Before & After Photos

Facing a serious concern, this Merrill, WI homeowner was worried their 1900's home with a fieldstone foundation might collapse due to severely sagging floors, supported only by wood and blocks. Luckily, our team at Sure-Dry jumped in, providing a solid, dependable fix by installing the SmartJack support system. As you can see in the before and after photos, we transformed a precarious foundation into a safe, stable base, ensuring peace of mind and a secure future for the home.

Before

This Merrill, WI home was experiencing major floor issues, with noticeable sagging and movement caused by inadequate support from below. The basement needed more than just one additional support point—the floor system required stabilization across multiple areas to properly support the structure above.

After

Sure-Dry installed multiple SmartJack® Support Posts throughout the basement. The SmartJack system provides strong, adjustable support beneath the home's beams and floor joists, helping stabilize the sagging floor system and providing a more dependable support structure for the home above.

Before

This Merrill, WI home had a poured concrete foundation wall showing signs of movement and cracking. Foundation wall problems can worsen over time as pressure from the surrounding soils continues to push against the foundation, making stabilization important before additional movement occurs.

After

Sure-Dry installed CarbonArmor® to stabilize and reinforce the poured concrete foundation wall. The strong carbon-fiber straps are bonded directly to the wall to help prevent further inward movement without the need for bulky steel beams.

CarbonArmor has a low-profile design that takes up very little basement space while providing permanent reinforcement for the affected foundation wall.

Before

This Merrill, WI home had multiple structural concerns in the basement. The foundation walls needed stabilization, while the floor system above was also showing signs of inadequate support. With problems affecting both the walls and floors, the home needed a more comprehensive structural repair.

After

Sure-Dry installed the EverBrace® Wall Restoration System to permanently stabilize the damaged foundation walls. The system uses steel beams and specialized wall panels to reinforce foundation walls that have deteriorated beyond what other stabilization methods can address.

Multiple SmartJack® Support Posts were also installed beneath the floor system to stabilize the beams and joists above.

Together, these systems provide this Merrill home with stronger foundation walls and dependable support beneath the floors.

Before

This Merrill, WI home had a block foundation wall showing signs of structural movement. Cracking and bowing in concrete block walls can develop when pressure from the surrounding soil becomes greater than the wall can resist, and the problem can continue to worsen if the wall isn't stabilized.

After

Sure-Dry installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the block foundation wall. The system connects steel wall plates inside the basement to heavy-duty earth anchors installed in stable soil away from the foundation.

Once tightened, the GeoLock system provides strong lateral support to help prevent additional inward movement. In appropriate conditions, the system can also be adjusted over time to potentially improve the wall's position.
