Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI began noticing visible horizontal cracking and inward bowing along multiple basement walls. The movement had worsened after heavy rains, and parts of the finished basement showed drywall separation and uneven floors above. With signs of both lateral and vertical shifting, the foundation required a structural repair plan capable of addressing different failure modes.

After:
To stabilize and reinforce the structure, our team installed a combination of GeoLock® Wall Anchors and PowerBrace™ Support Beams. GeoLocks were used where exterior access allowed anchor installation into stable soil beyond the backfill zone, immediately halting wall movement and enabling future tightening. In tighter areas with no dig access, PowerBraces were mounted floor-to-joist—providing strong interior-only stabilization.

Now, the Combined Locks home has a fully supported foundation with a plan for gradual realignment and long-term protection against soil pressure and structural movement.

Before, this Phelps, WI home faced threatening wall failure and foundation issues, leaving the homeowners worried about their safety and property value. Notice in the before photo the visible distress. But here's the after - our GeoLock Wall Anchor system securely braced their walls, addressing the problem at its root. As you can see, the structure now stands strong and stable, confidently backed by our commitment to lasting solutions and exceptional customer experiences.

Before, a Sherwood homeowner faced the unnerving sight of severe horizontal cracks and bowing walls in their basement, visible evidence of a foundation under stress. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the after photo shines a bright light on a stable, reinstated foundation, courtesy of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. As you can see, beyond fixing the structure, we've also installed a dependable WaterGuard system, effectively channeling water into the existing sump pump, ensuring peace of mind during even the heaviest of rains.

Before:
A homeowner in Sherwood began noticing horizontal and stair-step cracks forming in their poured concrete foundation about five to six years ago. Over time, one basement wall showed visible inward movement, a sign of lateral pressure from expanding soils around the home. The displacement had worsened gradually, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.

After:
A PowerBrace™ wall reinforcement system was installed to stabilize the bowing wall and prevent further movement. Each steel I-beam was secured at the floor joists and along the footing to distribute loads evenly and allow future tightening.

The wall is now fully supported, restoring structural integrity and giving the homeowner peace of mind about the foundation’s stability.

To stabilize a home's foundation, the GeoLocks are the best solution, however, they aren't the prettiest view for a finished basement which is why we have the Hide A Way Covers. These covers fit perfectly over the GeoLocks leaving a clean, presentable look while also guaranteeing a stable foundation, it's the perfect solution!
