Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had serious structural concerns beneath the living space. The crawl space had a very poor foundation, and the existing floor support system was no longer providing the dependable support the home needed.

When crawl space foundations and supports deteriorate or shift, beams and floor joists can begin to sag. Homeowners may notice uneven or sloping floors, soft areas underfoot, gaps between floors and walls, or other signs of movement inside the home.

After

Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® crawl space support posts to provide additional stabilization beneath the home's floor system.

The adjustable steel supports were strategically positioned beneath the beams to help transfer the weight of the floor system to stable support points below. This provides a much more dependable solution than relying on deteriorating, undersized, or improvised supports commonly found in older crawl spaces.

While SmartJacks do not rebuild the existing foundation itself, they provide engineered structural support where the floor system needs it, helping stabilize sagging and uneven floors above.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI homeowner was dealing with water entering the basement and needed a dependable solution to keep the space dry. Water can enter along the basement wall-floor joint as groundwater builds pressure around the foundation, particularly during heavy rain and spring snowmelt.

Without an effective interior drainage and sump pump system, that water can spread across the basement floor and lead to damp conditions, musty odors, damaged belongings, and concerns about future basement flooding.

After

Sure-Dry installed WaterGuard® around the basement perimeter to intercept water entering along the foundation and wall-floor joint. The interior drainage system directs collected water toward a new SuperSump® sump pump system, where it can be pumped safely away from the home.

A battery backup sump pump was also installed to provide additional protection if the primary pump cannot operate during a power outage—an especially important safeguard when severe Wisconsin storms bring heavy rain and power interruptions at the same time.

Instead of simply cleaning up water after it enters the basement, this waterproofing system provides a dedicated path to collect, manage, and remove it.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI homeowner had a basement foundation wall showing signs of inward movement and needed a way to stabilize the wall before the problem became more severe.

Foundation walls can experience significant pressure from the surrounding soil. Saturated ground, poor drainage, expanding soils, and Wisconsin's repeated freeze-thaw cycles can increase lateral pressure against a basement wall. Over time, homeowners may notice horizontal cracks, stair-step cracking, or sections of the foundation wall beginning to bow inward.

After

Sure-Dry stabilized the affected foundation wall using CarbonArmor® wall reinforcement. CarbonArmor straps are made with high-strength carbon fiber and are bonded directly to the foundation wall to help resist further inward movement.

Because the system has a low-profile design, it provides foundation wall stabilization without installing large steel beams throughout the basement. Once installed, the straps remain tight against the wall and can be finished over if the homeowner chooses to remodel the basement in the future.

By addressing the structural movement rather than simply covering the visible foundation cracks, Sure-Dry provided this homeowner with a permanent wall stabilization solution designed to protect the basement foundation from additional inward movement.

We received a call from homeowners in Wisconsin Rapids, WI about their basement walls bowing in and cracking. 

To fix this problem, the crew installed 4 GeoLocks to their basement walls. The GeoLocks work by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside of their home. Over time, the threaded rods will work to pull the wall back to their original location.  

With the structure of their home in good hands, these homeowners are at peace of mind. 

With occasional water issues happening, we installed the SuperSump pump to this homeowners basement. This sump pump was the best fit for their needs. It can discharge 2,200 gallons of water per hour and best yet will keep their basement dry!
