Foundation Repair in Fort Dodge, IA

This homeowner lives alone and rarely could get into her basement. She was worried that the walls would cave in between the times she could get down there. She knew of Thrashers reputation, and gave us a call. Kevin French came out to meet with her. After inspection her foundation, it was clear her walls were in very bad shape. Over time the soil around her foundation had shifted and allowed her walls to be less supported. Kevin proposed we use Power Braces to give that support back to the wall. Power Braces are one of our foundation repair products. They are floor to ceiling braces that are installed to the wall. This prevents the walls to stop caving in, and overtime can straighten the walls back out. Check out the before and after of this process! There is no doubt this homeowner has the peace of mind she was looking for. 

Bowing Walls Reinforced in Rogersville, MO

After his girlfriend expressed concern and fear for this homeowner's foundation walls bowing in, the homeowner determine that he needed to have a professional come take a look at the walls for his girlfriend's peace of mind. He decided to call us because he knew we gave free estimates and that we would know the right solutions to help fix his problem.

We sent System Design Specialist Josh Krestine to inspect the foundation walls and determine what solutions would be best for his problem. Josh found that due to the lack of gutters on the home, water had been stacking up against the foundation walls, causing it to belly in. After explaining this to the homeowner, the homeowner decided to fix his foundation walls first before proceeding with any prevention solutions. We sent an installation team to install PowerBraces which work to enforce the wall and straighten the wall back to normal over time. 

The homeowner was relieved that he called us before the next big rain, and he is happy that his girlfriend and him will have a peace of mind about his foundation walls. Check out the wall straightening solution for this homeowner's foundation wall!

We sent Service Technician Michael Holtz out to Robert’s home. Robert had already braced the crawl space but was ready to finish the job. The crew installed SmartJacks to support the crawl space and the sagging floors. Then also insulated the crawl space with SilverGlo helping the space become energy efficient.
