Before & After Photos

In Waldo, WI, homeowners noticed concerning movement in their basement wall, threatening the stability of their property. As you see in the before photo, this issue was critical. Using our GeoLock Wall Anchor system, we provided a reliable solution by embedding heavy-duty earth anchors in stable soil. Connected with galvanized steel rods, these anchors reinforce the walls efficiently, ensuring stability and reducing further inward movement. As seen in the after photo, Sure-Dry successfully restored both the wall's integrity and the homeowner's peace of mind—demonstrating why our foundation repair solutions are trusted and proven.

Before:

A homeowner in Plymouth noticed cracks forming along their foundation walls and uneven floors inside the home. Sections of the structure had begun to settle due to unstable soil conditions beneath the foundation, causing growing concern about long-term structural safety and further damage.

After:

Sure-Dry stabilized the foundation using Helical Piers, which were driven deep into stable load-bearing soil to permanently support and lift the settling structure. Once installed, the piers transferred the home’s weight to competent strata below, halting settlement and restoring structural stability.

The homeowner gained confidence knowing their foundation was now permanently secured.

Before

A homeowner in Plymouth, WI wanted to improve their basement by adding a proper egress window. Like many Wisconsin basements, the existing space had limited natural light and lacked the larger window opening that can make a basement feel brighter, more usable and better connected to the rest of the home.

An egress window is more than a cosmetic upgrade. When certain basement areas are used as bedrooms or finished living spaces, an appropriately designed emergency escape and rescue opening can be an important part of meeting applicable building requirements.

Rather than trying to incorporate an egress window later, the homeowner chose to make this important improvement to the basement now.

After

Sure-Dry installed a new egress window system to provide a larger, more functional opening in the basement.

Our crew carefully created the appropriately sized opening through the foundation and installed the new window and exterior window well. Proper installation is especially important because creating an egress opening involves modifying an existing foundation wall while maintaining a secure, weather-resistant opening.

The difference inside the basement is immediately noticeable. The larger window allows significantly more natural light into a space that can otherwise feel dark and enclosed while also providing an important emergency escape and rescue opening.

With the installation complete, this Plymouth homeowner now has a brighter, safer and more functional basement with an improvement that can support how the space is used for years to come.

Before:
A homeowner in Laona noticed several vertical cracks forming along one basement wall. Over time, minor inward bowing began to develop as surrounding soils expanded and pushed against the foundation. Though the movement was limited, the cracks indicated structural stress that could worsen without reinforcement.

After:
The crew installed the CarbonArmor® wall reinforcement system to stabilize the affected wall. Flexible carbon fiber straps were bonded directly to the wall surface with high-strength epoxy, providing exceptional tensile strength without intrusive hardware or excavation.

The system permanently stabilized the wall, preventing further movement and ensuring lasting structural security for the homeowner.
