In Long Lake, WI, a homeowner was faced with large vertical cracks and bowing foundation walls, a problem far too common but highly distressing. As you can see in the before photo, the severity of this issue threatened the integrity and safety of their home. We stepped in with a tailored solution, installing our dependable GeoLock Wall Anchor system. The after photo proudly showcases the significant improvements and stabilization we achieved. Through our expertise, we not only restored safety but also peace of mind, delivering on our mission to provide a remarkable experience and a lasting solution.

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.

This block wall foundation was suffering from stair-step cracks and was starting to bow inward. To fix this issue and ensure it didn't get any worse, Sure-Dry installed a CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the walls. 

The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. Using the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers developed to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers, and bridges, we use CarbonArmor® to stabilize your basement walls.

The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. The straps will stabilize the wall. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.
