Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

This crawl space was suffering from severe water, moisture and foul-smelling odors issues, which was effective in the home above. To remedy these issues, we cleaned up the extra dirt and debris and then installed a combination of CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and Drainage Matting to collect any water and safely and effectively carry it back outside. These updates will not only keep the crawl space cleaner and drier but will also make the floors above it much more comfortable.

When a homeowner in Waupaca noticed their concrete driveway beginning to sink, signaling trouble on the horizon, they turned to us at Sure-Dry. Our team swiftly addressed the issue, employing PolyLevel injection to elevate and stabilize the sinking concrete, as vividly illustrated in these before and after photos. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the driveway has been remarkably restored, ensuring a safe, aesthetically pleasing, and durable surface for years to come, all while delivering a seamless and worry-free experience for the homeowner.

Before: Settling Garage Aprons Caused a Rough Entry

In Waupaca, this homeowner had issues at both their attached and detached garage aprons. Over time, the concrete in front of each garage had sunk, creating a noticeable dip that made driving in and out frustrating—and even a little risky. Open joints were also letting in water, which only made the settling worse with each freeze-thaw cycle.

They wanted everything lifted and sealed to prevent further damage and restore a smoother entry.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Fully Sealed

We raised the sunken slabs at both garage aprons using PolyLevel®, which quickly and cleanly lifts concrete back to its proper height. Then, we sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, long-lasting sealant that keeps water out and helps protect the repair long-term.

Now both garage entries are smooth, solid, and sealed—safe to drive on and protected from future settling.

Before
In Waupaca, WI, the homeowner wanted to finish the basement into a safe and livable space but had only small, non-compliant windows that offered no emergency escape route or natural light. The foundation wall suitable for installation was partially below grade with dense soil conditions, requiring careful excavation and drainage planning to prevent future water issues. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist evaluated the structure and confirmed that a full egress window installation was necessary to meet Wisconsin building code and ensure basement safety.

After
Sure-Dry’s certified crew excavated the area outside the foundation and used precision-cutting methods to create a clean opening for the new egress system. A durable, insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, rust-resistant window well featuring proper drainage tied into the home’s waterproofing system. After backfilling and restoring the exterior grade, the new window provided both a compliant emergency exit and significantly more daylight and ventilation.
The homeowner was pleased to have a safe, code-approved basement that now feels open, bright, and ready for finishing.

Before

A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had several sections of their back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving the slabs uneven and creating noticeable trip hazards. The sunken concrete also allowed water to collect in the low areas instead of draining away from the home. Like many outdoor concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, the patio had been affected by soil settlement and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, causing the slabs to sink while remaining structurally sound.

After

Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and level the settled slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding excessive weight beneath the concrete. Once the patio was returned to a level position, the homeowner once again had a safer, more attractive outdoor space with improved drainage and no need for costly concrete replacement.
