Before & After Photos

Before

A homeowner in Appleton, WI had concerns about movement in the poured concrete foundation walls. Even poured foundations can develop cracking, bowing, or inward movement as pressure from surrounding soils builds over time. Wisconsin’s changing soil conditions, heavy rains, snowmelt, and freeze-thaw cycles can all contribute to pressure against foundation walls.

After

Sure-Dry installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the affected foundation walls. The system connects heavy-duty steel wall plates inside the basement to anchors installed in stable soil outside the home, helping prevent additional inward movement. In appropriate conditions, the system can also be tightened over time to potentially improve the position of the walls.

Before
A homeowner in Appleton, WI began noticing signs of foundation failure, including uneven floors and interior doors that were no longer opening and closing properly. These symptoms are common indicators of structural settlement, often caused by weak or shifting soils and inadequate support beneath the home—especially in Wisconsin’s changing seasonal conditions. As the issues progressed, the homeowner searched for a trusted foundation repair company and foundation repair contractor to restore stability.

The root cause was identified as failing support in the crawl space, leading to sagging floor systems above. Uneven floors and sticking doors are key warning signs that additional structural support is needed. Without proper intervention, the problem would continue to worsen, potentially impacting the overall integrity of the home.

After
Sure-Dry installed the SmartJack Structural Support System to stabilize and lift the sagging floor system. This system uses adjustable steel support posts placed on engineered bases to transfer the weight of the home to more stable soil layers below. Installation was completed by certified technicians, carefully restoring support to the weakened areas and addressing the underlying cause of the uneven floors.

With the SmartJack Structural Support System in place, the home is now properly supported and stabilized from below.
The floors are more level, and doors now open and close as intended, restoring functionality and peace of mind for the homeowner.

Before:
A homeowner in Keshena, WI noticed sagging floors and cracks forming along interior walls and door frames. The home’s crawl space had aging supports and shifting soils that no longer provided consistent bearing for the floor system.

After:
To stabilize and support the structure, our team installed our SmartJacks Support System throughout the crawl space. The adjustable system provided immediate reinforcement to the existing girders and a reliable path for future tightening if seasonal movement occurs.
