This home in Lark Park, IA had deteriorating basement walls that, in addition to bowing and cracking, were also letting cold winter air freely pass through the gaps created by movement over the years, leaving the basement feeling cold and uncomfortable. To return safety and stability to the walls, we used our new EverBrace wall repair system. We also installed SilveoGlo insulation material to keep the cold air out.
This homeowner wanted further protection of her home as she knew the water damage harmed her wall a lot before she utilized our waterproofing solutions. After the waterproofing solutions were completed, she wanted to have us look at her deflecting walls and determine what solutions would be best to combat this problem, so she called us out again.
We sent Service Technician Sam Hogan to inspect the wall, determine what the damage was, and come up with a solution to fix this problem. Sam found that due to hydrostatic pressure on the outside of the wall before waterproofing work was done, the wall had pushed 2 inches inward. While the problem was not progressing any more, the homeowner was determine to have this fixed for her safety, so Sam came for an installation appointment to help the inward moving walls. Sam and one of our installation teams used PowerBraces to stabilize the wall and move it back to its original position over time.
The homeowner was very happy with the results as she knew that her home was stable for the future. Check out the installed PowerBraces!
This homeowner was experiencing problems with her wall failing opposite of the wall she fixed because it was also failing. She knew that she wanted to fix this new wall failure problem before she left the home, so she decided to give us a call. We sent Service Technician Sam Hogan to the homeowner's home to see what the new wall problem was and determine how we could solve this new wall problem. Sam found that like the previous wall we had fixed, this wall opposite of that wall was experiencing wall deflection from the pressure of soil pushing the wall inward. Just like our team had used PowerBraces to fix the previous wall, Sam utilized PowerBraces to fix and stabilize this wall. Annually, Sam will come to tighten the PowerBraces so that the wall is pushed back to its original position. The homeowner was just happy that Sam was able to come out to her home and know exactly what to do. Check out the before and after!
Homeowner Keith wanted to find a solution to ensure that his home was safe and protected. Since this customer has been happy with our work in the past, he chose Thrasher Foundation Repair to help secure this part of his home.
System Design Specialist Ryan Allen was able to come up with a permanent solution that fit the customers needs. Since the wall was short, we installed Geolock anchors to secure the wall prevent the joints from getting worse.
Check out the before and after of this project! These homeowners were having complications with their walls falling in after extending their garage and putting on an addition.

They also can help straighten out the wall over time. These Power Braces also come with a 25 year warranty, which will ensure these homeowners stay protected.
