The rim joists in the Stevens Point, WI home were inadequately sealed and insulated, allowing drafts and moisture to enter the basement. This resulted in uncomfortable temperatures, increased energy bills, and potential moisture-related issues such as mold and mildew growth. Sure-Dry sealed and insulated the rim joists with high-quality spray foam, creating an airtight barrier. This improvement significantly reduced drafts and moisture infiltration, enhancing overall comfort and energy efficiency. The basement now enjoys more stable temperatures, lower energy costs, and reduced risk of moisture-related problems, contributing to a healthier living environment.

Before:
In Stevens Point, WI, a homeowner noticed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with horizontal cracking developing through the center of the block. Pressure from moisture-heavy soils along the exterior caused the wall to shift inward—common symptoms of foundation movement in Portage County, especially where clay-rich soils expand during wet seasons. The displacement grew more noticeable during spring thaw, and concerns increased as the wall began to show measurable inward deflection.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the failing basement wall and counteract the soil pressure responsible for the bowing. Each anchor rod was advanced into stable, undisturbed soils away from the foundation, then tensioned using calibrated torque readings to secure the wall in place. The system now provides long-term lateral support with the ability for future, incremental tightening.
This installation delivers reliable protection against seasonal soil expansion common throughout Central Wisconsin.

Before:
In Stevens Point, WI, a homeowner noticed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with a long horizontal crack forming through the center of the block. As Portage County’s clay-heavy soils absorbed moisture, lateral pressure increased and forced the wall inward—especially during spring thaw. The bowing created noticeable inward deflection, mortar-joint separation, and difficulty closing a nearby interior door, all symptoms of an actively moving foundation wall.

After:
Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the failing wall and halt further inward movement. Each steel beam was precision-positioned, laser-aligned, and anchored at the floor and the sill area, then torque-adjusted to apply corrective pressure. The system now holds the wall secure with the potential for gradual, controlled straightening over time.
This installation provides long-term structural support ideal for Central Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.

Before: A homeowner in Wautoma, WI contacted Sure-Dry after discovering severe bowing and cracking along a basement wall. The wall was gradually shifting inward due to years of soil pressure and moisture buildup, raising structural concerns.

After: Our team installed the GeoLock® Channel Anchor System to permanently stabilize the wall. Anchors were driven into stable soil outside the home and connected to interior steel channels that distribute pressure evenly.

The system halted wall movement and provided the strength needed to restore long-term stability and safety.
