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.

Before:
A homeowner in Keshena, WI noticed sagging floors and cracks forming along interior walls and door frames. The home’s crawl space had aging supports and shifting soils that no longer provided consistent bearing for the floor system. Seasonal moisture changes and wood deterioration had caused deflection in the beams, leading to uneven floors and growing structural concerns.

After:
To stabilize and support the structure, our team installed our SmartJacks Support System throughout the crawl space. The adjustable system provided immediate reinforcement to the existing girders and a reliable path for future tightening if seasonal movement occurs.

Now, the Keshena home has solid, level floors and dependable support beneath the living space—protecting the structure for years to come.

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.
