Before & After Photos

Before: Foundation Walls Showing Advanced Signs of Stress

In Hortonville, WI, a homeowner noticed their basement walls were starting to bow inward and develop horizontal cracks. With each passing season—especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles—the issue worsened. The walls were under pressure from expanding soil outside the home, putting the structure at risk.

They had heard horror stories about full foundation replacement and wanted a solution that would repair the damage without tearing up their yard or interior space.

After: Permanent Stability with the Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System

Sure-Dry installed a Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System designed to:

• Halt inward wall movement immediately

• Restore structural integrity

• Gradually straighten walls over time, if needed

Each anchor system included galvanized steel rods that extended from interior wall plates to stable soil several feet from the foundation. This powerful system not only stabilized the wall—it gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing they had a long-term solution in place.

The basement is now dry, safe, and stable—no more widening cracks or worrying signs of failure.

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. Notice in the after photo how these state-of-the-art products not only secured the foundation but also promised enduring strength and safety. With Sure-Dry, peace of mind is always part of the package.

Before:
A homeowner in Pearson, WI, noticed that one wall of their basement was bowing inward and showing horizontal cracking near the midpoint. The foundation movement had gradually worsened over time, causing concern about the structural stability of the wall and the potential for future failure. The homeowner wanted a permanent repair that could stabilize the wall and prevent further inward movement without major excavation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s crew installed GeoLock® Channel Anchors along the affected foundation wall. These steel anchors were secured deep into stable soil outside the home and connected to heavy-duty steel channels mounted inside along the bowing wall. Once tightened, the system immediately stabilized the structure and began to straighten the wall over time.

The installation provided a long-term solution that restored the home’s foundation strength and gave the homeowner confidence their basement wall was permanently reinforced.

Before:
In Eagle River, WI, a homeowner noticed sagging floors, cracks forming in the drywall, and doors that no longer closed properly. Upon inspection, Sure-Dry found that the crawl space support beams were failing due to moisture and soil settlement beneath the home. The wooden posts had shifted and no longer provided consistent support, causing the floors above to bow and sink over time.

After:
Sure-Dry reinforced the crawl space using the SmartJack® floor support system, engineered to provide long-term stabilization and precise adjustability. Each galvanized steel SmartJack was set on a solid, engineered base designed to prevent future settlement, then tightened to lift and realign the floor system.
After installation, the floors were level, the structural integrity of the home was restored, and the homeowner gained lasting peace of mind knowing their foundation was properly supported.
