Before & After Photos

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.

In Green Lake, WI, this home experienced unstable foundation issues, causing noticeable sagging floors and a sagging chimney. Our expert team tackled the problem using our advanced Helical Pier System.

Our permanent solution has put reports of foundation instability in the past for this homeowner, ensuring peace of mind and the restoration of their property’s value.

In Berlin, WI homeowners noticed their basement walls were bowing forward. 

Our team came out and installed 9 GeoLocks. These GeoLocks use the hard compacted soil outside to pull/hold the wall in place so no further bowing takes place. 

Before:
A homeowner in Berlin noticed a horizontal crack forming through the middle of a basement wall with sections bowing inward. Seasonal soil pressure and saturated clay soils were worsening the movement, raising concerns about long-term stability and safety.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System, connecting heavy-duty interior wall plates to galvanized earth anchors set in stable soil outside. The system immediately stabilizes the wall and allows for periodic tightening to help straighten it over time—with minimal excavation at each anchor location.

The foundation is now secure against further inward movement, and the homeowner has a proven path to improve wall alignment over the seasons.
