Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
In Tomahawk, WI, a homeowner noticed significant structural issues in the basement, including a bowing foundation wall and interior support beams beginning to sag. Lincoln County’s moisture-heavy, mixed soil conditions contributed to lateral pressure against the basement wall, while organic material beneath the home weakened the support structure. Symptoms included uneven floors, popping drywall seams, and a horizontal crack along the center of the failing wall. Water intrusion along the perimeter was also present during heavy rains, signaling rising hydrostatic pressure around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the bowing wall and prevent further inward movement. Technicians also installed SmartJack® supports beneath the sagging areas of the floor system, adjusting each to verified load capacity to restore structural integrity. To address the active water intrusion, Sure-Dry added a comprehensive basement water treatment system to manage seepage and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
The home now has stable walls, level floors, and a dry, protected basement—an essential upgrade for properties across Northern Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.

Before:
In Hatley, WI, a homeowner reported significant inward bowing in a basement wall along with horizontal cracking that worsened during wet periods. Marathon County’s clay-rich soils were exerting lateral pressure against the wall, causing measurable displacement and classic symptoms such as wall deflection, mortar-joint separation, and uneven floor-to-wall gaps. At the same time, the basement was taking on water during heavy rain, indicating both structural pressure and hydrostatic water intrusion.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the bowing wall and stop further inward movement. Each anchor rod was driven into stable soil away from the failing wall, tensioned using verified torque measurements, and locked into place to counteract the hillside and soil load. Along with the anchoring system, Sure-Dry installed a full interior basement waterproofing system to manage water seepage and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
Together, these systems now protect the home from both structural movement and water intrusion—critical improvements for properties in Central Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.

Because it's built directly underneath your home, your crawl space plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear this weight through the foundation walls and crawl space support columns.

In many cases, a failing crawl space structure can be resolved by installing crawl space supports.

Here is a before & after example of a SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system we installed at a home in Hatley, WI.  SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.
