Before & After Photos

This homeowner recently purchased their house. Upon purchase, they were aware that the crawl space had moisture in it. After noticing their allergies flared up since they moved in, it was time to get professional help. 

We were the third company to look at the problem. The first company said that the crawl space was not tall enough for them to work in. The second company said the crawl space was too wet for them to inspect. But here at Thrasher, we're willing to get a little dirty and do our best to help.

After we inspected the crawl space, we determined that this crawl space had a high moisture content in the soil and a faulty sump pump installed. 

To fix these issues, we encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace and a drainage mat. We also replaced the faulty sump pump with a Triple Safe Sump Pump. And lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona to reduce humidity and purify the air.

The customer was grateful we were willing to help them and said the SaniDry made a noticeable different within the first 24 hours.

John E. was looking to finish his basement and create more living space, but he was having trouble with water coming into his basement. Water would be coming in and the temperature in the basement would never get above the 50s. The pervious homeowner had work done by Thrasher, so John decided to give us a call and learn more about solutions for foundation repair.

Service Technician Kerry Lehman went out to John’s home to see what we could do. Upon inspection Kerry found the foundation wall had deflected so far that the exterior wall was no longer on the sill plate. There was a gap letting outside air pour into the basement. The wall cracks were also allowing water to come in and keep the basement wet.

The crew started with excavating the outside and straightening the wall with the GeoLock anchors. Three of the walls were also waterproofed with WaterGaurd and full-height CleanSpace was also put on the walls to keep the water out.

Traci B. is a homeowner in Canton, KS, but she recently accepted a new job opportunity elsewhere that required her to begin the selling process of her current home. To maximize the value, she wanted to have it inspected and have any repairs done, if needed. Thrasher was recommended to Traci by multiple close friends and family members, and she felt comfortable and confident when giving us a call to come and inspect her home.

Our System Design Specialist, AJ LaVoie, arrived at the Canton, KS home and began the thorough inspection. AJ noticed multiple cracks had formed in the drywall and quickly realized it was because the main support beam of the house was sagging due to moisture and poor structure. Traci opted to have our teams install four of our SmartJack support systems to support the main beam and lift the floor to its original state to close the gaps in the drywall.

Traci couldn’t have been more excited with her Thrasher experience and the permanent solution we provided. We not only made the home a safer environment, but we also restored her peace of mind so she can move forward in the selling process with confidence.

This home is celebrating its 100-year anniversary later this month, and to honor that, the homeowner wanted to get some of her worries about the home checked out. She and her daughter had noticed some settlement issues and were concerned it was damaging the inside drywall. The brick home sits on a shallow footing and has settled over time due to the cycle of wet and dry seasons that expand and contract the soil. To make sure this home is standing for many years to come, we installed 12 helical piers on the front porch and side bump out. 

Carol is a long-time homeowner in Spalding, NE, and concern about the foundation walls falling in. She wanted to keep her family home in good shape and decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair. We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick out to Carol’s home. During the inspection, he was able to see that the walls needed support. The crew installed PowerBraces and was able to provide the walls with the necessary support. Carol was impressed with how smooth and easy the installation went.
