Before & After Photos

When the homeowner in Pearson, WI noticed troubling signs of wall failure, they knew it was time to call Sure-Dry. As can be seen in the before photo, the issue was significant, posing risks to the home's stability. Our solution? We installed the GeoLock Channel Anchor and GeoLock Wall Anchor systems.

When this Eagle River homeowner noticed their basement walls starting to crack and bow, they turned to us at Sure-Dry for help. As you can see in the before photo, the foundation was under strain. But don't just focus on the problems of the past; look at the transformation in our after photo. Leveraging the strength of our PowerBrace system, we were able to stabilize and straighten the walls, ensuring a secure and worry-free future for the home. Trust us at Sure-Dry to provide not only an effective solution but a remarkable experience from start to finish.

Our team took on a free estimate in Land O' Lakes, WI. The homeowners were experiencing bowed walls in their basement and wanted to get them fixed before any major damage took place.

To resolve this issue, we installed 5 GeoLocks on their basement walls. These anchors latch on to the hard, compacted soil outside and pull the way back to its correct standing position. 

Now, these homeowners won't have to worry about any future damage because their home is now protected! 

In Greenville, WI, a homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement: horizontal cracks running across the concrete block walls, slight inward bowing, and moisture issues following heavy rains. The problem was worsening with the seasons, and it became clear that structural intervention was needed.

Upon inspection, Sure-Dry identified a classic case of bowing basement walls, often caused by soil pressure and hydrostatic forces acting on aging or poorly supported foundation walls. Left unaddressed, this kind of damage can lead to severe foundation failure and costly future repairs.

After: Permanent Stabilization with Geo Lock Wall Anchors

To solve the issue, our team installed a series of Geo Lock Wall Anchors, a proven solution for stabilizing bowing walls. These galvanized steel anchors are embedded into stable soil outside the home and connected to steel wall plates inside the basement. Over time, the system can even be adjusted to help straighten the walls.

The results were immediate and visually striking:

• The walls were stabilized and protected against further bowing.

• Cracks were sealed, improving moisture control.

• The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their foundation was secure.

Why This Matters

Geo Lock Wall Anchors are a long-term, cost-effective solution for bowing wall repair. In Greenville, WI, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement are common, this system offers a powerful defense against structural damage.

To reinforce their bowed basement walls we installed 6 PowerBraces. These braces are made of galvanized steel and will never rust or corrode. Over time they can be adjusted to correct the location of the walls.
