Before & After Photos

The back concrete wall of this garage in Gleason, WI was starting to bow inward, and the homeowner needed a solution to stabilize the wall and restore it to its original position.  

To solve this issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor system.  Wall anchors can repair many bowing wall problems. Soil anchors are placed in the ground outside the home.  Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates.  Wall plates distribute clamping pressure. Tightening nuts on the threaded ends of the rods stabilize the wall for a permanent solution.

Before:
A homeowner in Gleason noticed their basement walls beginning to bow inward, creating cracks and raising serious concerns about the stability of their foundation. The problem was getting worse over time, and they worried that delaying repairs would lead to more costly structural damage.

After:
Our team installed the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System, a steel I-beam system designed to stabilize and gradually straighten failing foundation walls.

With PowerBrace, the homeowner now has a permanent solution that restores stability, prevents further movement, and gives peace of mind about the long-term safety of their home.

After homeowners in Woodruff, WI tried everything they thought of to keep their basement walls from bowing in any further, alas nothing was working so they decided to cede to the experts.

Because this homeowner's yard space on the side of the home was very limited, we knew GeoLocks wouldn't work, which is why we knew the PowerBraces would be the perfect match for their home! PowerBraces made of galvanized steel, which will not mold or rot, will firmly hold the basement wall in place. 

To know their home's foundation is in good condition now, takes one more thing off their plate! 

Before A homeowner in Woodruff, WI contacted Sure-Dry after realizing their finished basement bedroom did not have a code-compliant emergency exit. The existing window opening was undersized and positioned too high to meet Wisconsin egress requirements, creating both a safety concern and limiting the usability of the space. During the inspection, our team measured the opening dimensions and evaluated exterior grading to determine proper well placement and drainage control.
After Our crew carefully excavated the exterior foundation wall and installed a properly sized Egress Window System designed to meet building code requirements for safe emergency escape and rescue access. A durable window well with integrated drainage was installed to prevent water accumulation and protect against basement water intrusion during heavy rain or snowmelt. The new installation improves natural light, ventilation, and safety while increasing the functional living space in the home.
The basement bedroom is now code-compliant, safer, and brighter for long-term use in Woodruff, WI.
