Before & After Photos

Randolph had just moved into his home and felt the floors were not well supported. He gave us a call, and we sent out System Design Specialist Levi Ashmore to inspect the house. 

After looking in the crawl space, we saw a lot of old supports that were sagging and leaning. In fact, the supports were stacks of bricks and blocks! We also noticed the support beam was in pretty bad shape. This was causing many issues upstairs, including cracks, sagging floors, and uneven doorways. 

To fix this issue, we used a steel supplemental beam and steel SmartJacks to support the floor joists in Randolph's home permanently. Getting the connection point where the jack and beam meet and where the jack and the system base connect is crucial. On top of that, we also made sure the bottom of our system got deep enough into the soil to help stabilize since soil washes out and dries up over time.

Randolph was very pleased with his now stable floors! 

This homeowner in Basehor, KS wanted to finish the basement but needed to do something about the walls before they could do so. The walls were cracking, and water was getting through the cracks causing other issues in the basement. Unsure about what to do next, they decided to call Thrasher and see if we could help them fix this. 

After looking at the wall and foundation of the home our team decided the best solution for their problem was the use EverBrace wall restoration system. This system uses steel corrugated panels and beams that work together to stabilize the foundation walls by adding unbeatable support. EverBrace transfers the load from the failing wall to the new durable support panels. 

Our customers can now feel safe in their basement and use the space however they please. 

Nicole and Gabae recently bought a 75-year-old dairy barn that had been converted into a home. Unfortunately, this home had a bowing wall and a few water issues, common issues found in older homes. With plans to stay for the long-term, they knew they had to get it fixed sooner rather than later. 

They had contacted another company, but their solution was invasive and involved removing the front porch altogether. Then they called Thrasher. We sent out System Design Specialist Eric Wulf to take a look at the problem.

Eric found that the wall was pushed inward 5 1/8 inches, the door above the area was sticking, and muddy water was entering the basement. He concluded that this was due to water weight, expanding soil, and the freeze/thaw cycle that caused the top of that foundation wall to move inward over a period of time. 

Eric decided the best course of action was to use our EverBrace Wall Restoration System. EverBrace is used for extreme wall failure. It's less disruptive than total foundation replacement, but still just as effective. It uses steel corrugated panels and beams to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls.

Our install team then got on-site and started to get to work. They installed galvanized steel panels with structural I-beams bracing them. They then sprayed structural foam between the steel panels and the original foundation wall to fill any voids between the new wall and the original wall.

Nicole and Gabae were so happy with the results and so happy they didn't have to compromise their front porch for a fixed foundation.

These home owners were thinking of tearing apart their basement because he wanted to remodel, make some nice additions, and make it a livable space. When he started to move around some boxes, he noticed how bad the wall was failing. They knew they needed somebody that can do quality work and ensure they can finish their basement safely and confidently. They called Thrasher and System Design Specialist, Corey Little, came out to meet with them. Corey inspected the foundation, and determined the walls were starting to fail due to expansive clay soil and hydrostatic pressure from water build up. Corey went to the homeowners and proposed we use our EverBrace system. EverBrace is used in cases of extreme movement. We use beams and steel paneling that has foam pumped in between the failing wall and the wall we created to transfer the weight off of the failing wall. Corey also proposed we use WaterGuard behind our EverBrace wall with a sump pump that way if the failing walls start to leak, it won't be a problem later. It would be best practice so we would not have to rip into the wall system if water intrusion happens. The homeowners were ecstatic they would not have to move out of the home for an extreme wall repair. They were happy they will have peace of mind with a company that stands behind a 25 year warranty.

These homeowners flipped their older home and they were excited to start their future in this home. Shortly after they moved in, they began to notice that the garage floor was cracking and that their bathroom and bedroom had started to show wall cracks. They were very concerned about this problem, so they decided to give us a call to see what was happening in their forever home.

System Design Specialist Tom Studer drove out to this home to see what was causing the garage floor and the walls to crack. Tom found that the garage was falling down because there were large voids underneath the footing. He also found differential settlement happening along the garage wall that was affecting the other rooms with wall cracks as well. He discussed these problems with the homeowners, and how we could fix them, and the homeowners couldn't have been more eager to have these problems fixed. On of our installation crews went to the home and used a Push Pier System to lift and stabilize the garage from any further damage.

The homeowners were so excited to have their problem fixed, and they are relieved that their forever home is stable. Check out the push pier system in action, lifting and stabilizing the home and the garage!
