Before & After Photos

The block foundation walls of this property in Poy Sippi were cracking along the mortar joints and bowing inward, indicating signs of wall failure.  

To stabilize the walls, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor system.  Sure-Dry's Geo-Lock Wall Anchors will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation.

After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position.

The back concrete wall of this garage in Gleason, WI was starting to bow inward, and the homeowner needed a solution to stabilize the wall and restore it to its original position.  

To solve this issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor system.  Wall anchors can repair many bowing wall problems. Soil anchors are placed in the ground outside the home.  Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates.  Wall plates distribute clamping pressure. Tightening nuts on the threaded ends of the rods stabilize the wall for a permanent solution.

Before:
A homeowner in Gleason noticed their basement walls beginning to bow inward, creating cracks and raising serious concerns about the stability of their foundation. The problem was getting worse over time, and they worried that delaying repairs would lead to more costly structural damage.

After:
Our team installed the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System, a steel I-beam system designed to stabilize and gradually straighten failing foundation walls.

With PowerBrace, the homeowner now has a permanent solution that restores stability, prevents further movement, and gives peace of mind about the long-term safety of their home.

After homeowners in Woodruff, WI tried everything they thought of to keep their basement walls from bowing in any further, alas nothing was working so they decided to cede to the experts.

Because this homeowner's yard space on the side of the home was very limited, we knew GeoLocks wouldn't work, which is why we knew the PowerBraces would be the perfect match for their home! PowerBraces made of galvanized steel, which will not mold or rot, will firmly hold the basement wall in place. 

To know their home's foundation is in good condition now, takes one more thing off their plate! 

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI began noticing long horizontal cracks forming along their finished basement walls. The drywall seams were separating, and doors no longer closed smoothly—signs that the foundation walls were bowing inward under exterior soil pressure. With a fully finished lower level, the homeowners wanted a repair that could stop the movement without major excavation or tearing out the interior space.

After:
To permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors behind the finished walls. Small, precise access openings were made to set interior wall plates, while exterior anchors were driven into stable soil beyond the active backfill zone. Once tightened, the system immediately stopped inward movement and provided the capability for future straightening.

Now, this Ripon basement is structurally sound and ready to be refinished—protected by a long-term, serviceable solution that required minimal disruption to their living space.
