Before & After Photos

Before

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI homeowner had a basement foundation wall showing signs of inward movement and needed a way to stabilize the wall before the problem became more severe.

Foundation walls can experience significant pressure from the surrounding soil. Saturated ground, poor drainage, expanding soils, and Wisconsin's repeated freeze-thaw cycles can increase lateral pressure against a basement wall. Over time, homeowners may notice horizontal cracks, stair-step cracking, or sections of the foundation wall beginning to bow inward.

After

Sure-Dry stabilized the affected foundation wall using CarbonArmor® wall reinforcement. CarbonArmor straps are made with high-strength carbon fiber and are bonded directly to the foundation wall to help resist further inward movement.

Because the system has a low-profile design, it provides foundation wall stabilization without installing large steel beams throughout the basement. Once installed, the straps remain tight against the wall and can be finished over if the homeowner chooses to remodel the basement in the future.

By addressing the structural movement rather than simply covering the visible foundation cracks, Sure-Dry provided this homeowner with a permanent wall stabilization solution designed to protect the basement foundation from additional inward movement.

We received a call from homeowners in Wisconsin Rapids, WI about their basement walls bowing in and cracking. 

To fix this problem, the crew installed 4 GeoLocks to their basement walls. The GeoLocks work by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside of their home. Over time, the threaded rods will work to pull the wall back to their original location.  

With the structure of their home in good hands, these homeowners are at peace of mind. 

The floor of this garage in Wisconsin Rapids, WI had definitely seen some better days.  Years of soil erosion underneath the floor had caused some major sinking, eventually leading to the major cracks you see in the before picture.  

To lift and level the garage floor, Sure-Dry utilized their PolyLevel® Injection Foam System.  PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

Once the floor was lifted and leveled, Sure-Dry repaired the cracks with their NexusPro solution.  NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck, sidewalk, or in this instance your garage floor, for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.

If you have sunken, uneven and cracked concrete surfaces around your home, call Sure-Dry today for your free estimate!

Before:

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI, homeowner had cracked, bowing basement walls caused by years of soil pressure and moisture. The structural damage created concern for the safety and stability of the foundation, as cracks continued to widen with each season.

After:

Sure-Dry installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. The system uses steel anchors embedded in undisturbed soil to counteract external pressure, halting movement and allowing gradual straightening over time.

The homeowner now has a strong, secure foundation and confidence knowing their home is protected from further wall movement and structural damage.

Before

The homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI had previously addressed foundation concerns on several basement walls with a PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System. During a later inspection, additional foundation walls in other areas of the basement showed signs of inward movement and cracking caused by lateral soil pressure. Bowing walls and horizontal cracks are common warning signs that foundation walls are under stress and may require stabilization to prevent further movement.

After

Sure-Dry stabilized the remaining affected walls using the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. While the existing PowerBrace system continued to support the previously repaired walls, the GeoLock anchors were installed on separate foundation walls requiring reinforcement. The anchors were embedded in stable soil beyond the foundation and connected to galvanized steel interior anchor plates, helping counteract ongoing soil pressure and stabilize the walls against future movement.
