Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
Water intrusion along one basement wall had become an ongoing problem for this Shawano, WI homeowner. After heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, water would seep in where the floor and wall met, leaving damp concrete and raising concerns about moisture damage to the basement. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist identified water entering at the cove joint, documented moisture readings, and evaluated drainage conditions around the affected wall. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and fluctuating groundwater levels were allowing hydrostatic pressure to force water into the basement. To permanently capture and remove the water before it reached the living space, Sure-Dry recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the problem wall and a SuperSump Sump Pump System.

After
Our basement waterproofing specialists installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the affected basement wall to intercept water entering through the foundation before it could reach the floor. The drainage system was connected to a newly installed SuperSump Sump Pump System, which efficiently collects and pumps groundwater safely away from the home. Unlike traditional drain tile that can clog with soil and debris, WaterGuard is engineered to remain free-flowing while providing reliable long-term performance. The completed basement waterproofing system eliminated water intrusion along the problem wall and gave the homeowners confidence that their basement will remain dry through Wisconsin's changing weather conditions.

Before
This Shawano, WI homeowner was dealing with ongoing basement moisture and water intrusion that had begun affecting the condition of the foundation walls. Water was entering along the wall-floor joint, leaving damp surfaces and creating concerns about mold, musty odors, and future damage to the finished areas of the basement. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist documented moisture readings, identified water intrusion at the cove joint, and evaluated how Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and hydrostatic pressure were allowing groundwater to enter the home. To provide a complete basement waterproofing solution, Sure-Dry recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a SuperSump Sump Pump System, and the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System.

After
Our basement waterproofing crew installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System around the affected areas of the basement to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor. The system was connected to a dependable SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing reliable water removal from the home. To complete the project, the foundation walls were covered with the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, creating a clean, bright appearance while directing any wall moisture into the WaterGuard drainage system below. Together, these professionally installed basement waterproofing products provide long-term moisture control, help reduce humidity, and protect the basement from future water intrusion, even during Wisconsin's challenging weather conditions.

This Shawano, WI homeowner had sections of their concrete driveway that had settled over time, creating uneven slabs that made it difficult to drive on and increased the risk of trips and falls. Like many driveways in northeastern Wisconsin, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement beneath the slab had caused voids to form, allowing the concrete to sink. Rather than replacing the driveway, the homeowner chose a faster, more cost-effective repair using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that won't add additional weight to the soil, cures quickly, and provides precise lifting for long-lasting results.

After

Our crew carefully evaluated the driveway, identified the settled areas, and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the slabs to accurately lift and stabilize the concrete. Once the driveway was restored to a safe, even elevation, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The homeowner now has a smooth, safer driveway with improved curb appeal and a repair designed to stand up to Wisconsin's harsh freeze-thaw conditions.

Before

This large concrete driveway at a Shawano, WI home included the approach to an impressive five-stall garage, making the concrete a major part of the property. Over time, multiple driveway slabs had settled and the surface had developed cracking throughout several areas. The combination of sunken slabs, uneven transitions, and open cracks affected both the appearance and function of the driveway.

With such a large concrete surface, keeping water from reaching the supporting soils is especially important. Rain and melting snow can enter through cracks and joints, contributing to soil erosion and void formation. Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can further contribute to movement beneath the slabs.

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® throughout the driveway to address the settled areas. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses a heavy cement-based slurry, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam to fill voids and precisely lift the concrete. It requires smaller injection holes, adds very little weight to the underlying soil, and cures quickly.

After

The crew carefully lifted and stabilized the sunken driveway slabs with PolyLevel, improving the transitions between sections of concrete and across the approaches to the five garage stalls.

Because of the driveway’s size and the amount of cracking, NexusPro® was used extensively throughout the project. The crew sealed cracks and joints across the entire driveway, helping prevent water from traveling through these openings and reaching the supporting soils below.

Completing both the lifting and extensive sealing created a noticeable transformation. This large Shawano driveway now has better-supported slabs, smoother transitions, sealed cracks and joints, and added protection against the conditions that can contribute to future settlement.

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, like the driveway of this home in Pickerel, WI.  The sunken concrete caused a dangerous gap between the driveway and the garage floor.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift the concrete of this home's driveway and level it with the garage floor using their PolyLevel® Injection Foam 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.
