These customers wanted to make sure that the basement was well supported because they hold many gatherings here. The floors in that part of the house had been sagging for a while because there isn't enough structural support. To fix this, we installed footings, smartjacks, and a supplemental beam to provide the necessary support.
There was a big gap between the driveway and home and our customer was concerned water was getting in there. He does not want water going down the side of the foundation wall. To help, Thrasher Foundation Repair cleaned the wall gap out, put a backer rod in the gap, and sealed it with NexusPro to ensure water wouldn’t seep in anymore.
EverBrace wall restoration system is a less disruptive alternative to total foundation replacement. This system uses steel corrugated panels and beams that work together to stabilize foundation walls, adding strength and unbeatable support.
The customer's main concerns were keeping this her forever home and making sure it holds property value. She takes pride in her home and really stressed it holds a ton of sentimental value. She chose Thrasher Foundation Repair because we took the time to explain the process and provide clarity on what will be done, and we had great communication fitting around her schedule. The major problem we found with the foundation was the walls failing. The worst wall had a deflection of 2 1/2 inches. Air and water were getting in through a couple of cracks that has formed on her wall. That caused, hydrostatic pressure over time pushing on the wall allowing it to get to stage 2 wall failure.
We were able to fix the problem and give the homeowner peace of mind that her wall would not bow in any further and possibly straighten the wall by bracing the wall with our PowerBraces. We were able to secure 3 of our lever bracket style PowerBraces to her worst wall.
She was very happy with the installation and very pleased with how fast and efficient the crew was. This project stands out because on the day we were out there, she knew she had wall failure but didn't know how bad it was. I quoted two walls and this wall was the worst. She was a little hesitant but after reassuring her that our braces would stop the movement of the wall, we would service the braces once a year, and there is a possibility of the wall straightening over time made her have the peace of mind of keeping her house in great shape to last her lifetime.
