Egress Window Installation Creates Legal Extra Bedroom in Basement of New London, WI
Before:
A homeowner in New London, WI, wanted to install an egress window to make their basement safer and more comfortable for everyday use. The existing basement windows were small, allowing very little natural light, and did not meet safety code for emergency exit. The homeowner wanted a reliable solution that would improve both the appearance and functionality of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.
After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear protective cover to keep out debris and moisture. Drainage stone was added at the base of the well to direct water away from the foundation and ensure long-term protection. The new window dramatically increased natural light, improved ventilation, and provided a safe emergency exit that meets modern code standards.
The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting how the brighter, safer basement now feels like a true extension of their home.

Concrete Repair Completed on Patio in New London, WI
Before: A homeowner in New London, WI noticed the concrete covered patio near the home’s entrance door had started to settle and become uneven over time. Sections of the patio slab had shifted out of alignment, creating tripping hazards and causing water to collect near the entry area during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. The cracking and separation between the concrete joints continued worsening as moisture worked beneath the slab through Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, a common issue throughout Waupaca County where shifting soils gradually weaken support beneath exterior concrete surfaces.
The homeowner began researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete patio repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking methods often use heavier materials that can place additional stress beneath already unstable soils.
After: Sure-Dry repaired the settled patio slab using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the covered concrete patio near the home’s entrance door. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surface. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and designed to resist future washout beneath the slab.
To help protect the repaired concrete from future moisture intrusion, the crew also sealed the patio joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This durable sealant helps reduce water penetration beneath the slab, helping minimize future settlement and deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored safer access to the home’s entrance while improving the appearance and long-term performance of the covered patio area.

Failing Concrete Patio Repaired in New London, WI
Before: A homeowner in New London, WI noticed the concrete patio beneath the home’s roofline near the main entrance had started to settle and crack over time. Sections of the patio slab had become uneven, creating tripping hazards and allowing water to collect near the entrance area during periods of heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. The shifting concrete not only affected the appearance of the covered patio, but also created concerns about long-term stability around a frequently used access point of the home. Settlement like this is common throughout Waupaca County and Central Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions gradually weaken the soils beneath exterior concrete slabs.
The homeowner began researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete patio repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking systems often use heavier materials that can place additional pressure beneath already unstable soils.

This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surface. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and designed to resist future washout beneath the slab.

Cracked and Sunken Concrete Patio Repair in New London, WI
Before
A homeowner in New London, WI was dealing with a settling concrete patio along the back of their home. The patio provided access to both a rear entrance door and a sliding glass door, making the uneven concrete more than just a cosmetic concern. As the slabs settled, uneven areas developed near these frequently used entrances, creating trip hazards and allowing water to collect or move toward the home.
Concrete settlement is common throughout Wisconsin as soils beneath slabs experience moisture changes, erosion and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Traditional mudjacking can require larger injection holes and adds significant weight beneath an already-settling slab, so the homeowner wanted a less invasive approach to restoring the patio.
After
Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the settled patio slabs. Small injection holes were drilled through the concrete so expanding polyurethane could be placed beneath the patio, filling underlying voids while carefully raising the slabs around the rear entrance and sliding glass door. PolyLevel is lightweight, requires smaller injection holes than traditional mudjacking and cures quickly, allowing the repaired area to return to service with minimal disruption.
Once the slabs were properly positioned, NexusPro® was applied to the joints and cracks. This flexible sealant helps reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete, where additional soil erosion and settlement could occur.
The finished patio is more level, the cracks and joints are protected, and the homeowner now has safer, smoother access to both backyard entrances.

Failing Concrete Driveway Repair in New London, WI
Before
A homeowner in New London, WI had settling concrete throughout their driveway and along the sidewalk leading to the front of the home. As individual slabs moved, uneven transitions and cracks developed across these frequently used areas, creating noticeable trip hazards and taking away from the appearance of the property.
In Wisconsin, changes in soil moisture along with repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause the soils supporting concrete to settle, shrink or wash away. This can create voids beneath the slabs, leaving sections of the driveway and sidewalk without the support they need.
After
Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and sidewalk slabs. Through small injection holes, lightweight polyurethane foam was placed beneath the concrete, where it expanded to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the slabs toward their proper positions.
Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel requires smaller injection holes, adds very little additional weight to the underlying soils and cures quickly, allowing the repaired concrete to return to service sooner.
After leveling was completed, NexusPro® was used to seal cracks and joints throughout the repaired areas. The flexible sealant helps keep water from entering beneath the slabs and contributing to additional soil erosion and settlement.
The completed repair created a smoother, more stable driveway and a safer sidewalk leading to the home's front entrance while giving the concrete a cleaner, more finished appearance.
