Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Greenville, WI, a homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement: horizontal cracks running across the concrete block walls, slight inward bowing, and moisture issues following heavy rains. The problem was worsening with the seasons, and it became clear that structural intervention was needed.

Upon inspection, Sure-Dry identified a classic case of bowing basement walls, often caused by soil pressure and hydrostatic forces acting on aging or poorly supported foundation walls. Left unaddressed, this kind of damage can lead to severe foundation failure and costly future repairs.

After: Permanent Stabilization with Geo Lock Wall Anchors

To solve the issue, our team installed a series of Geo Lock Wall Anchors, a proven solution for stabilizing bowing walls. These galvanized steel anchors are embedded into stable soil outside the home and connected to steel wall plates inside the basement. Over time, the system can even be adjusted to help straighten the walls.

The results were immediate and visually striking:

• The walls were stabilized and protected against further bowing.

• Cracks were sealed, improving moisture control.

• The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their foundation was secure.

Why This Matters

Geo Lock Wall Anchors are a long-term, cost-effective solution for bowing wall repair. In Greenville, WI, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement are common, this system offers a powerful defense against structural damage.

To reinforce their bowed basement walls we installed 6 PowerBraces. These braces are made of galvanized steel and will never rust or corrode. Over time they can be adjusted to correct the location of the walls. 

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a basement with sagging floors caused by inadequate structural support beneath the main beams. Over time, floor joists had settled, creating noticeable dips in the living space above and raising concerns about long-term structural integrity.
Inspection confirmed insufficient load-bearing support and soil conditions that allowed continued movement beneath the basement beams.

After
Sure-Dry stabilized and reinforced the basement structure by installing SmartJack® support posts to properly support the main beams and floor joists. The SmartJack system was anchored to engineered footings designed to transfer structural loads to stable soil, allowing controlled lift and permanent support.
The floors above are now stabilized and properly supported, restoring structural confidence and improving the overall safety of the home.

Before: A homeowner in Kewaskum, WI contacted us after noticing a failing block basement wall with visible bowing and horizontal cracking. Over time, pressure from surrounding soil had pushed the wall inward, raising serious structural concerns.

After: Our crew installed the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System to permanently stabilize the wall. The zinc-plated steel I-beams were anchored to the floor joists and tightened to help straighten the wall over time — restoring safety, stability, and peace of mind for the homeowner.
