Structural Foundation Repair In De Pere, WI

Before:
In De Pere, WI, a historic lock tender’s home—an important part of the community’s early canal system—was showing signs of severe foundation distress. The century-old stone and block basement walls had begun to bow inward and shift under years of soil pressure and water intrusion. Cracking along mortar joints and wall movement raised concerns about long-term stability and the potential loss of an irreplaceable local landmark.

After:
To permanently reinforce the structure while preserving its historic character, our team installed the EverBrace™ Wall Support System. Heavy-duty steel panels were fitted along the failing walls, anchored to the floor and joist system to create a continuous, load-bearing surface. The voids behind the panels were then filled with specialized foam to fully transfer the load, creating a new structural wall inside the old one without disturbing the exterior masonry.

Now, the historic De Pere lock tender’s house stands secure—its basement walls fully stabilized and its heritage protected for future generations.
