Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The back concrete wall of this garage in Gleason, WI was starting to bow inward, and the homeowner needed a solution to stabilize the wall and restore it to its original position.  

To solve this issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor system.  Wall anchors can repair many bowing wall problems. Soil anchors are placed in the ground outside the home.  Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates.  Wall plates distribute clamping pressure. Tightening nuts on the threaded ends of the rods stabilize the wall for a permanent solution.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI began noticing long horizontal cracks forming along their finished basement walls. The drywall seams were separating, and doors no longer closed smoothly—signs that the foundation walls were bowing inward under exterior soil pressure. With a fully finished lower level, the homeowners wanted a repair that could stop the movement without major excavation or tearing out the interior space.

After:
To permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors behind the finished walls. Small, precise access openings were made to set interior wall plates, while exterior anchors were driven into stable soil beyond the active backfill zone. Once tightened, the system immediately stopped inward movement and provided the capability for future straightening.

Now, this Ripon basement is structurally sound and ready to be refinished—protected by a long-term, serviceable solution that required minimal disruption to their living space.
