Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Bryant, WI, a homeowner faced foundation troubles with block walls in their crawl space failing—resulting in cracks and settling in the house above, making doors and windows stick. Our team at Sure-Dry swiftly responded by installing our GeoLock Wall Anchor system. As you can see in the photos, this solution not only stabilized their home's foundation but also revived the functionality of doors and windows in the home above, ensuring peace of mind and a secure, lasting fix.

Before:
A Bryant homeowner noticed horizontal cracks and inward bowing along a basement wall. Doors were sticking, and new stair-step cracks were forming near the corners—clear signs of lateral pressure from soils pushing against the foundation. The homeowner needed a permanent, non-invasive solution before the damage worsened.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to stabilize the failing wall. Galvanized earth anchors were set in stable soil outside and connected to interior steel wall plates with high-strength rods. Once tightened, the system immediately halted movement and provided the ability to make periodic adjustments to help straighten the wall over time.

The basement is now structurally secure with minimal disturbance to the yard and a clean interior finish.

Before: Foundation Walls Showing Advanced Signs of Stress

In Hortonville, WI, a homeowner noticed their basement walls were starting to bow inward and develop horizontal cracks. With each passing season—especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles—the issue worsened. The walls were under pressure from expanding soil outside the home, putting the structure at risk.

They had heard horror stories about full foundation replacement and wanted a solution that would repair the damage without tearing up their yard or interior space.

After: Permanent Stability with the Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System

Sure-Dry installed a Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System designed to:

• Halt inward wall movement immediately

• Restore structural integrity

• Gradually straighten walls over time, if needed

Each anchor system included galvanized steel rods that extended from interior wall plates to stable soil several feet from the foundation. This powerful system not only stabilized the wall—it gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing they had a long-term solution in place.

The basement is now dry, safe, and stable—no more widening cracks or worrying signs of failure.
