Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before: Water Seepage & Growing Wall Cracks

In Appleton, WI, this homeowner had been battling basement water for years—resorting to wet vacs after every heavy rain just to keep up. But recently, they noticed something even more concerning: cracks in their poured concrete foundation walls were getting worse. The basement wasn’t just damp—it was becoming structurally unstable.

With signs of long-term moisture intrusion and wall movement, they knew it was time to get things stabilized and fixed before the damage escalated.

After: Stabilized Foundation and a Dry, Protected Basement

Sure-Dry installed a comprehensive system to handle both the structural and water problems at the same time.

What We Installed:

• PowerBrace™ Wall Reinforcement System to stabilize the cracked poured foundation walls and stop further inward movement

• WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to capture water at the base of the walls and prevent pooling

• A new sump pump system for dependable water removal during rain and snowmelt

Now, the basement is dry, structurally stable, and worry-free. The PowerBraces give long-term support to the foundation, while WaterGuard and the sump pump keep moisture under control—eliminating the need for wet vacs and reducing stress during every storm.

The best way to try and forget about a problem is to hide it. For homeowners in Menasha, WI their problem couldn't be hidden anymore. Their hanging ceilings had begun to move in due to the walls bowing in that they covered.

To fix the bowing walls, we installed 13 GeoLocks around their basement. GeoLocks will restrict the wall from bowing any farther, while also overtime can be tightened to help pull the wall back. 

Before: Cracked Walls & Water Worries

In Menasha, this homeowner had a severely cracked block wall, with visible stair-step cracks and signs of inward bowing. Alongside the structural issues, the basement had ongoing water seepage problems, especially during heavy rain. The homeowner was ready to fix the wall and get the water under control—for good.

After: Reinforced, Dry & Insulated

Sure-Dry installed a full foundation and waterproofing system to solve both problems at once:

• PowerBraces™ were installed to stabilize and support the cracked foundation wall

• WaterGuard® was added along the interior perimeter to collect and direct groundwater

• A new sump pump system was installed to remove the water quickly and efficiently

• RimTight® insulation was added at the joist spaces to help regulate temperature and moisture

Now the basement is dry, secure, and structurally sound, with peace of mind built in.
