Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Crandon noticed cracking and inward movement along a crawl space foundation wall. Seasonal soil pressure made the wall bow, and the floors above began to feel uneven with occasional sticking doors—clear signs the structure needed stabilization.

After:
We installed the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System inside the crawl space, using zinc-coated steel I-beams anchored at the slab/footing and secured to adjustable brackets at the floor system. This provides immediate stabilization in tight, low-clearance conditions and allows for periodic tightening to help straighten the wall over time.

With PowerBrace, the crawl space wall is stabilized, the floor system above is protected, and the homeowner has confidence in the long-term safety of the home.

A homeowner in Appleton, WI sought our help due to a failing foundation that threatened the stability of their home. In the before photo, you'll observe signs of wall movement, a serious issue for any property owner. Our expert team at Sure-Dry stepped in to install the PowerBrace™ System—a solution specifically designed for stabilizing bowing walls. As seen in the after photo, the zinc-plated steel beams securely anchored, providing stable structural support. This innovation offers ongoing protection, boosting both safety and the lasting value of homes across Wisconsin.

An affordable, quick way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls is with Carbon Armor.

The strong carbon fiber straps are attached to the wall with epoxy and don't protrude from the wall so they can easier be covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels.
