Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a crawl space with exposed earth, elevated humidity, and cold surfaces that allowed moisture and unconditioned air to affect the home above. Damp conditions and uninsulated crawl space walls contributed to musty odors, energy loss, and concerns about long-term wood and air quality issues.
Inspection confirmed poor vapor control, inadequate insulation, and high humidity levels common in northeastern Wisconsin’s seasonal climate.

After
Sure-Dry completed a crawl space encapsulation and conditioning solution using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawl space floor and walls, blocking ground moisture from entering the space. SilverGlo® insulation was installed to insulate the crawl space walls, improving thermal performance and helping maintain consistent temperatures. To control moisture long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity and keep the crawlspace dry year-round.
The crawl space is now sealed, insulated, and conditioned, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and overall indoor air quality.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI noticed sections of their concrete driveway and the side walkway had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces that made walking less safe and impacted the overall appearance of the home. The sunken slabs also allowed water to collect in low areas, increasing the potential for additional soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist confirmed the concrete remained structurally sound, but voids had developed beneath the slabs due to soil settlement. This is a common issue throughout Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions cause supporting soils to shift. Rather than replacing the concrete, we recommended lifting and permanently stabilizing the existing slabs.

After

Our crew restored the driveway and side walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely raise the settled concrete back toward its original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, and cures in minutes, allowing the concrete to be used again quickly while providing long-term stabilization beneath the slabs. Once the concrete was properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs, reducing the risk of future erosion and settlement. The homeowner now has safer walking surfaces, improved drainage, and enhanced curb appeal without the cost and disruption of replacing the existing concrete.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI was frustrated with the condition of their concrete driveway, adjoining sidewalk, and front steps. Years of settlement had left multiple slabs uneven, while several deep cracks throughout the concrete created safety concerns and detracted from the home's appearance. The sunken slabs also allowed water to collect, increasing the likelihood of continued soil erosion beneath the concrete. During our inspection, our concrete leveling specialist confirmed the slabs were structurally sound despite the extensive cracking and settlement. Like many Wisconsin homes, freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had caused the supporting soils to shift over time. Instead of replacing the concrete, we recommended lifting, stabilizing, and sealing the existing slabs.

After

Our production team restored the driveway, adjoining sidewalk, and front steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift the settled slabs back toward their original position. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), PolyLevel is lightweight, waterproof, cures in minutes, and won't place unnecessary weight on the supporting soils, making it an ideal long-term concrete lifting solution. After leveling was complete, our crew sealed the deep cracks and concrete joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water intrusion beneath the slabs and reduce the risk of future erosion and settlement. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive entrance with restored concrete that is built to perform through Wisconsin's changing seasons.

Before
The crawl space beneath this Shawano, WI home was exposed to excess ground moisture, elevated humidity, and unsealed foundation vents that allowed damp outside air to enter year-round. These conditions created the perfect environment for musty odors, condensation, and the potential for mold growth while also reducing the home's energy efficiency. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist measured moisture levels, evaluated the condition of the crawl space, and identified areas where Wisconsin's seasonal temperature swings and freeze-thaw conditions were contributing to ongoing moisture problems. To permanently isolate the crawl space from the earth below, Sure-Dry recommended installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System along with a reliable SuperSump Sump Pump System.
After
Our installation team transformed the crawl space by covering the floor and foundation walls with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, creating a durable moisture barrier designed to help prevent water vapor from entering the space. To efficiently remove groundwater, the crew installed a SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing dependable water evacuation and helping keep the crawl space dry throughout the year. Together, these systems created a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient crawl space while helping protect the home's structure from excessive moisture. The homeowners now have greater peace of mind knowing their crawl space repair was completed with a long-term solution built for Wisconsin conditions.

Before
The foundation of this lake home in Shawano, WI had begun to settle, causing visible signs of structural movement throughout the property. The homeowner noticed cracks developing in the foundation and interior finishes, along with doors and windows that no longer operated properly. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist documented the settlement, evaluated load-bearing points, and identified unstable supporting soils that had contributed to the foundation movement. Freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture levels common around Wisconsin lakefront properties had accelerated the settlement. To permanently stabilize and help restore the home's foundation, Sure-Dry recommended installing Push Pier Systems.

After
Our foundation repair crew installed engineered Push Pier Systems at carefully selected load-bearing locations around the failing foundation. Each pier was hydraulically advanced to competent load-bearing strata before controlled lifting attempts were made to help recover portions of the settlement where practical. Unlike temporary repairs, push piers permanently transfer the home's weight beyond unstable surface soils, providing long-term structural support. Once the installation was complete, the foundation was stabilized to help prevent additional settlement, giving the homeowners confidence that their lake home now rests on a far more secure foundation.
