Before & After Photos

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI began noticing significant movement in their block foundation walls, including stair-step cracking and inward bowing—clear warning signs that often lead homeowners to search for foundation repair Wisconsin or bowing wall repair Wisconsin solutions. Over time, pressure from saturated soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles in Sheboygan County had caused the walls to weaken and shift, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.
As the movement progressed, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about potential failure and the safety of the home. Like many block foundations in Wisconsin, the porous nature of the material combined with expanding soils created ongoing stress against the walls. Without reinforcement, the condition would continue to worsen, making early intervention critical.

After
To stabilize the failing walls, Sure-Dry installed a combination of the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System and the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. The PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System was used on interior walls where floor framing allowed for secure attachment, providing immediate stabilization and the opportunity for gradual wall straightening over time.
In areas where exterior access allowed, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed by embedding steel earth anchors into stable soil beyond the foundation and connecting them to wall plates inside the basement. This system counteracts external pressure and helps pull the walls back toward their original position.
The homeowner now has a permanently stabilized foundation, restoring structural integrity and providing long-term peace of mind.
