Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Our Sure-Dry team installed 8 GeoLocks to the basement walls of a home in Nekoosa, WI.

GeoLocks use the outside, hard, compacted soil to hold the wall in place and keep it from bowing any further. Every so often the GeoLocks can be tightened and over time will pull the wall but to its proper location.

The foundation of this home in Nekoosa, WI had one wall made of fieldstone that was completely deteriorated. The fieldstone wall was bowing in over ten inches with water seeping in every time it rained. The homeowners were certain their only option was total foundation replacement.  

Luckily, Sure-Dry was able to offer these homeowners an alternative to total foundation replacement with their EverBrace Wall Restoration System™.  The EverBrace Wall Restoration System permanently stabilizes the most extreme cases of failing foundation walls.

With EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.

The EverBrace Wall Restoration System is compatible with field stone, clay block and brick foundation walls in addition to poured concrete and concrete block walls. While other solutions may work for the first signs of foundation problems, only the EverBrace can restore a severely compromised foundation wall.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had a poured concrete basement wall with a horizontal crack near mid-height and faint diagonal cracks from the corners. After heavy rains the wall showed slight inward bowing—classic signs of lateral soil pressure—and they wanted a non-invasive solution that wouldn’t require exterior excavation.

After:
We reinforced the wall with the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System—high-strength carbon fiber straps epoxied in vertical runs and locked to the floor system (ArmorLock™ top anchors) for continuous restraint, all installed from the inside with a low-profile finish.

The wall is now stabilized against further inward movement and ready for finishing or paint.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa was getting seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms and dampness wicking through the lower walls. Some sections of the basement couldn’t be trenched due to finishes and utilities, and the aging pump left them uneasy during power flickers.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage where trenching was feasible to intercept groundwater at the cove joint, and used DryTrak® low-profile baseboard drainage along finished/utility walls where we couldn’t cut the slab. Both drains were tied into a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for dependable pumping through outages.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and usable year-round—with reliable protection in heavy rains and power interruptions.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had settlement along the walkway to the front door and at the garage threshold. Toe-stubbing lips formed at panel joints, step heights were uneven at the entry, and the slab in front of the garage dropped enough to leave a gap at the door seal—letting water and road salt creep under the concrete.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled walkway panels and the slab in front of the garage, filling voids and lifting in controlled increments to restore smooth transitions, uniform step heights, and a tight seal at the garage door. Small (penny-size) injection ports were patched for a clean finish.

The approach is now level, safer to use, and pitched to move water away from the home.
