Before & After Photos

In Wausaukee, WI, a home faced wall failure, risking structural safety. As seen in the before photo, the foundation wall was compromised. Our skilled team at Sure-Dry implemented the GeoLock Wall Anchor System®, an effective foundation repair solution, stabilizing the wall securely in place. Using steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil, connected via galvanized steel rods, this system prevents any further wall movement and restores peace of mind. As shown in the after photo, the structure is now protected, underlining our expertise in ensuring lasting solutions and improved structural integrity.

Before: The homeowner in Brussels, WI noticed sloping floors and doors that no longer aligned properly. Inspection revealed that the wooden support posts in the crawl space had settled into the soil, leaving the main beam inadequately supported and allowing the floor above to sag. Moisture and soil movement over time had weakened the original supports, contributing to structural instability.

After: SmartJack® steel supports were installed on engineered bases to replace the failing posts. Each jack was adjusted to lift and level the floor system, restoring uniform support to the home’s structure.

The result was a solid, level floor and lasting stability, with the SmartJack system providing adjustable reinforcement for future reliability.

Before
The basement in this Pembine, WI home showed signs of lateral foundation movement, including horizontal cracking and inward bowing along the block walls. Expansive soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles had placed continued pressure on the foundation, creating structural concerns and visible wall displacement. The homeowner began searching for foundation repair near me after noticing cracking that continued to widen—clear indicators that professional foundation repair Wisconsin service was needed.
These symptoms pointed to ongoing soil pressure requiring a permanent foundation repair contractor solution to prevent further structural movement.

After
Sure-Dry permanently stabilized the foundation using GeoLock® Wall Anchors, a proven wall anchor installation Wisconsin solution designed to counteract external soil pressure. Steel earth anchors were embedded in stable soil beyond the foundation wall and connected to interior steel wall plates, then mechanically tightened to immediately stabilize the structure and allow for potential wall straightening over time.
The foundation walls are now structurally secured, preventing further inward movement and restoring long-term stability to the home.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI noticed sagging floors and bounce throughout the main level of the home, with the issue traced back to the crawl space below. Upon inspection, undersized and settling support posts were no longer providing adequate structural support, allowing floor joists to deflect over time. These conditions are common in northern Wisconsin homes where soil conditions and aging supports contribute to uneven floors and reduced structural performance.

After
Sure-Dry installed SmartJack® adjustable steel support posts to stabilize the crawl space and restore proper support to the floor system above. Each SmartJack was installed on a reinforced footing and adjusted to lift and permanently support the sagging beams and joists, improving load transfer and floor stability. The system was designed to provide long-term structural support while allowing for future adjustment if needed.
The homeowner now has solid, stable floors and confidence in the structural integrity of their home.

Before
The homeowner in Marinette, WI was remodeling a finished basement to add a new bedroom but lacked a code-compliant emergency escape and rescue opening. The existing basement window did not meet egress requirements for size, height, or accessibility, creating a safety concern and preventing the space from being used legally as a bedroom.
Inspection confirmed that a properly sized opening, window well, and drainage solution were needed to meet local building codes and provide safe emergency exit.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full RockWell Egress Window system, including precise foundation cutting, a properly sized window opening, and a secure window well designed for safe exit and natural light. The installation was completed to integrate cleanly with the existing finished basement layout while meeting all egress requirements for the new bedroom.
The basement bedroom is now code-compliant, brighter, and safer, adding functional living space and long-term value to the home.
