Before & After Photos

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 Woodruff, WI contacted Sure-Dry after realizing their finished basement bedroom did not have a code-compliant emergency exit. The existing window opening was undersized and positioned too high to meet Wisconsin egress requirements, creating both a safety concern and limiting the usability of the space. During the inspection, our team measured the opening dimensions and evaluated exterior grading to determine proper well placement and drainage control.
After Our crew carefully excavated the exterior foundation wall and installed a properly sized Egress Window System designed to meet building code requirements for safe emergency escape and rescue access. A durable window well with integrated drainage was installed to prevent water accumulation and protect against basement water intrusion during heavy rain or snowmelt. The new installation improves natural light, ventilation, and safety while increasing the functional living space in the home.
The basement bedroom is now code-compliant, safer, and brighter for long-term use in Woodruff, WI.

Before In Woodruff, WI, the homeowner noticed horizontal cracking and slight inward movement along a poured concrete foundation wall — a common sign of soil pressure and freeze-thaw cycles in northern Wisconsin. During heavy rain and spring snowmelt, they began searching for foundation repair Wisconsin and bowing wall repair Wisconsin after seeing small gaps widen along the mortar lines. The basement felt unstable, raising concerns about long-term structural performance and potential wet basement repair Wisconsin needs if movement continued.
After Sure-Dry installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System to permanently stabilize the affected wall without invasive excavation. The low-profile carbon fiber straps were epoxied directly to the wall surface and engineered to bond tighter than steel, immediately stopping further inward movement. The system restored structural stability while preserving full basement space, providing a proven foundation repair contractor solution designed for Wisconsin soil conditions.
The basement is now structurally secure and protected against future movement.

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.

In Waupun, WI homeowners noticed a slight bend in their basements walls. They didn't know if it was something that needed to be fixed or if it would be okay to leave alone. Which is why they called our SureDry team for a free estimate.

Once our crew arrived at their home, we knew it needed care immediately. If these homeowners continued to leave the wall untreated the situation would get much worse and much more expensive. 

Our crew installed 3 GeoLocks on their basement walls. These locks latch on to the hard compacted soil outside and, over time, will be tightened to pull the wall back into place.
