Bowing, Cracking or Collapsing Foundation Walls Before & After Photos

This house in Cedar Grove, WI had multiple issues with their basement.  For one, their foundation walls were cracking and bowing inward due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside.  Second, water was finding its way into the basement between the foundation walls and footing.  With no drainage system in place, this water was pooling on the basement floor.  

In order to stabilize the foundation walls, Sure-Dry installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors system.  Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors is an innovative wall anchor system that will permanently stabilize your foundation walls by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation.

After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position.

To take care of the water issue, Sure-Dry installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.
