Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Green Lake, WI, this home experienced unstable foundation issues, causing noticeable sagging floors and a sagging chimney. Our expert team tackled the problem using our advanced Helical Pier System. These engineered steel piers are precisely installed to reach stable, load-bearing soils, effectively lifting and supporting the foundation as featured in the after photo. Our permanent solution has put reports of foundation instability in the past for this homeowner, ensuring peace of mind and the restoration of their property’s value.

In Berlin, WI homeowners noticed their basement walls were bowing forward. 

Our team came out and installed 9 GeoLocks. These GeoLocks use the hard compacted soil outside to pull/hold the wall in place so no further bowing takes place. 

Before:
A homeowner in Berlin noticed a horizontal crack forming through the middle of a basement wall with sections bowing inward. Seasonal soil pressure and saturated clay soils were worsening the movement, raising concerns about long-term stability and safety.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System, connecting heavy-duty interior wall plates to galvanized earth anchors set in stable soil outside. The system immediately stabilizes the wall and allows for periodic tightening to help straighten it over time—with minimal excavation at each anchor location.

The foundation is now secure against further inward movement, and the homeowner has a proven path to improve wall alignment over the seasons.

In Pine River, WI, a beloved family cabin faced the fright of cracking and inward-moving walls, signaling a weakening foundation that threatened future family gatherings. Before despair set in, we stepped in with our PowerBrace system. As you can see in the photos, we transformed uncertainty into security, ensuring that this precious cabin can continue to host generations of memories. Our commitment was not just to fix the problem but to safeguard a piece of their family legacy through a durable and reliable solution.

Before: Walls That Were Giving Way

A homeowner in Poy Sippi, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing horizontal cracks and inward bowing in their basement wall. Over time, expanding soil pressure and freeze-thaw cycles caused the wall to shift inward more than 2 inches—creating not only a structural hazard, but also anxiety about the safety of their home.

They needed a permanent solution, not a temporary patch.

After: Stabilized and Secured with Channel Anchors

Sure-Dry installed a Geo-Lock Channel Anchor System, designed to permanently stabilize and potentially straighten failing basement walls over time.

Our solution included:

• Galvanized steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil outside the home

• Reinforced steel channels anchored along the bowing wall

• Wall plates and tensioning rods for long-term adjustment

The result?

• Immediate wall stabilization

• A visibly straighter basement wall

• A major increase in property value and peace of mind
