Case Study

How Thrasher Foundation Repair Generated a 22:1 Return

A PGM Home Factors audience program across three Midwest markets delivered nearly $1M in revenue in one 90-day test.

Overview

Thrasher Foundation Repair, a leading foundation repair and waterproofing contractor serving the Midwest, partnered with PGM to run a targeted direct-to-consumer audience program across three key markets. The goal was to identify homeowners most likely to need foundation repair or sump pump services and reach them across multiple channels.

The 90-day test far exceeded expectations and has since expanded across their full-service area.

The Challenge

Foundation repair and waterproofing services have a high average ticket value but a low-awareness purchase cycle. Homeowners rarely seek these services until a problem is visible. Thrasher Foundation Repair needed a way to proactively identify homeowners at elevated risk before competitors did, and reach them through the right mix of channels without wasting spend on unqualified audiences.

The Solution

Home Factors is PGM’s proprietary audience solution built around the physical characteristics, age, and condition of a home, identifying homes most likely to need services before a homeowner starts searching.

For Thrasher Foundation Repair, PGM built a custom Home Factors audience using two key signals:

  • .Homes flagged for foundation repair risk
  • .Homes with sump pump presence

The audience was scoped to heads of household who own single-family dwellings across the three target markets. Each record included name, address, all available email addresses, and all available mobile phone numbers, enabling activation across every direct-to-consumer channel.

Sales were tracked and matched directly back to the Home Factors audience across all three markets, with strong performance confirmed in each geography.
