Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces. This was the case for the concrete walkway of this home in Mishicot, WI.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems provided for this walkway an expert concrete repair solution using their PolyLevel® system. PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

After a heavy rain, these homeowners in Two Rivers, WI went down into their basement and saw what all homeowners pray they don't see after a heavy rain...water.  With water seeping in between the footing and the block foundation wall, they soon realized they needed something in place to catch the water coming and a system to drain it out and away from their home. 

Sure-Dry Basement Systems restored their piece of mind by installing a comprehensive system that provided them with complete water protection.  First, a sump pump was installed that allowed any water coming into the home to drain and discharge away from the house.  Sure-Dry then installed their WaterGuard water drainage system to catch the water coming in from between the footing and the wall, and direct that water to the sump pump where it would drain and discharge away from the home. 

To create a vapor barrier between the basement walls and the house and to catch any water coming in from the walls and direct to the WaterGuard System, Sure-Dry installed their patented BrightWall basement wall panels.  

BrightWall® is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.

Before: 1920s Basement with Serious Structural Issues

This home in Two Rivers, WI has some colorful history—it was once a Prohibition-era speakeasy in the 1920s. But behind the charm, the basement was showing serious signs of structural trouble. The block foundation walls were in stage 3 failure, with bowing, stair-step cracking, and visible movement. On top of that, water intrusion was a constant issue, and moisture was affecting the space year-round.

After: Structurally Sound, Dry & Ready for the Next 100 Years

To save the foundation and waterproof the basement for good, the Sure-Dry team installed a comprehensive solution:

• GeoLock® Wall Anchors, CarbonArmor® wall straps, and PowerBraces™ to stabilize different sections of the block wall depending on the severity of movement

• WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture and redirect incoming water

• A SuperSump® Plus sump pump for reliable water removal

• RimTight® insulation to seal off rim joists and improve energy efficiency

• Our licensed Master Plumber relocated the home’s water heater and pressure tank to allow for system installation and proper layout

Now the basement is dry, secure, and reinforced from every angle—ready to stand strong for another century.
