Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Major foundation cracks were an issue for this Fence, WI homeowner, creating concerns not only for structural integrity but also for peace of mind. In the before photo, you see significant wall cracks that can lead to more extensive damage if not addressed. Our expert team installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System®, a trusted and proven foundation repair solution. Notice the difference in the after photo. This innovative system stabilizes walls using heavy-duty steel earth anchors connected to steel wall plates, reinforced through galvanized steel rods, protecting the home's foundation from further inward movement.

In Athelstane, WI, a homeowner faced a long-standing foundation problem, clearly seen in the 'before' photo with noticeable bowing walls. Understanding the need for a reliable fix, we stepped in with our PowerBrace system - a steadfast solution visible in the 'after' photo. This innovative approach doesn’t just stop further damage; it offers the potential to straighten over time. Our mission accomplished: providing a noteworthy customer experience and secure, durable solutions for your home's foundation needs.

Our Sure-Dry team installed 20 GeoLocks to these homeowner's bowed walls and over time will strengthen and straighten the walls back to their original location.

Before: 1920s Basement with Serious Structural Issues

This home in Two Rivers, WI has some colorful history—it was once a Prohibition-era speakeasy in the 1920s. But behind the charm, the basement was showing serious signs of structural trouble. The block foundation walls were in stage 3 failure, with bowing, stair-step cracking, and visible movement. On top of that, water intrusion was a constant issue, and moisture was affecting the space year-round.

After: Structurally Sound, Dry & Ready for the Next 100 Years

To save the foundation and waterproof the basement for good, the Sure-Dry team installed a comprehensive solution:

• GeoLock® Wall Anchors, CarbonArmor® wall straps, and PowerBraces™ to stabilize different sections of the block wall depending on the severity of movement

• WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture and redirect incoming water

• A SuperSump® Plus sump pump for reliable water removal

• RimTight® insulation to seal off rim joists and improve energy efficiency

• Our licensed Master Plumber relocated the home’s water heater and pressure tank to allow for system installation and proper layout

Now the basement is dry, secure, and reinforced from every angle—ready to stand strong for another century.

Before:
A homeowner in Kewaunee was living with uneven, sagging floors in their historic stone foundation home. Over time, the original wooden supports had weakened, causing the floors to dip and creak. The homeowner worried about safety, stability, and preserving the character of their old home.

After:
To stabilize the structure, our team installed SmartJack® adjustable steel supports in the crawl space. These galvanized steel jacks are engineered to handle heavy loads and can be tightened over time to help lift sagging floors back toward their original position.

The home is now safer, the floors are level, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the structure is secure without sacrificing the charm of their historic stone foundation.
