Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing increasing horizontal cracking and inward bowing along their basement wall. Seasonal clay expansion and freeze-thaw pressures common throughout Outagamie County had pushed the wall out of alignment, leaving visible deflection and moisture staining at several points. Measurements taken during inspection confirmed progressive movement, with the wall bowing more than one inch in key locations—indicating the need for structural stabilization.

After:
To restore stability, the crew installed PowerBrace™ beams along the failing wall to provide immediate support and long-term tightening potential. In addition, exterior soil conditions allowed for the installation of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to counteract outward pressure and gradually return the wall toward a straighter position. Together, these systems created a reinforced structure capable of withstanding seasonal ground movement.
The homeowner now has a supported, stabilized basement wall with reduced movement and a safer foundation for years to come.

Before
A homeowner in Appleton, WI was experiencing signs of failing foundation support, including sagging and uneven floors throughout the home. These issues are often caused by weakened or shifting supports in the crawl space, a common problem in Wisconsin due to fluctuating moisture levels and soil conditions. As the floors continued to dip, the homeowner became concerned about the structural integrity of the home and began searching for a reliable foundation repair company and crawl space repair contractor in Wisconsin.

The underlying problem was a lack of adequate support beneath the home, allowing the floor system to settle over time. Without proper reinforcement, the failing foundation support would continue to worsen, leading to increased structural stress, more noticeable floor unevenness, and potential long-term damage.

After
Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack Structural Support System to address the failing foundation support and restore stability to the home. These adjustable steel support posts were strategically placed beneath the floor joists and set on engineered bases to transfer the load to stable soil below. The installation was completed by trained specialists to ensure precise stabilization and long-term performance in Wisconsin soil conditions.

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

Before

A homeowner in Appleton, WI was dealing with a failing foundation, noticing symptoms such as wall cracks, uneven floors, and doors that no longer opened and closed properly. These are common warning signs of foundation settlement in Wisconsin, where fluctuating moisture levels and soil conditions can cause the ground beneath a home to shift. Concerned about worsening structural damage, the homeowner began searching for a trusted foundation repair company and experienced foundation repair contractor in Wisconsin.

The root cause of the issue was identified as foundation settlement due to unstable supporting soils. As the soil compressed and shifted, sections of the home began to sink, creating stress throughout the structure. Without professional foundation repair, the damage would continue to progress, leading to more severe structural concerns and costly repairs.

After
Sure-Dry installed the Push Pier Foundation Piering System to stabilize and lift the settling foundation. These steel piers are driven deep into stable load-bearing soil or bedrock, allowing the weight of the home to be transferred off the unstable upper soils. Installation was completed by trained specialists, restoring structural support and preventing further settlement.

With the Push Pier Foundation Piering System in place, the home is now stabilized and protected against future movement.
The foundation has been reinforced, and the homeowner now has confidence in the long-term safety and value of their home.

Before
A homeowner in Appleton, WI began noticing signs of foundation failure, including uneven floors and interior doors that were no longer opening and closing properly. These symptoms are common indicators of structural settlement, often caused by weak or shifting soils and inadequate support beneath the home—especially in Wisconsin’s changing seasonal conditions. As the issues progressed, the homeowner searched for a trusted foundation repair company and foundation repair contractor to restore stability.

The root cause was identified as failing support in the crawl space, leading to sagging floor systems above. Uneven floors and sticking doors are key warning signs that additional structural support is needed. Without proper intervention, the problem would continue to worsen, potentially impacting the overall integrity of the home.

Before:
A homeowner in Keshena, WI noticed sagging floors and cracks forming along interior walls and door frames. The home’s crawl space had aging supports and shifting soils that no longer provided consistent bearing for the floor system. Seasonal moisture changes and wood deterioration had caused deflection in the beams, leading to uneven floors and growing structural concerns.

After:
To stabilize and support the structure, our team installed our SmartJacks Support System throughout the crawl space. The adjustable system provided immediate reinforcement to the existing girders and a reliable path for future tightening if seasonal movement occurs.

Now, the Keshena home has solid, level floors and dependable support beneath the living space—protecting the structure for years to come.
