Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In these before-and-after snapshots from South Range, WI, witness a remarkable transformation. The homeowner faced a dual challenge: concerning foundation issues and troubling basement flooding—issues that needed immediate attention to ensure the home's stability and peace of mind, especially before handing the keys over to a family member. The visible signs of caving walls and water intrusion, as seen in the ‘before’ photo, demanded an urgent and reliable solution. Our expertise led us to implement a comprehensive approach, combining the PowerBrace™, GeoLock™ Wall Anchor, and GeoLock™ Channel Anchor to stabilize the foundation. Additionally, to tackle the flooding, we installed the WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® systems, followed by the robust protection of our UltraSump™ System. As seen in the ‘after’ photo, the structure’s integrity has been fully restored, with the basement transformed into a secure, dry space. This is more than just an aesthetic improvement—it's a testament to our commitment to providing lasting, reliable solutions, ensuring a safe foundation for family memories to be securely built upon for years to come.
