Before & After Photos

Before
A homeowner in Oshkosh, WI began noticing significant signs of foundation wall failure, including horizontal cracking and inward bowing of the basement walls. These issues are common in Wisconsin homes due to expanding clay soils and hydrostatic pressure from heavy rain and snowmelt. As the wall movement progressed, the homeowner grew concerned about the structural integrity of the home and began searching for a trusted foundation repair company and foundation repair contractor in Wisconsin.

The failing walls were no longer able to withstand the lateral pressure from the surrounding soil, putting the home at risk for further structural damage. Bowing wall repair is critical in situations like this, as continued movement can lead to severe instability and costly repairs if not addressed promptly.

After
Sure-Dry installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System along with the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System to permanently stabilize the failing foundation walls. The CarbonArmor system uses high-strength carbon fiber straps bonded directly to the wall to prevent further cracking and movement, while the PowerBrace system provides adjustable steel beam support to reinforce and potentially straighten the walls over time.

Together, these systems created a comprehensive foundation repair solution tailored to the severity of the wall damage.
The walls are now stabilized, and the homeowner has regained confidence in the safety and long-term performance of their home.

In Oshkosh, WI, a concerned homeowner reached out to our team at Sure-Dry after noticing uneven floors that seemed unstable and unpredictable. Understanding the importance of a solid foundation for their home's safety and family wellbeing, the homeowner called us to resolve these troubling concerns.

After the initial contact with our Customer Care Specialist, we quickly had a System Design Specialist visit their home. Meticulously inspecting the property, our specialist diagnosed the problem—a weakened support system in the crawl space was leading to the instability of the floors. This is a common issue that can cause significant structural problems if not addressed.

The solution was clear, and our team was prepared to deliver results. Our production team, consisting of a skilled foreman and dedicated installers, set to work on implementing the SmartJack® System. This innovative system is engineered precisely for such challenges. We accomplished stabilization by installing galvanized steel columns, custom-cut to ensure a perfect fit. These columns were then securely set on enduring steel bases and adjusted to lift the sagging floors towards their original levels.

Once the SmartJack System was in place and fully secure, the homeowner saw immediate results—not only in the improved stability and leveling of their floors but also in the peace of mind that comes with a long-lasting and trustworthy solution. The process was smooth and interruption-free, from initial inspection to completion.

Before
A homeowner in Appleton, WI was experiencing signs of failing support in their basement, including sagging floors above and interior doors that were sticking or not closing properly. These symptoms are common indicators of structural support issues, often caused by weakened beams or inadequate support posts—especially in Wisconsin homes affected by moisture and shifting soil conditions. Concerned about long-term damage, the homeowner began searching for a trusted foundation repair company and crawl space repair contractor in Wisconsin.

The underlying issue was insufficient structural support beneath the floor system, allowing sections of the home to settle over time. Without proper reinforcement, the problem would continue to worsen, leading to increased stress on the home’s framing and more noticeable uneven floors throughout the living space.

After
Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack Structural Support System in the basement to address the failing support system and restore structural stability. These adjustable steel support posts were placed beneath the main beams and secured to engineered bases, allowing the load of the home to be transferred to stable soil below. Installation was completed by trained specialists to ensure precise support and long-term performance.

With the SmartJack Structural Support System in place, the home is now properly supported and structurally stabilized.
The floors feel level again, and the homeowner has regained confidence in the safety and durability of their home.

Before:
A homeowner in Clintonville noticed large horizontal cracks forming along their basement walls, with sections beginning to bow inward. Over time, the movement had become more noticeable, raising concern about the wall’s stability and long-term safety.

The CarbonArmor® system provided immediate strength to stop further bowing, while the GeoLock® Anchors applied durable, adjustable tension from stable soil outside the foundation. 

The homeowner now has a reinforced basement they can trust for years to come.
