Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
In Rhinelander, WI, a home built on a former city lot was showing significant settlement as buried debris and uncompacted fill beneath the foundation began to break down. The homeowner reported sloping floors, widening cracks above doorways, and a noticeable drop along the perimeter wall—classic symptoms of differential settlement caused by weak, inconsistent soils. The structure continued to sink unevenly as seasonal moisture cycles shifted the unstable material below.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of Push Piers to transfer the home’s load past the buried debris and down to stable, load-bearing strata. Each pier was hydraulically driven to refusal pressure, verified by monitored load readings to confirm adequate bearing capacity. Once proper depth and resistance were achieved, the crew performed a controlled lift to recover lost elevation and stabilize the foundation.
The home is now fully supported against future movement—an essential solution for properties across Oneida County where older infill lots often hide deep, unstable debris layers.

In the heart of Rhinelander, WI, a homeowner faced the unsettling signs of a failing foundation: cracked walls and uneven floors sending shivers down their spine. Feeling anxious about the safety and stability of their home, they turned to Sure-Dry for guidance and assurance.

From the moment they contacted us, our dedicated Customer Care Specialist was there to listen and schedule their inspection appointment promptly. At their home, our System Design Specialist conducted a comprehensive assessment, identifying foundation settlement as the root cause of their distress. With sincerity and expertise, we walked the homeowner through our suggested solution: the installation of our Helical Pier System.

As our experienced production team arrived on site, they were met with a mix of tension and cautious hope from the homeowner. With a careful and measured approach, the team began the installation of engineered steel piers. Starting near the foundation, they thoughtfully “screwed” the piers deep into the earth, adding sections until stable, weight-bearing soils were reached. This expertly executed process rechanneled the home’s weight onto secure ground, ensuring lasting stability and resilience against future settlement.

By the time our team meticulously cleaned up and said their goodbyes, the transformation was incredible. Not only was the homeowner's foundation stabilized, but they found renewed confidence and peace of mind—a restoration as profound as any seen by Dutch masters. They witnessed firsthand why our trusted solutions and heart-first service makes a real difference.
