Failing Garage Foundation Lifted with Push Piers in Ripon, WI
Before
The rear of this garage in Ripon, WI had begun settling after years of soil washout behind the foundation. As supporting soils eroded away, the foundation lost critical support, causing the garage to sink and creating serious concerns about the structure's stability. The homeowner noticed significant settlement and feared the garage could eventually suffer catastrophic structural failure if the problem continued. Following a detailed inspection, our foundation repair contractor recommended permanently stabilizing the structure with Push Pier Foundation Support Systems. Push piers are designed to transfer the weight of a structure through weak, unstable soils to competent load-bearing strata deep below the surface, providing a permanent foundation repair solution.
After
Our crew excavated around the affected section of the garage foundation and installed Push Pier Foundation Support Systems at engineered locations beneath the footing. During installation, hydraulic pressures were carefully monitored to verify each pier reached competent bearing capacity before the foundation was stabilized. Where conditions allowed, controlled lifting helped recover some of the settlement while restoring critical structural support to the garage. By transferring the weight of the garage onto stable soils unaffected by erosion, the homeowner now has a permanent solution that protects the structure from continued settlement and provides peace of mind for years to come.

Failing Block Foundation Repaired, Stabilized & Waterproofed in Ripon, WI
Before
For several years, this Ripon, WI homeowner had Sure-Dry periodically inspect their basement as horizontal wall cracks and bowing foundation walls slowly became more pronounced. Although the damage was initially minor, each inspection documented additional movement as Wisconsin's expansive soils and freeze-thaw cycles continued to place pressure against the foundation. Eventually, the wall movement reached a point where permanent repairs were necessary. At the same time, the homeowner wanted to eliminate recurring water seepage along the cove joint before it caused further damage. To permanently stabilize the foundation and waterproof the basement, Sure-Dry recommended installing the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System along with the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System.
After
Our crew first installed the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System, carefully positioning each galvanized steel beam against the affected foundation wall and securing it to the floor and floor framing above. Wall deflection measurements were recorded during installation, allowing the system to immediately stabilize the wall while providing the opportunity for gradual straightening during future annual service appointments. To address the water intrusion, the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System was installed around the affected basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the basement floor. Water is then directed into the new TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three levels of pumping protection for dependable performance during heavy rains, high groundwater conditions, and power outages. The homeowner now has a permanently stabilized foundation and a comprehensive waterproofing system designed to protect their home for years to come.

Failing Foundation and Water Intrusion Repair in Burnett, WI
Before
The basement in this Burnett, WI home experienced recurring water intrusion along the foundation perimeter along with visible wall cracking caused by lateral soil pressure. Water was entering at the wall-to-floor joint during heavy rain and snowmelt, while horizontal cracking raised concerns about long-term foundation wall stability. These conditions indicated the need for both basement waterproofing and foundation wall repair to prevent further damage.
After
Sure-Dry stabilized the foundation walls using CarbonArmor®, a low-profile carbon fiber reinforcement system designed to permanently stop wall movement without invasive excavation.
