Bowing, Cracking or Collapsing Foundation Walls Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Menasha, WI after purchasing their new home, found out that the previous owner had covered up bowed foundation walls. 

To resolve the problem, our team installed 6 GeoLocks on the foundation wall. These locks latch on to the hard compacted soil outside of the home. It then uses that compaction to pull the wall back to its upright position. 

These homeowners were furious that they had to deal with these problems but after our team stepped in and helped, they couldn't be happier with the results.

As you can see, the structure now stands strong and stable, confidently backed by our commitment to lasting solutions and exceptional customer experiences.

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.

The block foundation walls of this home in Green Bay, WI were cracked and bowing inward due hydrostatic pressure - pressure from the water in the soil surrounding the home's foundation.  

To fix the issue, Sure-Dry installed their PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

If you have walls that are bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards, installing a PowerBrace system can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall.
