forming. The driveway was starting to fall apart. He knew that is he didn't get it fixed now, it would cost more in the future, and this was his forever home. 

We used poly-level to lift the slabs along the garage and nexus pro to seal the cracks and the joints. He was over the moon about the finished product and was very pleased about the professionalism of the crews and Thrasher in general. 

This homeowner was selling their house, however their suspended floor began rotting out which was hurting the property value. Concerned that their house might not meet inspection standards, they gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the support structure of the suspended floor to look for the reason that it began to rot. Anthony found that years of water coming off the hvac system had seeping into the flooring system which caused the metal supports to rust. This meant that the flooring system was compromised and that something needed to be done so that the floors could be structurally sound. Our team installed two Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam to stabilize the suspended floor. These Smart Jacks are made of galvanized steel, which makes sure that they do not rust like other steel or metal support jacks. 

The homeowner was so happy that they could close on their house. Check out their new crawl space solution!
