Before & After Photos

Before:
In Marshfield, WI, an attached garage built into a side hill was experiencing inward wall movement along the downhill side. The homeowner noticed widening horizontal cracking, stair-step fractures near the corners, and soil pressure pushing the wall inward—common symptoms of lateral foundation stress, especially where hillside soils become saturated. Built on the rolling terrain of Wood County, the garage wall was taking on increasing force as seasonal moisture cycles and clay-rich soils expanded and pressed against the structure.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the bowing wall and counteract the hillside pressure. Technicians advanced each anchor rod into competent, undisturbed soil away from the slope, verified alignment with precision laser measurements, and tensioned the system to arrest ongoing movement. The wall is now permanently supported, with the option for gradual corrective tightening over time.
This repair provides long-term stability for hillside-built structures throughout Central Wisconsin’s moisture-sensitive soils.

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.

This concrete patio in Arpin, WI had some major, hazardous cracks in it due to heaving from frost. Sure-Dry was able to lift and level the patio with their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. 

After the concrete was lifted and level, Sure-Dry repaired the cracks with their NexusPro Solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.

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.
