Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Before: This Eagle River, WI, home had uneven, bouncy floors caused by failing crawl space supports and soft soil conditions. The sagging worsened over time, leading to cracks in drywall and doors that no longer closed properly.

After: Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® crawl space supports, providing a permanent, adjustable solution for floor stabilization. Each SmartJack was set on a solid foundation and tightened to lift the floors back to level while preventing future settlement.

The homeowner now enjoys a stable, level floor and peace of mind knowing their crawl space and foundation are fully supported for years to come.

Before:
In Eagle River, WI, a homeowner noticed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with a horizontal crack forming near mid-height and stair-step cracking along the corners. Vilas County’s sandy, moisture-variable soils—especially near lakes and high-water-table areas—were exerting lateral pressure during wet periods, causing the wall to shift inward. As the deflection increased, mortar joints widened and the wall began showing symptoms consistent with an actively moving foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the bowing wall and counteract the lateral soil pressure. Anchor rods were extended into undisturbed soils beyond the exterior pressure zone, and each anchor was torque-verified to ensure proper engagement before final tensioning.
The wall is now fully stabilized with the option for periodic tightening—an ideal long-term solution for Northwoods homes affected by seasonal moisture changes and shifting soils.

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!
