Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a crawlspace with exposed earth, elevated humidity, and ongoing moisture concerns that were impacting air quality and structural conditions above. Moisture intrusion and unsealed rim joists allowed damp air to circulate throughout the crawlspace, increasing the risk of mold growth, wood deterioration, and cold floors during Wisconsin’s seasonal temperature swings.
Inspection confirmed high moisture levels, poor vapor control, and inadequate drainage protection within the crawlspace.

After
Sure-Dry completed a full crawl space encapsulation using CleanSpace® vapor barrier to fully seal the crawlspace floor and walls, preventing ground moisture from entering the space. A SmartSump® crawlspace sump pump system was installed to manage groundwater, while RimTight® insulation sealed the rim joists to reduce air leakage and improve energy efficiency. To control humidity long-term, a Sedona® dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent, dry conditions year-round.
The crawlspace is now dry, sealed, and conditioned, improving indoor air quality, energy performance, and long-term protection for the home.

Before

The homeowner in Shawano, WI had a basement with sagging floors caused by inadequate structural support beneath the main beams. Over time, floor joists had settled, creating noticeable dips in the living space above and raising concerns about long-term structural integrity.
Inspection confirmed insufficient load-bearing support and soil conditions that allowed continued movement beneath the basement beams.

After
Sure-Dry stabilized and reinforced the basement structure by installing SmartJack® support posts to properly support the main beams and floor joists. The SmartJack system was anchored to engineered footings designed to transfer structural loads to stable soil, allowing controlled lift and permanent support.
The floors above are now stabilized and properly supported, restoring structural confidence and improving the overall safety of the home.

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.
