Homeowners in Menasha, WI after purchasing their new home, found out that the previous owner had covered up bowed foundation walls.
To resolve the problem, our team installed 6 GeoLocks on the foundation wall. These locks latch on to the hard compacted soil outside of the home. It then uses that compaction to pull the wall back to its upright position.
These homeowners were furious that they had to deal with these problems but after our team stepped in and helped, they couldn't be happier with the results.
These homeowners had noticed that the drywall in their finished basement had started to crack, and there was visible water on the wall and floors, which they were concerned about. After a thorough inspection and removal of the drywall, it was determined that the foundation walls had indeed cracked and were starting to bow in which was causing the issue. To fix this issue and prevent further damage, Sure-Dry was able to fill in the cracks and install the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, a state-of-the-art carbon fiber system to stabilize the foundation walls. The homeowners were thrilled that the issue was fixed, and they could go back to enjoying their home.
In Menasha, this homeowner had a severely cracked block wall, with visible stair-step cracks and signs of inward bowing. Alongside the structural issues, the basement had ongoing water seepage problems, especially during heavy rain. The homeowner was ready to fix the wall and get the water under control—for good.
Sure-Dry installed a full foundation and waterproofing system to solve both problems at once:
PowerBraces™ were installed to stabilize and support the cracked foundation wall
WaterGuard® was added along the interior perimeter to collect and direct groundwater
A new sump pump system was installed to remove the water quickly and efficiently
RimTight® insulation was added at the joist spaces to help regulate temperature and moisture
Now the basement is dry, secure, and structurally sound, with peace of mind built in.

The concrete slab of this garage in White Lake, WI was sinking so bad that it was actually separating away from garage itself, causing a major opening between the floor and walls. Obviously, this was a major problem for the homeowner. The gap would let cold air in, the warm air out, and made an easy path for critters to enter.
To solve the homeowner's issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level the concrete which in turn closed the open gap, 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.
