Before & After Photos

Marcia D. in Johnston, IA, was experiencing extreme settling in the front entrance of her house. The concrete steps had sunk, and the slab leading to the slabs had a void underneath from soil washout, a problem we often see. After recommendations from those closest to her, she quickly called us to provide a permanent concrete repair solution. 

Our crews arrived at the home in Johnston, IA, and installed our 2-part concrete protection system. It consists of our PolyLevel lifting foam to stabilize and level the staircase and slabs and our NexusPro sealer to caulk all cracks and control joints. The two solutions ensure that the concrete remains level and sealed properly to avoid this in the future. 

This customer lives here with his family but he is also a home host for a disabled child which is why he wanted to get his sidewalk fixed. He didn’t want his children and wife to trip and get hurt on the sidewalk up to the house. We fixed the problem by lifting and leaving the concrete with our PolyLevel foam. We then sealed up their control joints with NexusPro sealant to prevent water and rocks from getting in the joints. 

The sidewalk to the home of this couple was getting so bad it was becoming an extreme trip hazard for family and friends who wanted to visit. They had been Thrasher customers before, they knew of our reputation and loved the great quality work they received in the past, so they called us back up. Jordan Mullen, one of our System Design Specialists, went out to meet them. Jordan found they had a downspout right on the corner of their home that was dumping water right onto the sidewalk, which caused the soil the wash away from under the sidewalk. This caused the sidewalk to break away from each other and settle. To fix these issues, we buried the downspout out into the yard, so it wouldn't continue to dump water onto the sidewalk. Then we lifted and leveled the sidewalk to the home, using our Polylevel, and sealed all the joints and cracks with nexus pro. These homeowners were very pleased with the work done, and are planning on calling Thrasher again for all of their foundation, waterproofing, and concrete needs. 

For this project, we worked on Martha's beautiful countryside house that she bought back in 2021. Martha's concrete was cracking and has settled over the 20 years since it was first installed. She was told by other companies that her concrete would need to be fully replaced. But when she turned to us for an alternative solution we suggested using our PolyLevel foam system to lift and level the concrete. Additionally, we applied out NexusPro joint sealant to make the concrete even more durable. Martha was thrilled with the results, stating, "I'm glad that reconditioning the concrete was an option versus having to tear it all out and replace it." 

This driveway is in need of repair after experiencing some major cracking. After using NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks, and SealantPro, which permanently bonds the concrete protecting it from moisture, this driveway is looking brand new again!
