This house in Cedar Grove, WI had multiple issues with their basement.  For one, their foundation walls were cracking and bowing inward due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside.  Second, water was finding its way into the basement between the foundation walls and footing.  With no drainage system in place, this water was pooling on the basement floor.  

In order to stabilize the foundation walls, Sure-Dry installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors system.  Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors is an innovative wall anchor system that will permanently stabilize your foundation walls 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.

To take care of the water issue, Sure-Dry installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI began noticing signs of a failing poured concrete foundation, including inward wall movement and visible cracking—common indicators that often lead homeowners to search for foundation repair Wisconsin or bowing wall repair Wisconsin solutions. At the same time, water intrusion had become an ongoing issue in the basement, especially during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, contributing to a wet basement repair Wisconsin concern. Without a proper interior drainage system, water would collect along the perimeter, increasing hydrostatic pressure against already compromised walls. Like many homes in Sheboygan County, this combination of structural stress and unmanaged water created a compounding problem that worsened over time.
In addition to structural concerns, the lack of an effective basement waterproofing system meant water had no controlled path for removal. The existing sump pump was present but not properly connected to a perimeter drainage solution, limiting its effectiveness. The homeowner was dealing with both foundation instability and recurring moisture—two issues that often go hand-in-hand in Wisconsin’s clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles.

After
To address both the structural and waterproofing concerns, Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System to permanently stabilize the failing poured foundation walls. These adjustable steel beams were custom-fit to the basement height and securely anchored to the framing above, allowing for immediate stabilization and the potential for gradual wall straightening over time. Installation included torque verification to ensure each brace met structural performance standards, a key step in long-term foundation repair contractor work in Wisconsin.
To resolve the water intrusion, the team installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater seepage before it reached the floor. The system was designed to channel water directly into the home’s existing sump pump system, maximizing efficiency without requiring full replacement. This integrated basement waterproofing Wisconsin solution provided a clean, concealed drainage path while relieving pressure at the wall-floor joint.
The homeowner now has a stabilized foundation and a reliable system to keep the basement dry, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.
