House Foundation Repair to Stabilize Sagging & Cracking Walls in Tomahawk, WI
Before:
In Tomahawk, WI, a homeowner noticed significant structural issues in the basement, including a bowing foundation wall and interior support beams beginning to sag. Lincoln County’s moisture-heavy, mixed soil conditions contributed to lateral pressure against the basement wall, while organic material beneath the home weakened the support structure. Symptoms included uneven floors, popping drywall seams, and a horizontal crack along the center of the failing wall. Water intrusion along the perimeter was also present during heavy rains, signaling rising hydrostatic pressure around the foundation.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the bowing wall and prevent further inward movement. Technicians also installed SmartJack® supports beneath the sagging areas of the floor system, adjusting each to verified load capacity to restore structural integrity. To address the active water intrusion, Sure-Dry added a comprehensive basement water treatment system to manage seepage and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
The home now has stable walls, level floors, and a dry, protected basement—an essential upgrade for properties across Northern Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.
Cracked Garage Floor Leveled and Cracks Repaired in Tomahawk, WI
Concrete Driveway Repair Contractor in Tomahawk, WI
Before: A homeowner in Tomahawk, WI had a driveway that had become badly cracked, broken, and heavily sunken over the years. Several slabs had dropped enough that driving into the garage had become rough and uneven, and parts of the driveway were holding standing water after rain and snowmelt. Large cracks and shifting sections of concrete had also started separating farther apart each season, making the driveway look worn down and neglected.
Like many homes throughout Lincoln County and Northern Wisconsin, years of freeze-thaw weather and moisture working underneath the slabs had slowly caused the supporting soils to settle and wash out. The homeowner wanted to avoid the expense and disruption of completely replacing the driveway and started looking into concrete lifting and concrete leveling instead.
After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the badly settled driveway slabs back closer to level. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise several heavily sunken areas without tearing out the existing driveway. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid adding extra stress to already shifting soils beneath the concrete.
After the lifting work was completed, the cracks and open joints were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the driveway looked much straighter and cleaner, vehicle transitions were smoother, and the severe uneven areas that had become a safety and drainage issue were greatly improved.

Broken Concrete Garage Floor Repair in Tomahawk, WI
Before
This Tomahawk, WI homeowner noticed that sections of their garage floor had settled over time, leaving uneven concrete, visible cracks, and height differences between the slabs. In addition to making the garage look worn, the uneven surface created a tripping hazard and made it more difficult to move equipment, toolboxes, and vehicles in and out of the space. During our inspection, we found that soil movement and erosion beneath the slab had created hidden voids, allowing portions of the concrete to sink. Rather than replacing the garage floor, we recommended repairing it with PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures in minutes, and won't add additional weight to unstable soils while providing precise, long-lasting lifting.
After
Our crew carefully measured the slab elevations and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam through small injection holes to fill the voids beneath the garage floor and accurately lift the settled concrete back into alignment. Once the floor was level, we sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from reaching the supporting soils below. The homeowner now has a smoother, safer garage floor with improved appearance and a durable repair designed to withstand Wisconsin's freeze-thaw conditions.

Concrete Lifting and Leveling in Rosholt, WI
The concrete walkway this home in Rosholt, WI was sunken and uneven due to soil erosion underneath the concrete slabs. On top of that, it was riddled with dangerous, unsightly cracks caused by the shifting and sinking of the concrete.
To lift and level the concrete, Sure-Dry Basement Systems used their PolyLevel® Injection Foam 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.
To repair the cracks in the concrete, Sure-Dry applied their NexusPro Solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout.
