Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Laona noticed several vertical cracks forming along one basement wall. Over time, minor inward bowing began to develop as surrounding soils expanded and pushed against the foundation. Though the movement was limited, the cracks indicated structural stress that could worsen without reinforcement.

After:
The crew installed the CarbonArmor® wall reinforcement system to stabilize the affected wall. Flexible carbon fiber straps were bonded directly to the wall surface with high-strength epoxy, providing exceptional tensile strength without intrusive hardware or excavation.

The system permanently stabilized the wall, preventing further movement and ensuring lasting structural security for the homeowner.

Before: A homeowner in Wrightstown, WI was dealing with a serious foundation settlement issue affecting the corner where their home and garage meet. The foundation was failing as the supporting soil could no longer adequately support the weight of the structure. Without proper repairs, continued settlement could lead to additional structural damage, cracking, and costly repairs.

After: Sure-Dry installed Push Piers to stabilize the failing foundation corner. These engineered steel piers were driven deep beneath the foundation to reach stable, load-bearing soil. Steel brackets connected the pier system to the foundation, transferring the structure's weight away from the unstable upper soil layers. The repair provided lasting structural support and helped prevent further settlement of the home and garage.

Julie & Brad of Wrightstown, WI noticed a crack in one of their basement walls.  After further inspection, they also noticed that the wall was bowing in.  What was causing this? 

Foundation walls move inward primarily due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside. However, foundation walls may also crack due to many other outside causes, including foundation settlement. Our foundation experts will accurately identify the cause of your home's foundation problems.  In Julie and Brad's case, the wet, expansive soil around the home's foundation was pushing on the wall, causing the bowing and cracking.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to restore Julie & Brad's piece of mind with their GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  The Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement.  Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position.

At Sure-Dry Basement Systems we can fix foundation issues related to bowing, buckling basement walls of all types. Our wall anchor systems include a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, as well as a performance warranty from us.

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing severe horizontal cracking and significant inward movement along one of their basement foundation walls. The wall had continued to shift over time, raising concerns about the structural stability of the home and allowing moisture to enter through the growing cracks. Following a detailed inspection, our team documented the wall deflection and determined that the movement was consistent with hydrostatic soil pressure, a common issue in southeastern Wisconsin where expansive soils and repeated freeze-thaw cycles place tremendous stress on foundation walls. The homeowner wanted a permanent foundation repair solution before the damage became more extensive.

After

To permanently stabilize the failing wall, our crew installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System along with steel wall channels to distribute structural loads evenly across the damaged foundation. The wall was carefully measured and the anchors were installed in stable soil outside the home before being connected to the interior steel channels. The system immediately stopped further inward movement and provides the ability for gradual wall straightening over time through future tightening adjustments. The homeowner now has a permanently stabilized foundation wall and renewed confidence that their home is protected against continued structural movement.
