Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Tigerton, WI had block foundation walls showing signs of inward movement and instability. As pressure builds in the soil outside a foundation, block walls can begin to bow inward and develop horizontal or stair-step cracks. Wisconsin’s changing soil moisture, frost, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to this pressure and make foundation movement worse over time.

After: Sure-Dry used a combination of GeoLock® Wall Anchors and PowerBrace™ supports to permanently stabilize the affected block walls. GeoLock anchors connect the foundation wall to stable soil beyond the home using heavy-duty steel earth anchors, while PowerBrace uses steel beams installed along the interior of the foundation wall. Both systems are designed to stop further inward movement and may provide opportunities to improve the wall’s position over time when conditions allow. The homeowner now has a professionally stabilized foundation with solutions specifically selected for the different conditions throughout the basement.

Before:
In Presque Isle, WI, a detached garage was experiencing noticeable settlement along the front wall, creating uneven gaps at the overhead door and visible rotation in the slab edge. Seasonal moisture changes and inadequate soil bearing caused the foundation to lose support, leading to progressive sinking that risked structural damage and further misalignment.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of Helical Piers to stabilize the failing garage foundation and transfer the load to competent soil. The crew advanced each pier to verified torque depth, then carefully lifted the structure to restore alignment and secure the footing against future settlement. The homeowner now has a stabilized garage with long-term support and confidence that the structure is protected.

This permanent repair leaves the garage level, supported, and ready to stand strong through Wisconsin’s seasonal soil cycles.

In Presque Isle, WI, a homeowner faced a common issue: a settling stone fireplace threatening the stability of their foundation. In the photo, you can notice the tilt and gaps caused by the settlement. Our team at Sure-Dry resolved this by installing our reliable Push Pier System. Engineered to stabilize and potentially elevate a home’s structure, the hydraulically-driven steel pier reached stable bedrock beneath. As shown in the after photo, the foundation is now secured, eliminating further settlement concerns. We're dedicated to restoring safety and confidence in your home's foundation.

Before:
A homeowner in Omro noticed bouncy, uneven floors and doors that wouldn’t latch. In the basement, the main beam had sagged where temporary posts and shims were failing. In the adjacent low-clearance crawl space, wood posts were resting on soil and seasonal moisture had softened the bearing points, leading to more settlement.

After:
We installed SmartJacks® adjustable steel supports on engineered footings throughout the basement and the crawl space, added a supplemental steel beam where needed, and pre-loaded the jacks to restore proper bearing. Each jack is adjustable, allowing fine-tuning over time as the structure stabilizes.

The floors are now solid and level, and the doors operate smoothly—delivering long-term, serviceable support for the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Omro, WI was facing a serious structural concern: their poured concrete foundation walls had developed long, horizontal cracks—an early warning sign of inward bowing and wall failure. These issues can quickly worsen under soil pressure and water infiltration, compromising the safety and value of the home.

After:
To stop the progression and restore stability, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors. These heavy-duty steel anchors are drilled into stable soil away from the home and then connected to interior plates to halt movement and gradually straighten the walls over time. The system immediately stabilized the cracked foundation walls and will protect the structure long-term.

Now, this Omro home has a safe, stable foundation—and the homeowners can move forward with confidence, knowing their investment is protected.
