Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

In Krakow, WI, a homeowner was dealing with uneven concrete slabs that created unsafe walking conditions around the property. As shown in the photo, sections of the slab had settled over time due to soil erosion beneath the surface.

To correct the issue, our team used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam, which is injected beneath the slab to lift and level it with precision while providing long-term stabilization. We then sealed the joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to prevent water from seeping below the slab and causing future erosion.

Together, these solutions restore safety, improve curb appeal, and provide durable, long-lasting support for the concrete surface.

This house in Cedar Grove, WI had multiple issues with their basement.  For one, their foundation walls were cracking and bowing inward due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside.  Second, water was finding its way into the basement between the foundation walls and footing.  With no drainage system in place, this water was pooling on the basement floor.  

In order to stabilize the foundation walls, Sure-Dry installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors system.  Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors is an innovative wall anchor system that will permanently stabilize your foundation walls by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation.

After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position.

To take care of the water issue, Sure-Dry installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI began noticing signs of a failing poured concrete foundation, including inward wall movement and visible cracking—common indicators that often lead homeowners to search for foundation repair Wisconsin or bowing wall repair Wisconsin solutions. At the same time, water intrusion had become an ongoing issue in the basement, especially during heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, contributing to a wet basement repair Wisconsin concern. Without a proper interior drainage system, water would collect along the perimeter, increasing hydrostatic pressure against already compromised walls. Like many homes in Sheboygan County, this combination of structural stress and unmanaged water created a compounding problem that worsened over time.
In addition to structural concerns, the lack of an effective basement waterproofing system meant water had no controlled path for removal. The existing sump pump was present but not properly connected to a perimeter drainage solution, limiting its effectiveness. The homeowner was dealing with both foundation instability and recurring moisture—two issues that often go hand-in-hand in Wisconsin’s clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles.

After
To address both the structural and waterproofing concerns, Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System to permanently stabilize the failing poured foundation walls. These adjustable steel beams were custom-fit to the basement height and securely anchored to the framing above, allowing for immediate stabilization and the potential for gradual wall straightening over time. Installation included torque verification to ensure each brace met structural performance standards, a key step in long-term foundation repair contractor work in Wisconsin.
To resolve the water intrusion, the team installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater seepage before it reached the floor. The system was designed to channel water directly into the home’s existing sump pump system, maximizing efficiency without requiring full replacement. This integrated basement waterproofing Wisconsin solution provided a clean, concealed drainage path while relieving pressure at the wall-floor joint.
The homeowner now has a stabilized foundation and a reliable system to keep the basement dry, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.

Before

A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in their basement, especially during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt—common conditions that often lead homeowners to search for basement waterproofing Wisconsin or wet basement repair Wisconsin solutions. Water would seep in along the perimeter of the basement floor, creating damp conditions, musty odors, and concerns about long-term damage. Without a proper drainage system in place, hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pushed water through the wall-floor joint, allowing moisture to collect inside the home.
Although the home had an older sump pump system, it was not effectively managing the volume of water entering the basement. There was no interior drainage system to capture and direct water, leaving the homeowner relying on temporary solutions. Like many homes in Sheboygan County, the combination of clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles contributed to persistent moisture issues that continued to worsen over time.

After
To provide a long-term basement waterproofing solution, Sure-Dry installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter. This system was designed to intercept groundwater seepage at the wall-floor joint before it could reach the basement floor, relieving pressure and directing water safely away. The system sits below the surface of the floor, keeping it out of sight while effectively managing water intrusion.
To ensure reliable water removal, the team also installed the SuperSump Sump Pump System to replace the outdated pump. This high-performance system provides consistent pumping power and improved reliability, ensuring water collected by the drainage system is efficiently discharged away from the home.
The homeowner now has a clean, dry basement supported by a proven system, delivering long-term protection and peace of mind.

Before
A homeowner in Cedar Grove, WI began noticing significant movement in their block foundation walls, including stair-step cracking and inward bowing—clear warning signs that often lead homeowners to search for foundation repair Wisconsin or bowing wall repair Wisconsin solutions. Over time, pressure from saturated soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles in Sheboygan County had caused the walls to weaken and shift, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.
As the movement progressed, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about potential failure and the safety of the home. Like many block foundations in Wisconsin, the porous nature of the material combined with expanding soils created ongoing stress against the walls. Without reinforcement, the condition would continue to worsen, making early intervention critical.

After
To stabilize the failing walls, Sure-Dry installed a combination of the PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System and the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. The PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System was used on interior walls where floor framing allowed for secure attachment, providing immediate stabilization and the opportunity for gradual wall straightening over time.
In areas where exterior access allowed, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed by embedding steel earth anchors into stable soil beyond the foundation and connecting them to wall plates inside the basement. This system counteracts external pressure and helps pull the walls back toward their original position.
The homeowner now has a permanently stabilized foundation, restoring structural integrity and providing long-term peace of mind.
