Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Discharge pipes laying around your lawn can look messy and result in a tripping hazard. However, underground discharge pipes aren't any better because they can freeze during winter and can back up water in your sump pump and cause flooding. This was the problem for these homeowners in Nekoosa, WI. Every winter their pipes would freeze and water would back up into their basement.

Immediately our team knew just what to do to put these homeowners at ease. We installed our Iceguard System, this is attached right to the house where the discharge pipes come out. Located at the top of the IceGuard are small slits to release water out if your pipes are frozen, letting the homeowners know their pipes need to be thawed out. 

Our Sure-Dry team installed 8 GeoLocks to the basement walls of a home in Nekoosa, WI.

GeoLocks use the outside, hard, compacted soil to hold the wall in place and keep it from bowing any further. Every so often the GeoLocks can be tightened and over time will pull the wall but to its proper location.

The foundation of this home in Nekoosa, WI had one wall made of fieldstone that was completely deteriorated. The fieldstone wall was bowing in over ten inches with water seeping in every time it rained. The homeowners were certain their only option was total foundation replacement.  

Luckily, Sure-Dry was able to offer these homeowners an alternative to total foundation replacement with their EverBrace Wall Restoration System™.  The EverBrace Wall Restoration System permanently stabilizes the most extreme cases of failing foundation walls.

With EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.

The EverBrace Wall Restoration System is compatible with field stone, clay block and brick foundation walls in addition to poured concrete and concrete block walls. While other solutions may work for the first signs of foundation problems, only the EverBrace can restore a severely compromised foundation wall.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had a poured concrete basement wall with a horizontal crack near mid-height and faint diagonal cracks from the corners. After heavy rains the wall showed slight inward bowing—classic signs of lateral soil pressure—and they wanted a non-invasive solution that wouldn’t require exterior excavation.

After:
We reinforced the wall with the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System—high-strength carbon fiber straps epoxied in vertical runs and locked to the floor system (ArmorLock™ top anchors) for continuous restraint, all installed from the inside with a low-profile finish.

The wall is now stabilized against further inward movement and ready for finishing or paint.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa was getting seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms and dampness wicking through the lower walls. Some sections of the basement couldn’t be trenched due to finishes and utilities, and the aging pump left them uneasy during power flickers.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage where trenching was feasible to intercept groundwater at the cove joint, and used DryTrak® low-profile baseboard drainage along finished/utility walls where we couldn’t cut the slab. Both drains were tied into a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for dependable pumping through outages.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and usable year-round—with reliable protection in heavy rains and power interruptions.
