WaterGuard Drainage System, Vapor Barrier & Sump Pump Installed in Woodruff, WI
Before A homeowner in Woodruff, WI contacted our basement waterproofing company after experiencing water seepage along the basement perimeter and damp conditions in a small crawl space area connected to the foundation. During heavy rain and spring snowmelt, groundwater was entering at the wall-floor joint, creating a wet basement repair concern and increasing humidity levels in the adjoining crawl space. Our basement waterproofing contractor identified hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab and moisture migration into the crawl space due to exposed soil and lack of vapor protection.
After Our team installed the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface. Collected water was directed to a newly installed SuperSump® Sump Pump System to efficiently discharge water away from the foundation. In the small crawl space area, we installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to seal exposed earth and prevent moisture vapor from entering the basement environment.
The basement and adjoining crawl space are now protected with a controlled basement waterproofing system designed for long-term performance in Woodruff, WI.
Failing, Cracked Block Wall Foundation Repaired & Stabilized in Woodruff, WI
Before
The homeowner in Woodruff, WI noticed stairstep cracks forming along a block foundation wall and became increasingly concerned when sections of the wall began showing signs of movement. These warning signs are commonly associated with foundation settlement and lateral soil pressure, which can place significant stress on masonry foundation walls over time. Wanting to prevent further structural damage, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted foundation repair company serving Northern Wisconsin.
During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated the foundation wall and confirmed that exterior soil pressure was contributing to the cracking and displacement. If left uncorrected, the movement could continue to worsen, resulting in additional structural concerns and more extensive foundation repair needs in the future.
After
To stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, Sure-Dry installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. This proven foundation repair solution uses steel earth anchors installed in stable soil away from the home and connected to heavy-duty steel wall plates inside the basement. Once tensioned, the system helps counteract lateral soil pressure and provides long-term stabilization for the affected wall.
After the installation was complete, our crew restored the disturbed exterior areas and re-seeded the lawn to help return the property to its original condition. The homeowner now has a stabilized foundation wall and added peace of mind knowing their home is protected by a reliable foundation repair solution designed to withstand Wisconsin's challenging soil and weather conditions.

Heating Up Crawlspaces in Ripon, WI
Homeowners in Berlin WI, have had trouble heating their home and they couldn't find where the problem was coming from so they decided to have a look at their crawlspace, considering they haven't checked it out in awhile. They immediately felt a very cold draft in there and needed to resolve the problem. So they called experts at Sure-Dry to see if there was a solution to their cold crawlspace and we did!

Our SilverGlo is a foam insulator and within the foam there are tiny particles that will absorb any heat and will push it back into the crawlspace.

Basement Foundation Repaired In Ripon, WI
Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI began noticing long horizontal cracks forming along their finished basement walls. The drywall seams were separating, and doors no longer closed smoothly—signs that the foundation walls were bowing inward under exterior soil pressure. With a fully finished lower level, the homeowners wanted a repair that could stop the movement without major excavation or tearing out the interior space.
After:
To permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors behind the finished walls. Small, precise access openings were made to set interior wall plates, while exterior anchors were driven into stable soil beyond the active backfill zone. Once tightened, the system immediately stopped inward movement and provided the capability for future straightening.
Now, this Ripon basement is structurally sound and ready to be refinished—protected by a long-term, serviceable solution that required minimal disruption to their living space.
