Before & After Photos

Before
A homeowner in Oshkosh, WI began noticing signs of basement foundation movement, including bowing walls and visible cracking along the foundation. Over time, pressure from expanding soil and moisture buildup caused the walls to shift inward, raising concerns about structural stability. In areas like Winnebago County, foundation movement is often driven by hydrostatic pressure—where saturated soil expands and pushes against basement walls—as well as freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture levels. These symptoms are commonly searched as foundation repair near me or bowing wall repair Wisconsin, prompting the homeowner to seek a long-term solution.

After
Our team stabilized the foundation using the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System, installing steel I-beams securely against the basement walls and anchoring them to the floor and framing above. This system immediately stops further inward movement and provides the ability to gradually straighten the walls over time.
The homeowner now has a reinforced, stable foundation with long-term protection and restored peace of mind.

Before
A homeowner in Oshkosh, WI was dealing with a failing block basement, where the foundation walls had begun to bow inward and show stair-step cracking along the mortar joints. The movement had progressed to the point where sections of the wall were visibly unstable, raising serious concerns about structural integrity. In Winnebago County, these conditions are commonly caused by hydrostatic pressure from saturated soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. These issues are often searched as foundation repair near me or bowing wall repair Wisconsin, and the homeowner needed a permanent solution from a trusted foundation repair contractor.

After
Our team stabilized the failing walls using the GeoLock Wall Anchor System, installing earth anchors in stable soil outside the home and connecting them to steel plates inside the basement. This system immediately stops further inward movement and provides the ability to gradually straighten the walls over time.
The homeowner now has a secure, stabilized foundation with long-term structural protection and peace of mind.

Before:
A homeowner in Clintonville noticed large horizontal cracks forming along their basement walls, with sections beginning to bow inward. Over time, the movement had become more noticeable, raising concern about the wall’s stability and long-term safety.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a combination of CarbonArmor® reinforcement straps and GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize and permanently secure the compromised walls. The CarbonArmor® system provided immediate strength to stop further bowing, while the GeoLock® Anchors applied durable, adjustable tension from stable soil outside the foundation. 

The homeowner now has a reinforced basement they can trust for years to come.

Having a stable and safe home is very important to many homeowners, especially homeowners in Fond du Lac, WI. The floor above their crawlspace was sagging in various locations and they were in desperate need for Sure-Dry's help.

The crew arrived with 21 SmartJacks and 15 Supplemental Beams to install in their crawlspace. These products made of galvanized steel will never rust or corrode. The heavy-duty SmartJacks permanently stabilize the floor, floor joists, and the new steel support beams. They work best in lifting the floor above to its correct level. 

These homeowners are pleased to know the structure of their home is in good hands and that they can enjoy the home they've created for their family without any worries!  

Structural Foundation & Air Quality Repair in North Fond du Lac, WI

Before: Failing Fieldstone Foundation with Structural and Air Quality Concerns

In North Fond du Lac, WI, this homeowner was facing multiple serious issues:
• A deteriorating fieldstone foundation with visible signs of collapse risk
• Old wooden support posts that were rotting and no longer offering proper structural support
• Severe water intrusion and humidity in the basement, leading to musty odors and unhealthy air
• Cracks in walls and door frames upstairs, signaling that the foundation’s instability was impacting the home above

The basement was damp, unstable, and unsafe—threatening both the structure and air quality of the entire house. The homeowner needed a solution that addressed foundation stabilization, moisture control, and air purification—all at once.

After: A Structurally Sound, Dry, and Healthy Home

Sure-Dry provided a full-scope solution to repair and protect the home for the long term.

What We Installed:

• SuperSump® Plus sump pump to remove groundwater quickly and reliably

• SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier with RimTight™ ducting, a powerful air filtration and purification system to reduce mold risk, control humidity, and improve overall air quality

These upgrades addressed every issue: the structural integrity of the foundation, the water buildup threatening its stability, and the air quality concerns tied to long-term moisture.
