Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Arpin, WI, a collapsing retaining wall posed a major concern, as shown in the before photo. This threat to both structural integrity and property value needed immediate attention. We addressed the problem by installing our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, illustrated in the after photo. This innovative system stabilizes foundation walls, preventing inward movement and maintaining permanent protection. With the use of heavy-duty steel earth anchors and steel wall plates, our team provided a reliable solution, securing the homeowner's peace of mind and establishing lasting stability.

Before:
A homeowner in Spencer had a block basement wall showing stair-step cracking and slight inward bowing. After storms, water appeared along the wall–floor (cove) joint and moisture wicked through the lower walls, leaving a musty odor and worry about an aging sump pump keeping up.

After:
We stabilized the failing wall with the PowerBrace™ I-beam system, installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage to capture seepage at the cove joint, finished the walls with the CleanSpace® liner to block vapor and direct wall moisture into the drain, and upgraded pumping to a TripleSafe® sump system with primary, secondary, and battery-backup pumps under a sealed lid with alarm.

Now the basement is structurally secure, clean, and dry—with dependable protection during heavy rains and power outages.

Before:
In Marshfield, WI, an attached garage built into a side hill was experiencing inward wall movement along the downhill side. The homeowner noticed widening horizontal cracking, stair-step fractures near the corners, and soil pressure pushing the wall inward—common symptoms of lateral foundation stress, especially where hillside soils become saturated. Built on the rolling terrain of Wood County, the garage wall was taking on increasing force as seasonal moisture cycles and clay-rich soils expanded and pressed against the structure.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the bowing wall and counteract the hillside pressure. Technicians advanced each anchor rod into competent, undisturbed soil away from the slope, verified alignment with precision laser measurements, and tensioned the system to arrest ongoing movement. The wall is now permanently supported, with the option for gradual corrective tightening over time.
This repair provides long-term stability for hillside-built structures throughout Central Wisconsin’s moisture-sensitive soils.
