Before: Water Seepage & Growing Wall Cracks

In Appleton, WI, this homeowner had been battling basement water for years—resorting to wet vacs after every heavy rain just to keep up. But recently, they noticed something even more concerning: cracks in their poured concrete foundation walls were getting worse. The basement wasn’t just damp—it was becoming structurally unstable.

With signs of long-term moisture intrusion and wall movement, they knew it was time to get things stabilized and fixed before the damage escalated.

After: Stabilized Foundation and a Dry, Protected Basement

Sure-Dry installed a comprehensive system to handle both the structural and water problems at the same time.

What We Installed:

• PowerBrace™ Wall Reinforcement System to stabilize the cracked poured foundation walls and stop further inward movement

• WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to capture water at the base of the walls and prevent pooling

• A new sump pump system for dependable water removal during rain and snowmelt

Now, the basement is dry, structurally stable, and worry-free. The PowerBraces give long-term support to the foundation, while WaterGuard and the sump pump keep moisture under control—eliminating the need for wet vacs and reducing stress during every storm.
