Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
In Mosinee, WI, a homeowner observed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with a horizontal crack forming across the center of the block. Marathon County’s dense, moisture-retentive soils were exerting increasing lateral pressure on the wall—especially during wet seasons and freeze–thaw cycles. The displacement created visible inward deflection, separation along mortar joints, and early signs of structural stress typical of an actively moving foundation wall.

After:
Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the bowing wall and arrest further movement. Each steel beam was laser-aligned, anchored at the floor and the sill plate, and torque-adjusted to apply controlled corrective pressure. The system now secures the wall in place and allows for future tightening as seasonal soil pressure changes.
This solution provides long-term structural reinforcement designed for Central Wisconsin’s expansive, moisture-sensitive soil conditions.

Before: A homeowner in Kronenwetter, WI began noticing signs of structural settlement beneath a home addition, including uneven floors and weakening support in the crawl space area below. Over time, the failing support system caused concerns about the stability of the addition and the long-term condition of the home. Structural settlement like this is common throughout Wisconsin when crawl space supports weaken or shifting soils allow sections of the structure to settle unevenly.
After: Our Sure-Dry team inspected the crawl space beneath the addition and installed the SmartJack Structural Support System to stabilize and help support the failing floor system. SmartJack systems are designed to transfer structural loads to more stable soils below while helping address sagging floors and weakened support areas. Once installed and adjusted, the home addition had improved structural support and greater overall stability for the homeowner moving forward.

Before: A homeowner in Kronenwetter, WI had an existing battery backup sump pump system in place, but after experiencing periods of heavy rainfall and elevated groundwater levels common throughout Central Wisconsin, they wanted additional protection for their basement. While the current system was functioning properly, the homeowner recognized the value of adding redundancy to better prepare for future storms, power outages, and high-water events. Like many homeowners searching for basement waterproofing near me and wet basement repair Wisconsin solutions, they wanted greater confidence that their home would remain protected during severe weather.

After: Following a comprehensive inspection, Sure-Dry recommended installing a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System along with a buried discharge line extension to enhance the home's basement waterproofing system. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection through primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps, while the buried discharge line carries water farther away from the foundation to help reduce soil saturation and groundwater accumulation near the home. These improvements provide reliable protection against heavy rainfall, rising groundwater, and power interruptions often experienced in Wisconsin.
The homeowner now has a more dependable basement waterproofing solution designed to provide long-term protection and peace of mind during future weather events.

The driveway of this home in Montello, WI was sunken and uneven.  Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level the driveway using their patented PolyLevel® Injection Foam System.   PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

Before: Sagging Floors and Bowing Basement Walls

A homeowner in Montello, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing two troubling issues: the floors above their crawl space were bouncy and uneven, and their basement walls were beginning to bow inward with visible cracking. Seasonal soil movement and years of structural stress had taken a toll, putting the home's stability—and value—at risk.

The home needed more than a cosmetic fix. It required structural reinforcement from the ground up.

After: Permanent Stabilization with SmartJack® and PowerBrace™ Systems

Sure-Dry designed and installed a dual-system solution to address both crawl space and wall support:

• SmartJack Support Posts were installed beneath the floor joists to lift and stabilize the sagging areas above the crawl space.

• PowerBrace Wall Reinforcement Beams were anchored along the basement walls to immediately stop inward movement and allow for gradual straightening over time.

The installation was fast, precise, and minimally invasive. The floors were firm and level once again, and the basement walls were stabilized for the long term.
