Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A Bryant homeowner noticed horizontal cracks and inward bowing along a basement wall. Doors were sticking, and new stair-step cracks were forming near the corners—clear signs of lateral pressure from soils pushing against the foundation. The homeowner needed a permanent, non-invasive solution before the damage worsened.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to stabilize the failing wall. Galvanized earth anchors were set in stable soil outside and connected to interior steel wall plates with high-strength rods. Once tightened, the system immediately halted movement and provided the ability to make periodic adjustments to help straighten the wall over time.

The basement is now structurally secure with minimal disturbance to the yard and a clean interior finish.

Before:
A Bryant homeowner had several settled concrete slabs (driveway/walkway areas) that created uneven transitions and trip hazards. Low spots collected water after rain, and open joints and cracks allowed more moisture to reach the base—worsening settlement through freeze–thaw cycles.

After:
We lifted and stabilized the affected slabs with PolyLevel®, injecting lightweight polyurethane beneath the concrete to fill voids and restore proper elevation and pitch. After leveling, we routed and cleaned all cracks and control joints and sealed them with NexusPro® to block water intrusion and accommodate seasonal movement.

The surfaces are now even, safer to use, and protected for the long term—without the cost and disruption of tear-out and replacement.

Typical crawl spaces are moldy, foul-smelling spaces that homeowners avoid at all costs. Many of them flood, and they're often filled with debris left over from when the house was constructed. In more extreme cases, they can be rotting structures with rodents, animals, and other pests living within.

At Sure-Dry Basement Systems, it's our job to make sure that your musty crawlspace is transformed into a cleaner, drier, healthier, and more energy-efficient space.

Before: Foundation Walls Showing Advanced Signs of Stress

In Hortonville, WI, a homeowner noticed their basement walls were starting to bow inward and develop horizontal cracks. With each passing season—especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles—the issue worsened. The walls were under pressure from expanding soil outside the home, putting the structure at risk.

They had heard horror stories about full foundation replacement and wanted a solution that would repair the damage without tearing up their yard or interior space.

After: Permanent Stability with the Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System

Sure-Dry installed a Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System designed to:

• Halt inward wall movement immediately

• Restore structural integrity

• Gradually straighten walls over time, if needed

Each anchor system included galvanized steel rods that extended from interior wall plates to stable soil several feet from the foundation. This powerful system not only stabilized the wall—it gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing they had a long-term solution in place.

The basement is now dry, safe, and stable—no more widening cracks or worrying signs of failure.

Before: A Damp, Musty Basement in Need of a Permanent Fix

A homeowner in Hortonville, WI was frustrated with recurring water issues in their basement. After nearly every rainfall, water would seep in where the wall met the floor. The basement smelled musty, the floor was often damp, and stored belongings were constantly at risk.

With no sump pump and no drainage system in place, the moisture was getting worse with time—and traditional patch fixes weren’t working.

After: A Dry, Protected Basement Thanks to Sure-Dry

Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to intercept water at its entry point and direct it safely to a newly installed UltraSump® battery backup sump pump system.

Highlights of the system:

• WaterGuard sits just below the basement floor to collect and redirect water before it reaches the surface.

• UltraSump provides powerful primary pumping capacity with backup power in case of outages.

• The installation was completed quickly and cleanly, with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine.

Now the basement is dry, odor-free, and protected—even during storms or power outages.
