Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

With their homes future in good hands, these homeowners can continue to live a long, happy life in the home of their dreams!

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing increasing horizontal cracking and inward bowing along their basement wall. Seasonal clay expansion and freeze-thaw pressures common throughout Outagamie County had pushed the wall out of alignment, leaving visible deflection and moisture staining at several points. Measurements taken during inspection confirmed progressive movement, with the wall bowing more than one inch in key locations—indicating the need for structural stabilization.

After:
To restore stability, the crew installed PowerBrace™ beams along the failing wall to provide immediate support and long-term tightening potential. In addition, exterior soil conditions allowed for the installation of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to counteract outward pressure and gradually return the wall toward a straighter position. Together, these systems created a reinforced structure capable of withstanding seasonal ground movement.
The homeowner now has a supported, stabilized basement wall with reduced movement and a safer foundation for years to come.

Before
A homeowner in Appleton, WI was experiencing signs of failing foundation support, including sagging and uneven floors throughout the home. These issues are often caused by weakened or shifting supports in the crawl space, a common problem in Wisconsin due to fluctuating moisture levels and soil conditions. As the floors continued to dip, the homeowner became concerned about the structural integrity of the home and began searching for a reliable foundation repair company and crawl space repair contractor in Wisconsin.

The underlying problem was a lack of adequate support beneath the home, allowing the floor system to settle over time. Without proper reinforcement, the failing foundation support would continue to worsen, leading to increased structural stress, more noticeable floor unevenness, and potential long-term damage.

After
Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack Structural Support System to address the failing foundation support and restore stability to the home. These adjustable steel support posts were strategically placed beneath the floor joists and set on engineered bases to transfer the load to stable soil below. The installation was completed by trained specialists to ensure precise stabilization and long-term performance in Wisconsin soil conditions.

With the SmartJack Structural Support System in place, the home is now properly supported and structurally stabilized.
The floors feel level and secure again, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in the safety and performance of their home.
