Before & After Photos

In Arpin, WI, a collapsing retaining wall posed a major concern, as shown in the before photo. This threat to both structural integrity and property value needed immediate attention. We addressed the problem by installing our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, illustrated in the after photo. This innovative system stabilizes foundation walls, preventing inward movement and maintaining permanent protection. With the use of heavy-duty steel earth anchors and steel wall plates, our team provided a reliable solution, securing the homeowner's peace of mind and establishing lasting stability.

This basement wall had a very large crack that was letting water into the basement on a fairly consistent basis. Much like with floor cracks, the first step to repairing a leaky wall crack is installing one of our drainage systems. We then use an innovative polyurethane sealant called FlexiSpan® to seal the crack. This flexible sealant will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of your foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofed seal.

In Stratford, WI, a homeowner faced challenges with their driveway as settling had resulted in uneven patches. In the before photo, you can see how this undermined the driveway's appearance and safety. To address this, our team applied the PolyLevel® system, using high-strength polyurethane foam to stabilize and raise the affected sections back to their intended levels. We then used the NexusPro® Joint Sealant to protect the joints from water infiltration. In the after photo, it’s clear that these innovative solutions restored stability and ensured a long-lasting, professional finish.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had a crawl space that needed encapsulation, but there was another important concern beneath the home—the floor system needed additional support. When beams and floor joists become inadequately supported, homeowners may begin noticing symptoms above the crawl space such as sagging floors, sloping floors, uneven areas, or movement underfoot.

Moisture and changing conditions inside a crawl space can also contribute to deterioration of the wood floor system over time, making it important to address both the crawl space environment and the structural support beneath the home.

After

As part of the crawl space repair, Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® support posts beneath the home's floor system. These adjustable steel supports are positioned beneath the beams to provide additional stabilization where the structure needs it most.

Unlike temporary wood posts or improvised supports, SmartJacks are designed specifically for crawl space structural repair. They transfer the weight of the floor system to engineered support points below and can be adjusted to help stabilize the floors above.

The crawl space was also encapsulated to create a cleaner, more controlled environment and help protect the area beneath the home from moisture.

With the crawl space improved and SmartJacks providing dependable support beneath the floor system, this homeowner now has a more stable foundation for the living space above.

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had serious structural concerns beneath the living space. The crawl space had a very poor foundation, and the existing floor support system was no longer providing the dependable support the home needed.

When crawl space foundations and supports deteriorate or shift, beams and floor joists can begin to sag. Homeowners may notice uneven or sloping floors, soft areas underfoot, gaps between floors and walls, or other signs of movement inside the home.

After

Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® crawl space support posts to provide additional stabilization beneath the home's floor system.

The adjustable steel supports were strategically positioned beneath the beams to help transfer the weight of the floor system to stable support points below. This provides a much more dependable solution than relying on deteriorating, undersized, or improvised supports commonly found in older crawl spaces.

While SmartJacks do not rebuild the existing foundation itself, they provide engineered structural support where the floor system needs it, helping stabilize sagging and uneven floors above.
