Before & After Photos

Sandra E. is a retired homeowner in Wymore, NE and wants peace of mind moving forward with her home. In addition, she has plans to leave the home to her children and doesn’t want the existing foundation issues to be a problem. Two of her foundation walls were bowing and beginning to fail due to expansive soils. The walls were buckling inward causing a negative slope and allowing water to seep in. Sandra was familiar with our reputation and in order to find a quality permanent solution, she gave us a call.

 To begin the project, System Design Specialist Trevor Stokes arrived to fully inspect the failing foundation and provide a variety of solutions. Sandra opted to have our team install PowerBraces on both walls, and ShotLock on the north wall due to the extreme damage. Our PowerBrace wall support system is designed for bowing walls and with the purpose of permanently stabilizing it in place. Over time, the braces can be tightened to straighten the walls and return them to their vertical position.

 Sandra was very thankful for the solutions our team was able to provide and the communication throughout the duration of the project. Sandra can now retire with confidence that her home is built to stand the test of time.

David and Laura J. noticed that there was a forming outside on their foundation wall. Worried that the wall could pull away from the main home and cause more damage, they decided to call Thrasher to learn more about foundation repair solutions.

 The crew installed 5 helical piers to give the walls support and to close the foundation crack. After the 5 piers were installed, we went back and added another pier to give the wall more support and close the foundation crack even more.

This home had water coming in through the foundation and because of that, the brick foundation was failing. To fix the foundation walls, we installed our EverBrace Wall System, which is shown in the pictures above. We also installed WaterGuard french drain system with a TripleSafe sump pump system to help keep water out.

Houseowner Debra K. recently moved to Wausa, NE where she would settle in her forever home. She chose to remodel the entire house except for the basement after noticing the foundation walls were beginning to fail. Familiar with Thrasher and the quality of work we do, she made the right choice and gave us a call.

 One of our System Design Specialists, Ryan Van Cleave, arrived in Wausa, NE to perform a complete inspection of the home. Ryan indicated there was stage-two wall failure in three different walls, and over time would continue to move inward. During the inspection Ryan also noticed the support beams beneath the floor were severely cracked and lacked the structure the floor would need for years to come. In order to make her forever home a reality, Debra made the decision to follow through with both solutions.

 To combat the failing foundation walls, the team installed our PowerBrace wall support system and wall anchors to stabilize them permanently without any invasive drilling or digging. Then, SmartJacks were installed to replace the existing support beams to give her flooring the structure it needs to last. These Thrasher solutions gave Debra the confidence she needs to begin remodeling her basement.

 In addition to the outcome, Debra was more than pleased with our efficiency throughout the duration of the project. Her basement is now a usable space, and ready for her to complete her forever home.

This couple in Malcolm, NE have an old barn on their property that they would like to keep standing. The barn had some severe foundation issues, so our team came in and took care of them. We installed a number of products to keep this structure upright, including a push pier, helical piers, a Geo-Lock wall plate, and a Geo-Lock Earth anchor. Now this column is straight and stable.
