Sloping Floors & Sticking Door Issues Resolved with Joist Support Systen in Fond Du Lac, WI

Before

This homeowner was living with sloping floors, sticking doors, and interior doors that would no longer close properly—common signs that the floor system beneath the home was no longer receiving adequate support. During our inspection, we found that aging support posts and weakened crawl space framing had allowed portions of the floor structure to settle over time. In older Wisconsin homes, shifting soils, moisture, and years of structural movement can all contribute to sagging floors and uneven living spaces. To restore support and help stabilize the home, we recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.

After

Our crew installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the affected floor framing, placing each galvanized steel support on a properly prepared engineered base to provide long-term stability. The SmartJacks were carefully adjusted to lift and reinforce the sagging floor system, helping improve the slope of the floors and allowing several interior doors to operate more normally. The homeowner now has a stronger, more stable floor system and peace of mind knowing the home is supported by a permanent structural repair.

Home Foundation & Bowing Wall Repair In Bryant, WI

Before:
A Bryant homeowner noticed horizontal cracks and inward bowing along a basement wall. Doors were sticking, and new stair-step cracks were forming near the corners—clear signs of lateral pressure from soils pushing against the foundation. The homeowner needed a permanent, non-invasive solution before the damage worsened.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to stabilize the failing wall. Galvanized earth anchors were set in stable soil outside and connected to interior steel wall plates with high-strength rods. Once tightened, the system immediately halted movement and provided the ability to make periodic adjustments to help straighten the wall over time.

The basement is now structurally secure with minimal disturbance to the yard and a clean interior finish.

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.
