Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

This Antigo, WI garage floor had severe cracking throughout the concrete, with sections of the slab beginning to settle and move independently from one another. The result was an uneven garage floor with wide, highly visible cracks that continued to worsen as the concrete shifted.

Cracking and settlement like this often indicate problems beneath the slab. Poorly compacted soil, erosion, washout, and voids beneath the concrete can leave portions of a garage floor without adequate support. Northern Wisconsin's repeated freeze-thaw cycles can further contribute to movement when moisture reaches the soil beneath the slab.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to stabilize and level the affected sections of the garage floor. Lightweight polyurethane foam was injected beneath the concrete to fill underlying voids and provide controlled lifting where settlement had occurred.

After the slabs were stabilized, NexusPro® was used extensively throughout the garage floor to seal the severe cracks. Sealing these openings helps limit water from traveling through the cracks and reaching the soil beneath the concrete, where additional washout and settlement could occur.

The combination addressed both the movement beneath the concrete and the extensive cracking visible on the surface, resulting in a more stable, level, and protected garage floor.

Before

This Antigo, WI homeowner had settled concrete in several high-traffic areas around the property, including the driveway, front walkway, and the sidewalk leading to the garage service entrance. Multiple slabs had shifted and sunk, leaving uneven transitions between sections of concrete.

These changes can create noticeable trip hazards along walkways and uncomfortable bumps or low spots across a driveway. Settlement commonly develops as soil beneath the concrete compacts or washes away, leaving voids that no longer adequately support the slabs. Northern Wisconsin's rain, snowmelt, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to these changing soil conditions.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled sections throughout the property. Lightweight polyurethane foam was injected beneath the driveway, front walkway, and sidewalk leading to the garage service entrance, filling underlying voids and providing controlled lifting pressure to bring uneven slabs back toward their proper positions.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, uses lightweight material that adds less additional weight to compromised soils, and cures quickly.

Repairing the existing concrete allowed the homeowner to improve several areas of the property without the disruption and expense of tearing out and replacing otherwise usable slabs. The driveway and walkways now have smoother transitions and a more stable surface for everyday use.

Before

The addition on this Antigo, WI home was built over a crawl space that needed better protection from ground moisture, cold temperatures, and outside air. Crawl spaces beneath additions can be especially noticeable inside the home because cold foundation walls and air leakage around the rim joists can contribute to cold floors and uncomfortable rooms above.

Ground moisture was another concern. Without a proper crawl space vapor barrier, moisture from the exposed ground can continually enter the space and contribute to damp or musty conditions beneath the addition.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier that isolates the addition from ground moisture below.

The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels to help reduce heat loss through the crawl space walls.

RimTight® spray foam insulation was then applied around the rim joists to seal gaps and reduce outside air infiltration. This is particularly valuable during Northern Wisconsin winters, when cold air entering around the perimeter of a crawl space can contribute to cold floors in the room above.

Together, CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and RimTight transformed the area beneath the addition into a cleaner, drier, better-insulated crawl space.

Before

This Antigo, WI crawl space needed protection from ground moisture, water intrusion, and Northern Wisconsin's changing temperatures. Without proper encapsulation, moisture from the soil can continually enter a crawl space and contribute to damp conditions, musty odors, and elevated humidity beneath the home.

Groundwater was also a concern, making it important to provide a dedicated way to collect and remove water rather than simply covering the crawl space floor.

After

Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® throughout the crawl space to create a durable vapor barrier between the home and moisture from the ground below.

The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels. This helps reduce heat loss through the crawl space walls and provides additional protection from Antigo's cold winter temperatures.

To manage water entering beneath the home, Sure-Dry installed a SmartSump® crawl space sump pump system. Incoming groundwater can now be collected and pumped safely away rather than accumulating inside the crawl space.

Together, CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and SmartSump provide moisture control, insulation, and water management to create a cleaner, drier, and better-protected crawl space.

Before

This Antigo, WI home had a small crawl space located beneath an addition that needed better protection from ground moisture and Northern Wisconsin's cold temperatures.

Even a small crawl space can affect the living area directly above it. Moisture from exposed soil can contribute to damp or musty conditions, while uninsulated foundation walls can allow cold temperatures to reach the floor system and contribute to uncomfortable floors during the winter.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier between the addition and ground moisture below.

The crawl space foundation walls were also insulated with SilverGlo® rigid insulation panels. SilverGlo helps reduce heat loss through the foundation walls and provides additional thermal protection beneath the addition during Antigo's cold winter months.

Although this was a relatively small area beneath the home, properly encapsulating and insulating it can make a meaningful difference in protecting the space above. The finished crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and better insulated throughout Wisconsin's changing seasons.
