Before:
In Hatley, WI, a homeowner reported significant inward bowing in a basement wall along with horizontal cracking that worsened during wet periods. Marathon County’s clay-rich soils were exerting lateral pressure against the wall, causing measurable displacement and classic symptoms such as wall deflection, mortar-joint separation, and uneven floor-to-wall gaps. At the same time, the basement was taking on water during heavy rain, indicating both structural pressure and hydrostatic water intrusion.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the bowing wall and stop further inward movement. Each anchor rod was driven into stable soil away from the failing wall, tensioned using verified torque measurements, and locked into place to counteract the hillside and soil load. Along with the anchoring system, Sure-Dry installed a full interior basement waterproofing system to manage water seepage and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
Together, these systems now protect the home from both structural movement and water intrusion—critical improvements for properties in Central Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.

Because it's built directly underneath your home, your crawl space plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear this weight through the foundation walls and crawl space support columns.

In many cases, a failing crawl space structure can be resolved by installing crawl space supports.

Here is a before & after example of a SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system we installed at a home in Hatley, WI.  SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

Before:
A homeowner in Ringle, WI noticed long horizontal cracks forming along the basement walls and slight inward bowing near the midspan. Over time, soil pressure from the exterior had caused movement in the poured concrete walls, leaving visible separation at mortar joints and signs of water intrusion along the base. The homeowner grew concerned about continued structural shifting and potential wall failure.

After:
To stabilize the foundation and prevent further movement, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors along the affected wall sections. Anchors were driven through the wall into stable, undisturbed soil outside the backfill zone and connected to interior steel plates. The system immediately halted wall movement and provides the ability to gradually straighten the walls during scheduled service visits.

Now, this Ringle basement has a secure, stabilized foundation—restoring structural integrity and peace of mind for the homeowner.
