Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before
A homeowner in Appleton, WI began noticing signs of foundation failure, including uneven floors and interior doors that were no longer opening and closing properly. These symptoms are common indicators of structural settlement, often caused by weak or shifting soils and inadequate support beneath the home—especially in Wisconsin’s changing seasonal conditions. As the issues progressed, the homeowner searched for a trusted foundation repair company and foundation repair contractor to restore stability.

The root cause was identified as failing support in the crawl space, leading to sagging floor systems above. Uneven floors and sticking doors are key warning signs that additional structural support is needed. Without proper intervention, the problem would continue to worsen, potentially impacting the overall integrity of the home.

After
Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack Structural Support System to stabilize and lift the sagging floor system. This system uses adjustable steel support posts placed on engineered bases to transfer the weight of the home to more stable soil layers below. Installation was completed by certified technicians, carefully restoring support to the weakened areas and addressing the underlying cause of the uneven floors.

With the SmartJack Structural Support System in place, the home is now properly supported and stabilized from below.
The floors are more level, and doors now open and close as intended, restoring functionality and peace of mind for the homeowner.

Before:
A homeowner in Keshena, WI noticed sagging floors and cracks forming along interior walls and door frames. The home’s crawl space had aging supports and shifting soils that no longer provided consistent bearing for the floor system. Seasonal moisture changes and wood deterioration had caused deflection in the beams, leading to uneven floors and growing structural concerns.

After:
To stabilize and support the structure, our team installed our SmartJacks Support System throughout the crawl space. The adjustable system provided immediate reinforcement to the existing girders and a reliable path for future tightening if seasonal movement occurs.

Now, the Keshena home has solid, level floors and dependable support beneath the living space—protecting the structure for years to come.

The best way to try and forget about a problem is to hide it. For homeowners in Menasha, WI their problem couldn't be hidden anymore. Their hanging ceilings had begun to move in due to the walls bowing in that they covered.

To fix the bowing walls, we installed 13 GeoLocks around their basement. GeoLocks will restrict the wall from bowing any farther, while also overtime can be tightened to help pull the wall back. 

Before: Cracked Walls & Water Worries

In Menasha, this homeowner had a severely cracked block wall, with visible stair-step cracks and signs of inward bowing. Alongside the structural issues, the basement had ongoing water seepage problems, especially during heavy rain. The homeowner was ready to fix the wall and get the water under control—for good.

After: Reinforced, Dry & Insulated

Sure-Dry installed a full foundation and waterproofing system to solve both problems at once:

• PowerBraces™ were installed to stabilize and support the cracked foundation wall

• WaterGuard® was added along the interior perimeter to collect and direct groundwater

• A new sump pump system was installed to remove the water quickly and efficiently

• RimTight® insulation was added at the joist spaces to help regulate temperature and moisture

Now the basement is dry, secure, and structurally sound, with peace of mind built in.
