Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Ringle, WI noticed long horizontal cracks forming along the basement walls and slight inward bowing near the midspan. Over time, soil pressure from the exterior had caused movement in the poured concrete walls, leaving visible separation at mortar joints and signs of water intrusion along the base. The homeowner grew concerned about continued structural shifting and potential wall failure.

After:
To stabilize the foundation and prevent further movement, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors along the affected wall sections. Anchors were driven through the wall into stable, undisturbed soil outside the backfill zone and connected to interior steel plates. The system immediately halted wall movement and provides the ability to gradually straighten the walls during scheduled service visits.

Now, this Ringle basement has a secure, stabilized foundation—restoring structural integrity and peace of mind for the homeowner.

To lift sunken floors above, our crew installed SmartJacks to their crawlspace. SmartJacks lift the above floors back to their correct location and can be adjusted at any time. 

In Redgranite, WI, a homeowner was facing a serious issue - a sinking foundation that threatened the structural integrity of their home. You can see in the before photo the visible signs of distress in the foundation. Understanding the urgency, our team sprang into action, employing the Helical Pier system to offer a reliable, lasting solution. Check out the after photo – it shows how we were able to stabilize the foundation, securing the homeowner's peace of mind and the future of their home. Our commitment to remarkable customer experiences and enduring solutions shines through in transformations like these.

Before:
A Minocqua homeowner noticed bouncy, uneven floors and small gaps opening along baseboards. Interior doors had begun to stick, and hairline drywall cracks were appearing. In the crawl space, aging wood posts were bearing on thin pads over soft soil, allowing the floor system to settle.

After:
We installed the SmartJack® adjustable steel support system. Each jack was set on an engineered footing to distribute loads and resist settlement. After adding a supplemental beam where spans required it, we tightened the SmartJacks in controlled increments to bring floors back toward level and eliminate bounce.

The result is a stable first floor and a crawl space with reliable, adjustable support for long-term performance.

Before: Diagonal Cracks & Water Intrusion

This Neenah homeowner was facing two serious issues in their basement: large diagonal cracks forming across the foundation walls, and water leaking in during rains. The cracks were getting worse with time, and every storm brought puddles—making the space unusable and raising concerns about long-term structural damage.

After: Stabilized Walls & a Dry, Protected Basement

Sure-Dry installed a custom system to stop the wall movement and eliminate water problems for good:

• PowerBrace™ wall support system to stabilize and prevent further shifting of the foundation

• WaterGuard® interior drainage to capture and redirect water into the existing sump pump

• CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the walls to seal out moisture and give the basement a clean, finished look

Now the basement is structurally sound, dry, and protected year-round—no more worrying every time it rains.
