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.

When the Oshkosh homeowner discovered their failing foundation, they knew who to call. Trusting in our expertise, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. As you can see in the before photo, the issue was undeniable. But now, glance at the after photo - our reliable solution shines through. We installed GeoLock Wall Anchors, PowerBraces, and GeoLock Channel Anchors, transforming uncertainty into solid stability. Our mission was clear - ensure a remarkable experience by providing a steadfast foundation repair that lasts.

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.

All debris and installation materials were meticulously cleared, leaving the home spotless. By choosing Sure-Dry, the homeowner in Oshkosh gained a proven foundation repair solution and experienced firsthand the dedication and expertise that defines our service.

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.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a combination of CarbonArmor® reinforcement straps and GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize and permanently secure the compromised walls. 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.

Having a stable and safe home is very important to many homeowners, especially homeowners in Fond du Lac, WI. The floor above their crawlspace was sagging in various locations and they were in desperate need for Sure-Dry's help.

The crew arrived with 21 SmartJacks and 15 Supplemental Beams to install in their crawlspace. These products made of galvanized steel will never rust or corrode. The heavy-duty SmartJacks permanently stabilize the floor, floor joists, and the new steel support beams. They work best in lifting the floor above to its correct level. 

These homeowners are pleased to know the structure of their home is in good hands and that they can enjoy the home they've created for their family without any worries!
