Mold in your basement can seriously impact your health, as this customer found out. Breathing in the spores that grow when your basement is damp can lead to:
allergies
immune suppression
lung disease
chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)
asthma
To stop the mold from wreaking havoc on this home any longer, we installed CleanSpace barrier which is 100% waterproof and comes with a 25-year warranty!
Concrete slabs can crack, sink, and settle over time due to poorly compacted soil. This can lead to issues like cracked floors and sagging interiors, which is what this customer was experiencing when they called us.
We used push piers that are designed to shift the weight of the foundation onto the piers and off of the soil. Our push piers work because they are able to reinforce at the critical tension point. Our foundation pier systems are custom-designed and can be installed year-round. We offer options in black steel and galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. Our installation process is fast and our push piers come with a 25-year warranty.

This homeowner wanted to protect their window from moisture as well as increase their curb appeal. They had used us previously for interior waterproofing in their basement, so they decided to give us a call about window moisture protection.
We sent Service Technician Brandon Rost to inspect the basement windows and determine why moisture was drawn to them. Brandon determined that the basement windows were at grade level which allowed dirt, snow, and leaves to pile up in front of them and cause potential problems of moisture. After talking to the homeowner, Brandon solved their problem by removing the dirt from around the windows and installing Poly Wells with covers to protect the windows.
The homeowner thought they looked pretty good. Check out their new Poly Wells!
Norma W. in Pella, IA, called us at Thrasher Foundation Repair and reported extreme humidity levels in their basement during the fall season. Our System Design Specialist Jon Patterson arrived at the home and saw that the humidity was higher than any of the homes we inspect during July. To solve this, the customer chose to have our complete waterproofing system installed to keep their basement dry year-round. This system consists of our WaterGuard interior basement drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, and a SaniDry dehumidifier for excess moisture. Norma couldn’t have been happier with our solutions and the efficiency of our crews.
This homeowner had a problem with their walls bowing and showing signs of foundation failure, like cracks and crumbling. Thrasher Foundation Repair's solution for this is called the EverBrace, a wall restoration system that is made of steel panels and I-beams used to reinforce the existing structure. Our installation team also injects a special foam to fill the gaps between the wall and the panels to make it stronger and look nicer. This new support system took the load off the failing wall, giving the homeowner a strong foundation without the high cost and disruption of replacing the entire foundation.
