Before & After Photos

After receiving a call from homeowners in Green Bay, WI about their sunken floors, our Sure-Dry team was ready to work.

Once we arrived at their home for their free estimate and inspection, we discovered where the problem was coming from. Their crawlspace support beams were made of wood and over time wood will begin to mold and rot away which will make the floor above sink. To fix the problem, our production crew installed 10 SmartJacks to their crawlspace. These will replace the old wooden beams with galvanized steel beams that will not rot away. They will also straighten and raise the sunken floor above to its normal location.

Team Sure-Dry fixed a problem that these homeowners didn't know had a solution leaving them very, very pleased with our crew.

PowerBraces were used in this job to stabilize their basement walls. These walls over time, due to the pressure of the soil on the concrete walls outside, has forced the walls to bow into the home.

Our crew reinforced these walls with 13 PowerBraces. These galvanized steel beams have the power and strength to push the wall back to its original up right position. 

The block foundation walls of this home in Green Bay, WI were cracked and bowing inward due hydrostatic pressure - pressure from the water in the soil surrounding the home's foundation.  

To fix the issue, Sure-Dry installed their PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

If you have walls that are bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards, installing a PowerBrace system can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall.

This block wall foundation was suffering from stair-step cracks and was starting to bow inward. To fix this issue and ensure it didn't get any worse, Sure-Dry installed a CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the walls. 

The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. Using the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers developed to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers, and bridges, we use CarbonArmor® to stabilize your basement walls.

The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. The straps will stabilize the wall. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces. And that's exactly what happened to the concrete walkway leading to the front step of this home in Green Bay, WI.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level this concrete walkway using their PolyLevel® system. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
