Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Before

The homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI was dealing with multiple basement issues, including bowing foundation walls, water seepage, and deteriorating wall surfaces. Moisture entering along the foundation walls was creating damp conditions and concerns about future water damage, while the wall movement indicated structural stress that could worsen over time. These symptoms are common signs that both foundation repair and basement waterproofing systems are needed to protect the home and restore confidence in the basement's long-term stability.

After

Sure-Dry addressed the structural concerns by installing the EverBrace Wall Restoration System, providing permanent support for the failing foundation walls. To manage water intrusion, the crew installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it could reach the floor surface. The CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System was installed over the basement walls to help direct wall moisture into the drainage system while creating a cleaner appearance. Water collected by the system was discharged through the SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing a comprehensive basement waterproofing and foundation repair solution for the home.

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.

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.
