Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Our customer is a firm believer in leaving a home in a better place than what she found it in. She takes a lot of pride in her home! We noticed that in the basement the main beam was sagging aggressively towards the middle of the home. The home is pre-1920 and needed additional support throughout the whole main beam. In order to fix the problem, we presented the SmartJack XT to our customer. We explained to her that this is a long-term solution that will create instant results for her home.

Water was getting under the stoop due to a gap in the concrete and there is a tripping hazard on the sidewalk leading to the stoop. This customer knew If water continued to seep under the stoop, it could lead to more settling problems with the stoop and nearby concrete. To fix these issues for our customer, we usedPolylevel and NexusPro. These helped us seal the gaps and lift the concrete to its original position, 

This homeowner likes to keep her house nice and remain proactive about potential problems. A couple of her concrete slabs near the garage were starting to settle and there were strong signs of street creep. There were vertical cracks forming in their garage and that pressure was about to reach the foundation wall which would cause serious damage. After we lifted and leveled the slabs, we installed a CompressionGuard, as seen in the "After" photo, to prevent any additional damage caused by street creep. 

There was a big gap between the driveway and home and our customer was concerned water was getting in there. He does not want water going down the side of the foundation wall. To help, Thrasher Foundation Repair cleaned the wall gap out, put a backer rod in the gap, and sealed it with NexusPro to ensure water wouldn’t seep in anymore. 

This project consisted of multiple parts, including fixing a settlement issue that will be fixed in a few weeks. The homeowner also wanted to install water infiltration through the walls and improve the home's energy efficiency by adding insulation. We installed rim joist insulation to boost the energy efficiency in her home. We also implemented a vapor barrier to protect the walls from water and moisture, which gave our customer peace of mind.
