Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before: A Failing Crawl Space and Uneven Floors

In Oostburg, WI, a homeowner reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing their main floor was sloping and creaking underfoot. Over the years, their crawl space had developed excessive moisture, which led to weakened, rotting support beams and floor joists. The result was not just uneven floors—but structural instability that would only worsen with time.

They had tried temporary shims and support posts in the past, but nothing held up. It was clear that they needed a permanent solution that addressed the real problem underneath the home.

After: Permanent Support with the SmartJack System

Sure-Dry installed a SmartJack Support System in the crawl space, engineered specifically to lift and stabilize sagging floors above.

The system included:

• Custom-cut galvanized steel support columns

• Precast concrete footings for load distribution

• Precision adjustments for floor re-leveling

• Corrosion-resistant materials ideal for damp crawl spaces

After installation, the floors were noticeably more level, solid underfoot, and no longer creaked or sagged. The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing that their home now had reliable structural support for years to come.

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI began noticing significant movement in their block foundation walls, including stair-step cracking and inward bowing—clear warning signs that often lead homeowners to search for foundation repair Wisconsin or bowing wall repair Wisconsin solutions. Over time, pressure from saturated soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles in Sheboygan County had caused the walls to weaken and shift, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.
As the movement progressed, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about potential failure and the safety of the home. Like many block foundations in Wisconsin, the porous nature of the material combined with expanding soils created ongoing stress against the walls. Without reinforcement, the condition would continue to worsen, making early intervention critical.

After
To stabilize the failing walls, Sure-Dry installed a combination of the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System and the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. The PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System was used on interior walls where floor framing allowed for secure attachment, providing immediate stabilization and the opportunity for gradual wall straightening over time.
In areas where exterior access allowed, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed by embedding steel earth anchors into stable soil beyond the foundation and connecting them to wall plates inside the basement. This system counteracts external pressure and helps pull the walls back toward their original position.
The homeowner now has a permanently stabilized foundation, restoring structural integrity and providing long-term peace of mind.

Before
The brick foundation in this Sheboygan, WI home was showing signs of structural failure, including cracking mortar joints, inward wall movement, and visible separation along the basement walls. Decades of lateral soil pressure and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles had weakened the original masonry, leaving the structure vulnerable to continued deterioration. The homeowner began searching for foundation repair near me after noticing worsening wall instability and concerns about long-term safety.
These conditions indicated the need for professional foundation repair Wisconsin service from an experienced foundation repair contractor capable of stabilizing a failing masonry foundation without full replacement.

After
Sure-Dry stabilized the failing brick foundation using our EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System, a structural wall restoration system designed to permanently reinforce severely compromised walls. Steel corrugated panels were installed against the interior wall surface and secured to engineered brackets, transferring structural loads away from the weakened masonry.
The foundation is now permanently stabilized, preventing further inward movement and restoring long-term structural integrity with a proven foundation repair company solution.
