Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:
In De Pere, WI, a historic lock tender’s home—an important part of the community’s early canal system—was showing signs of severe foundation distress. The century-old stone and block basement walls had begun to bow inward and shift under years of soil pressure and water intrusion. Cracking along mortar joints and wall movement raised concerns about long-term stability and the potential loss of an irreplaceable local landmark.

After:
To permanently reinforce the structure while preserving its historic character, our team installed the EverBrace™ Wall Support System. Heavy-duty steel panels were fitted along the failing walls, anchored to the floor and joist system to create a continuous, load-bearing surface. The voids behind the panels were then filled with specialized foam to fully transfer the load, creating a new structural wall inside the old one without disturbing the exterior masonry.

Now, the historic De Pere lock tender’s house stands secure—its basement walls fully stabilized and its heritage protected for future generations.

Before:
The basement foundation of this De Pere, WI home had experienced significant movement and failure that was allowing water to enter. A previous owner had attempted to cover the problem with a patch, but the patch only hid the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying structural issue.

After:
Sure-Dry addressed the foundation problem using GeoLock® Wall Anchors along with GeoLock® Channel Anchors. The systems provide permanent stabilization for the compromised foundation wall and help prevent further inward movement.

Instead of simply covering the visible damage again, the homeowner now has a solution designed to address the actual foundation failure behind it.
