Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Foundation Walls Showing Advanced Signs of Stress

In Hortonville, WI, a homeowner noticed their basement walls were starting to bow inward and develop horizontal cracks. With each passing season—especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles—the issue worsened. The walls were under pressure from expanding soil outside the home, putting the structure at risk.

They had heard horror stories about full foundation replacement and wanted a solution that would repair the damage without tearing up their yard or interior space.

After: Permanent Stability with the Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System

Sure-Dry installed a Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System designed to:

• Halt inward wall movement immediately

• Restore structural integrity

• Gradually straighten walls over time, if needed

Each anchor system included galvanized steel rods that extended from interior wall plates to stable soil several feet from the foundation. This powerful system not only stabilized the wall—it gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing they had a long-term solution in place.

The basement is now dry, safe, and stable—no more widening cracks or worrying signs of failure.

Before: A Damp, Musty Basement in Need of a Permanent Fix

A homeowner in Hortonville, WI was frustrated with recurring water issues in their basement. After nearly every rainfall, water would seep in where the wall met the floor. The basement smelled musty, the floor was often damp, and stored belongings were constantly at risk.

With no sump pump and no drainage system in place, the moisture was getting worse with time—and traditional patch fixes weren’t working.

After: A Dry, Protected Basement Thanks to Sure-Dry

Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to intercept water at its entry point and direct it safely to a newly installed UltraSump® battery backup sump pump system.

Highlights of the system:

• WaterGuard sits just below the basement floor to collect and redirect water before it reaches the surface.

• UltraSump provides powerful primary pumping capacity with backup power in case of outages.

• The installation was completed quickly and cleanly, with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine.

Now the basement is dry, odor-free, and protected—even during storms or power outages.

Before: Sunken Concrete and Cracked Joints Threaten Safety and Appearance

A homeowner in Hortonville, WI reached out to Sure-Dry with concerns about their uneven driveway and front walkway. Over time, soil settlement had caused concrete slabs to sink, creating tripping hazards and unsightly gaps between joints. In addition to structural concerns, water was infiltrating through open joints, further eroding the base soil and threatening long-term damage.

The homeowner wanted a clean, lasting fix—but without the cost and disruption of full concrete replacement.

After: Lifted, Sealed, and Protected

Sure-Dry provided a complete three-part concrete solution:

• PolyLevel® foam injection was used to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs quickly and precisely.

• NexusPro® joint and crack sealant filled and protected the control joints and cracks, preventing further water intrusion.

• SealantPro® concrete sealant was applied to preserve and protect the surface from moisture, oil, and seasonal wear.

The result was a smooth, level, and visually refreshed concrete surface—safe, sealed, and protected for years to come.
