Failing Foundation Repaired in Rhinelander, WI

Before:
In Rhinelander, WI, a home built on a former city lot was showing significant settlement as buried debris and uncompacted fill beneath the foundation began to break down. The homeowner reported sloping floors, widening cracks above doorways, and a noticeable drop along the perimeter wall—classic symptoms of differential settlement caused by weak, inconsistent soils. The structure continued to sink unevenly as seasonal moisture cycles shifted the unstable material below.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of Push Piers to transfer the home’s load past the buried debris and down to stable, load-bearing strata. Each pier was hydraulically driven to refusal pressure, verified by monitored load readings to confirm adequate bearing capacity. Once proper depth and resistance were achieved, the crew performed a controlled lift to recover lost elevation and stabilize the foundation.
The home is now fully supported against future movement—an essential solution for properties across Oneida County where older infill lots often hide deep, unstable debris layers.
