Before & After Photos

The best way to try and forget about a problem is to hide it. For homeowners in Menasha, WI their problem couldn't be hidden anymore. Their hanging ceilings had begun to move in due to the walls bowing in that they covered.

To fix the bowing walls, we installed 13 GeoLocks around their basement. GeoLocks will restrict the wall from bowing any farther, while also overtime can be tightened to help pull the wall back. 

Homeowners in Menasha, WI after purchasing their new home, found out that the previous owner had covered up bowed foundation walls. 

To resolve the problem, our team installed 6 GeoLocks on the foundation wall. These locks latch on to the hard compacted soil outside of the home. It then uses that compaction to pull the wall back to its upright position. 

These homeowners were furious that they had to deal with these problems but after our team stepped in and helped, they couldn't be happier with the results. 

These homeowners had noticed that the drywall in their finished basement had started to crack, and there was visible water on the wall and floors, which they were concerned about. After a thorough inspection and removal of the drywall, it was determined that the foundation walls had indeed cracked and were starting to bow in which was causing the issue. To fix this issue and prevent further damage, Sure-Dry was able to fill in the cracks and install the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, a state-of-the-art carbon fiber system to stabilize the foundation walls. The homeowners were thrilled that the issue was fixed, and they could go back to enjoying their home.

Julie & Brad of Wrightstown, WI noticed a crack in one of their basement walls.  After further inspection, they also noticed that the wall was bowing in.  What was causing this? 

Foundation walls move inward primarily due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside. However, foundation walls may also crack due to many other outside causes, including foundation settlement. Our foundation experts will accurately identify the cause of your home's foundation problems.  In Julie and Brad's case, the wet, expansive soil around the home's foundation was pushing on the wall, causing the bowing and cracking.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to restore Julie & Brad's piece of mind with their GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  The Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement.  Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position.
