"Thrasher did a good job on the basement foundation and installation of new sump pump. A little pricey. Workers were prompt, courteous and cleaned up when done."

"We thought we needed foundation work. They not only told us that was incorrect. They directed us to a structural engineer who would be able to help us. No charge. Most appreciated."

"Justin and his team are great. A beautiful family room addition was separating from our house. We brought in the top 3 contractors in the area, and Justin was the only one who got down in the dirt under the deck to take a look at things. They were not the cheapest option but were the ones who aligned with the structural engineer we used for an assessment, and they made me feel comfortable throughout a stressful situation. I will recommend them to anyone I know for foundation work! Great bunch of people!"

"The crew came in the first day and began cutting into the floor around the perimeter of the basement taking care of two separate rooms and the furnace room, which connects to the new basement through a doorway. <br /> As the work progressed the window wells were opened along the side of the basement closest to the driveway and window drains were installed to help control the water flow into the new drainage system. <br /> Next the dual sump-pump system was installed and the provider gave us complete details on how the system would work.  He then asked us for input on how to locate the external drain to the exterior and we showed the installer where we would be installing a new deck and asked that the discharge point would be placed out clear of the overhang of the deck and would follow the edge of the existing concrete pad that would remain under the new deck. <br /> Next the installers brought loads of crushed rock to be used in back filling the interior drain channels along the perimeter of the basement floor.  It was loaded from the driveway through one of the window wells that had previously been opened up along the driveway. <br /> The No-Water-System was placed in the channels and then covered with concrete and smoothed out.  The floor was thoroughly cleaned and swept and then an open drain was installed below the floor level in the doorway connecting the old basement to the new. <br /> This crew was exceptionally courteous and cheerful.  They were a delight to have in our home.  We would recommend Spencer, Randy, and Zach to anyone.  John Peterson was directly involved in the sump-pump installation and also provided the services of sales representative and foreman for the job.  He was thorough, professional, and an absolute dear. <br /> They were all pleasant to be around and did not object to questions or a little light humor and such as the job proceeded. <br /> <br />"

"After having a few negative experiences with contractors, what a surprise to work with a company that seems to do everything well. Albert came out to my house to give an estimate and I was sold almost immediately. Albert told me about my current shingles and that there had been a class action lawsuit. He offered to help me if I wanted to go after the company and then proceeded to tell me that I could probably get by for a couple of years if I wanted to go that route. I was so impressed with his knowledge and honesty that I decided to just pull the trigger and have them replaced. Albert told me that it would take three days. The first day there were 30mph winds so it wasn't safe for the crew to start work. Albert kept me in the loop and said they would start the next day. The job ended up taking two days including cleanup. The crew probably spent 3 hours cleaning up and left the yard looking better than when they arrived. Albert then followed up and spent an hour or so checking on their work and also doing another pass of cleaning up the nails. Replacing a roof is expensive and not an exciting way to spend your money but Action Roofing did a great job and I would highly recommend using them for roofing issues."

FAQs for concrete foundation repair projects in Ames, IA

Visible cracks, water leaks, uneven floors, or walls that won’t line up are classic red flags. You might also notice sticking windows, doors that no longer latch, or exterior cracks crawling up brick or siding. Even a damp, musty basement can hint at trouble. If you spot any of these, call a foundation pro right away. Early inspections cost far less than waiting until the damage threatens your home’s stability.

Yes, foundation problems impact your home’s value. Buyers want proof that the foundation is stable, and a recent, professional repair can actually boost confidence in your home. You’ll need to disclose the work, but documentation showing the structure was properly stabilized, especially with piers in regions known for shifting soil, often reads as a plus, not a problem. Skipping repairs, on the other hand, can cut your sale price and shrink the pool of interested buyers. Taking care of the issue protects both value and peace of mind.

Foundations are engineered for exceptional longevity when constructed correctly and maintained diligently. Concrete slab foundations remain structurally sound for 200 years, while other foundation types deliver integrity between 75 and 100 years. Regular professional inspections and timely maintenance further secure a foundation’s lifespan and ensure your home stays safe over the long term.
