Before, a Sherwood homeowner faced the unnerving sight of severe horizontal cracks and bowing walls in their basement, visible evidence of a foundation under stress. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the after photo shines a bright light on a stable, reinstated foundation, courtesy of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. As you can see, beyond fixing the structure, we've also installed a dependable WaterGuard system, effectively channeling water into the existing sump pump, ensuring peace of mind during even the heaviest of rains.
Before:
A homeowner in Sherwood began noticing horizontal and stair-step cracks forming in their poured concrete foundation about five to six years ago. Over time, one basement wall showed visible inward movement, a sign of lateral pressure from expanding soils around the home. The displacement had worsened gradually, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.
After:
A PowerBrace™ wall reinforcement system was installed to stabilize the bowing wall and prevent further movement. Each steel I-beam was secured at the floor joists and along the footing to distribute loads evenly and allow future tightening.
The wall is now fully supported, restoring structural integrity and giving the homeowner peace of mind about the foundation’s stability.
To stabilize a home's foundation, the GeoLocks are the best solution, however, they aren't the prettiest view for a finished basement which is why we have the Hide A Way Covers. These covers fit perfectly over the GeoLocks leaving a clean, presentable look while also guaranteeing a stable foundation, it's the perfect solution!
Before:
A homeowner in Chilton noticed one basement wall beginning to bow inward, with horizontal cracking along the mortar joints. The displacement suggested foundation movement caused by exterior soil pressure, creating concern about future structural stability.
After:
A PowerBrace™ wall stabilization system was installed along the affected wall to halt movement and gradually restore alignment. The galvanized steel I-beams were anchored to the basement floor and floor joists for consistent reinforcement.
The wall is now secure, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the foundation is stabilized.
When a homeowner in Bonduel, WI, contacted us wanting to fully utilize their basement space, their main stumbling block was a compromised foundation, as you can see in the 'before' photo. Our solution? Installation of the PowerBrace system. Notice in the 'after' photo how these steel I-beams stabilized the walls without intrusive excavation. This repair not only secured the home's foundation but also opened up new possibilities for the basement area.
