The Problem: A Failing Foundation Wall

This Wichita homeowner contacted Dry Basement® after noticing major structural concerns in their basement. The rear foundation wall had begun bowing inward, a common issue in Kansas due to:

  • Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil

  • Expansive clay soils, which expand and contract with moisture

  • Poor exterior drainage and maintenance

Over time, these forces created visible cracks in the wall and compromised the stability of the entire basement. The damage could have led to serious safety risks and costly future repairs without prompt action.

The Solution: A Waterproofing Strategy

Dry Basement® recommended a two-part solution—addressing both the structural issues and the water intrusion fueling them.

Structural Reinforcement with the HHIO Bracing System

We installed our patented HHIO Bracing System, custom-engineered to deliver exceptional lateral wall support. The installation included:

  • Twin box beams anchored to the foundation footings

  • All-thread tension rods secured to the floor joists using block backs

  • Over 10,000 pounds of back-force per foot applied to stabilize the wall permanently

This powerful system restored the structural integrity of the wall while preventing future inward movement.

Waterproofing with the NoWater System and Dual Sump Pump Pack

To eliminate the root cause—water—we sealed existing cracks with high-grade polyurethane injections, creating a waterproof barrier. Then we installed our NoWater System.

A Lifetime of Peace of Mind

Backed by a 42-year transferable warranty, this homeowner now enjoys a clean, dry basement and a stable foundation — without worry. With over 50 years of field-proven expertise, Dry Basement continues to deliver results that last.
