Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
In Rhinelander, WI, a home built on a former city lot was showing significant settlement as buried debris and uncompacted fill beneath the foundation began to break down. The homeowner reported sloping floors, widening cracks above doorways, and a noticeable drop along the perimeter wall—classic symptoms of differential settlement caused by weak, inconsistent soils. The structure continued to sink unevenly as seasonal moisture cycles shifted the unstable material below.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of Push Piers to transfer the home’s load past the buried debris and down to stable, load-bearing strata. Each pier was hydraulically driven to refusal pressure, verified by monitored load readings to confirm adequate bearing capacity. Once proper depth and resistance were achieved, the crew performed a controlled lift to recover lost elevation and stabilize the foundation.
The home is now fully supported against future movement—an essential solution for properties across Oneida County where older infill lots often hide deep, unstable debris layers.

In the heart of Rhinelander, WI, a homeowner faced the unsettling signs of a failing foundation: cracked walls and uneven floors sending shivers down their spine. Feeling anxious about the safety and stability of their home, they turned to Sure-Dry for guidance and assurance.

From the moment they contacted us, our dedicated Customer Care Specialist was there to listen and schedule their inspection appointment promptly. At their home, our System Design Specialist conducted a comprehensive assessment, identifying foundation settlement as the root cause of their distress. With sincerity and expertise, we walked the homeowner through our suggested solution: the installation of our Helical Pier System.

As our experienced production team arrived on site, they were met with a mix of tension and cautious hope from the homeowner. With a careful and measured approach, the team began the installation of engineered steel piers. Starting near the foundation, they thoughtfully “screwed” the piers deep into the earth, adding sections until stable, weight-bearing soils were reached. This expertly executed process rechanneled the home’s weight onto secure ground, ensuring lasting stability and resilience against future settlement.

By the time our team meticulously cleaned up and said their goodbyes, the transformation was incredible. Not only was the homeowner's foundation stabilized, but they found renewed confidence and peace of mind—a restoration as profound as any seen by Dutch masters. They witnessed firsthand why our trusted solutions and heart-first service makes a real difference.

The story of this Rhinelander foundation repair isn’t just about structural renewal; it’s about lives changed and worries quelled. At Sure-Dry, every project is an opportunity to fortify your home and the well-being of those within it.

Before

Before
A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing significant cracking and uneven settling across their garage floor. The slab had developed multiple wide cracks and sections had sunk, creating both a safety concern and difficulty using the space. These conditions are common in northern Wisconsin, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement lead many homeowners to search for concrete lifting, concrete leveling contractor, or even mudjacking as a potential fix. The garage floor showed clear signs of soil settlement beneath the slab, with voids forming that allowed the concrete to shift and deteriorate over time.

After
Sure-Dry corrected the issue using the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the sunken sections of the garage floor with precision. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill voids, and cures quickly, making it a more durable and less invasive concrete lifting solution. Once the floor was restored to a level position, the team applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and joints, preventing water from entering and causing future damage.
The result is a smooth, stable garage floor that is safer to use and protected against further settlement.

The homeowner now has a restored garage surface with improved durability and long-term performance.

Before
A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI reached out after noticing uneven concrete along the garage apron and the wraparound walkway leading to the front door of their log home. Over time, sections had settled and separated, creating tripping hazards and allowing water to drain back toward the home. These are common issues in northern Wisconsin, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement often lead homeowners to search for concrete lifting, concrete leveling contractor, or even mudjacking as a temporary fix. The visible sinking and joint separation indicated voids beneath the slabs, contributing to ongoing movement and deterioration.

After
Sure-Dry addressed the problem using the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the garage apron and walkway sections with precision. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill underlying voids, and cures quickly—making it a more efficient and long-lasting concrete lifting solution. Once the slabs were restored to proper elevation, the team applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal all joints and cracks, preventing water intrusion and helping protect against future soil erosion beneath the concrete.
The result is a smooth, level surface that improves both safety and drainage around the home.

The homeowner now has a stable, restored entry path and garage apron that complements the log home and provides long-term durability.
