Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Stabilizing Cracked, Bowing Block Walls with PowerBraces™

Before: Wall Cracks Getting Worse—and So Was the Water

This Wausau homeowner had been watching their block foundation walls develop severe stairstep cracks for a while, but recently, things took a turn. As the wall continued to crack and shift inward, water began seeping through, and mold started forming in the damp corners of the basement. They knew they needed to act fast—before structural issues or water damage got worse.

After: Foundation Stabilized and Protected with PowerBraces™

We installed a series of PowerBrace™ Wall Stabilization Systems, engineered to halt inward wall movement and keep the structure from getting worse. The fully adjustable braces can even be tightened over time to potentially reverse wall deflection.

By addressing the cracking and movement, we also helped eliminate one of the primary sources of water intrusion—protecting the basement from future leaks and mold growth.

Before

This Merrill, WI home was experiencing major floor issues, with noticeable sagging and movement caused by inadequate support from below. The basement needed more than just one additional support point—the floor system required stabilization across multiple areas to properly support the structure above.

After

Sure-Dry installed multiple SmartJack® Support Posts throughout the basement. The SmartJack system provides strong, adjustable support beneath the home's beams and floor joists, helping stabilize the sagging floor system and providing a more dependable support structure for the home above.

Before

This Merrill, WI home had a poured concrete foundation wall showing signs of movement and cracking. Foundation wall problems can worsen over time as pressure from the surrounding soils continues to push against the foundation, making stabilization important before additional movement occurs.

After

Sure-Dry installed CarbonArmor® to stabilize and reinforce the poured concrete foundation wall. The strong carbon-fiber straps are bonded directly to the wall to help prevent further inward movement without the need for bulky steel beams.

CarbonArmor has a low-profile design that takes up very little basement space while providing permanent reinforcement for the affected foundation wall.
