Concrete Step Repair in Des Moines, IA

We recently had the opportunity to help Jan with her sunken concrete steps.  We were able to restore her steps to their original position and stability with Polylevel.  This happens by injecting polyurethane foam beneath the concrete through tiny ports, no larger than a penny. It starts off flowing like water, so it fills even the tiniest spots in the soil. As the foam expands and hardens, it lifts the slab and compresses the surrounding soil. Thanks to the fast drying time of PolyLevel, Jan was able to use her steps on the same day. At Midwest, we are committed to delivering high-quality foundation repair services that exceed our customers' expectations.

Concrete Repair in Polk City, IA

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. 

Street Creep Causes Crumbling Foundation in Urbandale, IA

This homeowner was concerned with their crawlspace foundation wall, which was gradually tipping in from the top due to street creep pushing the garage slab into the back foundation wall. This situation created many risks, including potential harm to the structural integrity of the garage and the homeowner's peace of mind. To solve this problem, we installed wall anchors to ensure their stability and prevent any further deterioration of the walls. Additionally, we installed CompressionGuards to reduce the damage caused by street creep and stop any future issues. Our approach ensured that the homeowner could rest easy, knowing their garage was secure and their house's resale value would not be compromised.
