Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI began noticing visible horizontal cracking and inward bowing along multiple basement walls. The movement had worsened after heavy rains, and parts of the finished basement showed drywall separation and uneven floors above. With signs of both lateral and vertical shifting, the foundation required a structural repair plan capable of addressing different failure modes.

After:
To stabilize and reinforce the structure, our team installed a combination of GeoLock® Wall Anchors and PowerBrace™ Support Beams. GeoLocks were used where exterior access allowed anchor installation into stable soil beyond the backfill zone, immediately halting wall movement and enabling future tightening. In tighter areas with no dig access, PowerBraces were mounted floor-to-joist—providing strong interior-only stabilization.

Now, the Combined Locks home has a fully supported foundation with a plan for gradual realignment and long-term protection against soil pressure and structural movement.

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI was dealing with ongoing basement water problems every time it rained or snow melted. Water entered along the perimeter where the floor met the wall, leaving damp spots and musty odors. The existing sump system was outdated and couldn’t keep up with the volume, leading to standing water and high humidity throughout the lower level.

After:
To permanently fix the issue, our team installed a complete WaterGuard® interior drainage system tied into a TripleSafe® Sump System for maximum pumping capacity and redundancy. Outside, an IceGuard® discharge fitting was added to protect against winter freeze-ups and prevent backups during cold weather.

Now, the Combined Locks basement stays consistently dry and protected, no matter the season—giving the homeowners peace of mind and a clean, usable space year-round.

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI noticed several uneven areas across their concrete driveway and front walkway. Settlement over time had created visible height differences between slabs, making for uncomfortable transitions and potential trip hazards. The open expansion joints and surface cracks were also allowing water to seep below the slabs, further weakening the soil and contributing to continued movement.

After:
To restore safety and appearance, our team injected PolyLevel® expanding foam beneath the settled sections to lift and stabilize the concrete back to its proper height. Once leveled, all joints and cracks were cleaned and sealed with NexusPro® silicone sealant to block water intrusion and protect against future freeze–thaw damage.

Now, the Combined Locks driveway and walkway are smooth, even, and watertight—improving both curb appeal and long-term durability.
