Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Woodruff, WI noticed stairstep cracks forming along a block foundation wall and became increasingly concerned when sections of the wall began showing signs of movement. These warning signs are commonly associated with foundation settlement and lateral soil pressure, which can place significant stress on masonry foundation walls over time. Wanting to prevent further structural damage, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted foundation repair company serving Northern Wisconsin.

During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated the foundation wall and confirmed that exterior soil pressure was contributing to the cracking and displacement. If left uncorrected, the movement could continue to worsen, resulting in additional structural concerns and more extensive foundation repair needs in the future.

After

To stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, Sure-Dry installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. This proven foundation repair solution uses steel earth anchors installed in stable soil away from the home and connected to heavy-duty steel wall plates inside the basement. Once tensioned, the system helps counteract lateral soil pressure and provides long-term stabilization for the affected wall.

After the installation was complete, our crew restored the disturbed exterior areas and re-seeded the lawn to help return the property to its original condition. The homeowner now has a stabilized foundation wall and added peace of mind knowing their home is protected by a reliable foundation repair solution designed to withstand Wisconsin's challenging soil and weather conditions.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI was dealing with water seeping along the basement perimeter during heavy rains. The finished floor showed damp spots near the baseboards, and small cracks along the cove joint allowed moisture to creep in from hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab. The existing sump system was undersized and frequently overwhelmed, leaving the basement musty and unusable after storms.

After:
To create a permanent solution, our team installed a DryTrak® baseboard drainage system around the basement’s interior perimeter to collect seepage and channel it directly to a new SuperSump® Premier Sump System. The sealed SuperSump liner and high-performance pump provide reliable removal of groundwater while keeping moisture and odors sealed below the lid.

Now, the Ripon basement stays dry and protected—even after the heaviest rainfall—restoring full use of the space with a clean, low-profile waterproofing system.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI wanted to improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout their home after noticing cold floors and musty air rising from the crawl space. The original fiberglass insulation was sagging, damp, and falling from the joists—trapping moisture rather than blocking it. The unconditioned space was allowing heat loss in winter and humidity buildup year-round.

After:
To solve the problem and create lasting efficiency, our team replaced the failing insulation with SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation panels. The panels were fastened directly to the crawl space walls to create a continuous thermal and radiant barrier, reflecting heat back into the home and sealing off exterior temperature influence.

Now, the Ripon home’s crawl space is clean, insulated, and energy-efficient—keeping floors warmer, humidity lower, and utility costs under control.

A homeowner in Waupun, WI was dealing with a chronically wet basement. After heavy rain, water entered along the cove joint where the floor met the wall, pooling several feet into the space. The block foundation showed signs of seepage and mineral staining, and the existing sump system could not keep up—leaving standing water and damp air that threatened storage and air quality.

After:
To solve the problem and keep the basement dry year-round, our team installed a full WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system along the footing to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. A new UltraSump® system was set in a sealed liner with IceGuard® and a buried discharge line to ensure reliable pumping even in freezing conditions. Finally, a CleanSpace® wall system was applied to direct moisture into the drain and create a bright, clean finish.

Now, the Waupun basement remains dry, protected, and ready for safe use—no matter the season.
