Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

Before tackling the challenge of unstable walls in this White Lake home, as clearly visible in the photo, peace of mind for our homeowner was slipping away. But worry turned into relief with our expert installation of the GeoLock Wall Anchor system. Notice how the after photo showcases not just a stabilized structure, but also encapsulates the essence of our mission: providing a lasting solution and a remarkable service experience. Our approach is always about restoring safety and trust, one home at a time.

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI began noticing visible horizontal cracking and inward bowing along multiple basement walls. The movement had worsened after heavy rains, and parts of the finished basement showed drywall separation and uneven floors above. With signs of both lateral and vertical shifting, the foundation required a structural repair plan capable of addressing different failure modes.

After:
To stabilize and reinforce the structure, our team installed a combination of GeoLock® Wall Anchors and PowerBrace™ Support Beams. GeoLocks were used where exterior access allowed anchor installation into stable soil beyond the backfill zone, immediately halting wall movement and enabling future tightening. In tighter areas with no dig access, PowerBraces were mounted floor-to-joist—providing strong interior-only stabilization.

Now, the Combined Locks home has a fully supported foundation with a plan for gradual realignment and long-term protection against soil pressure and structural movement.

Before, a Sherwood homeowner faced the unnerving sight of severe horizontal cracks and bowing walls in their basement, visible evidence of a foundation under stress. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the after photo shines a bright light on a stable, reinstated foundation, courtesy of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. As you can see, beyond fixing the structure, we've also installed a dependable WaterGuard system, effectively channeling water into the existing sump pump, ensuring peace of mind during even the heaviest of rains.
