Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
A Minocqua homeowner noticed bouncy, uneven floors and small gaps opening along baseboards. Interior doors had begun to stick, and hairline drywall cracks were appearing. In the crawl space, aging wood posts were bearing on thin pads over soft soil, allowing the floor system to settle.

After:
We installed the SmartJack® adjustable steel support system. Each jack was set on an engineered footing to distribute loads and resist settlement. After adding a supplemental beam where spans required it, we tightened the SmartJacks in controlled increments to bring floors back toward level and eliminate bounce.

The result is a stable first floor and a crawl space with reliable, adjustable support for long-term performance.

Before
A lake home in Minocqua, WI, was experiencing foundation settlement that threatened the long-term stability of the structure. Homes near lakes can encounter challenging soil conditions, including soils affected by changing groundwater levels and moisture, which can contribute to settlement beneath a foundation. The homeowner needed a proven foundation repair solution capable of reaching stable, load-bearing soils below the home.
After
Sure-Dry installed Push Pier Foundation Piering System beneath the affected portions of the lake home's foundation. The steel piers were hydraulically driven through the weaker soils until reaching competent load-bearing material, creating stable support for the structure. The home's weight could then be transferred through the pier system to the stronger soils below.
By addressing the underlying settlement rather than simply repairing visible symptoms, the foundation repair provided permanent stabilization and greater peace of mind for the homeowner.

Before: Diagonal Cracks & Water Intrusion

This Neenah homeowner was facing two serious issues in their basement: large diagonal cracks forming across the foundation walls, and water leaking in during rains. The cracks were getting worse with time, and every storm brought puddles—making the space unusable and raising concerns about long-term structural damage.

After: Stabilized Walls & a Dry, Protected Basement

Sure-Dry installed a custom system to stop the wall movement and eliminate water problems for good:

• PowerBrace™ wall support system to stabilize and prevent further shifting of the foundation

• WaterGuard® interior drainage to capture and redirect water into the existing sump pump

• CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the walls to seal out moisture and give the basement a clean, finished look

Now the basement is structurally sound, dry, and protected year-round—no more worrying every time it rains.
