Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Leaking Walls & an Outdated Sump Pump

In Appleton, WI, this homeowner had grown tired of battling a wet basement. Water was leaking through the foundation walls, especially during heavy rain, and their old sump pump couldn’t keep up. The damp conditions were starting to damage belongings and raise concerns about mold and long-term moisture problems.

After: Dry, Protected & Worry-Free

To solve the water intrusion once and for all, our team installed a complete waterproofing system:

• WaterGuard® interior drainage to collect water from the base of the walls and direct it away from the basement

• A new sump pump with UltraSump® battery backup system to keep the basement protected—even during power outages or pump failure

With this system in place, the basement is now clean, dry, and ready for use year-round—no more worrying every time it rains.

Before:
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was experiencing repeated basement water intrusion along the wall-floor joint during heavy rains and spring snowmelt. The foundation walls showed signs of moisture staining, and humidity levels were elevated due to the lake-influenced climate. Their existing sump solution lacked capacity and redundancy, leaving the basement vulnerable during power outages or high groundwater events.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier along the leaking basement walls to prevent moisture from entering the living space and to direct any seepage downward. A WaterGuard® interior drainage system was installed along the perimeter to capture water at the cove joint and route it efficiently to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system.
The basement is now dry, controlled, and protected from future water intrusion.

Before:
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI had a sidewalk that had begun to sink and separate due to soil washout beneath the concrete. Seasonal rains, groundwater movement, and the lake-influenced climate caused voids to develop under several slabs, creating uneven sections and noticeable trip hazards. The open joints allowed additional water to continue eroding the soils, accelerating the settlement over time.
After:
Sure-Dry restored the sidewalk using PolyLevel®, injecting the high-density structural foam beneath the sunken slabs to lift and stabilize them. Once the walkway was level, joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro® to prevent future water intrusion and protect against new washout.
The sidewalk is now properly supported, level, and protected for long-term performance.

Before:
A homeowner in Two Rivers, WI was dealing with persistent crawl space moisture, musty odors, and cold floors above the home. The exposed soil and unsealed rim joists allowed damp outside air and lake-influenced humidity to enter the space, leading to insulation damage and elevated wood moisture levels. Seasonal freeze–thaw conditions continued to worsen the crawl space environment, affecting comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.
After:
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier across the crawl space floor and walls to create a continuous, sealed barrier against moisture intrusion. The rim joists were air-sealed using RimTight™ insulation to eliminate drafts, improve the thermal boundary, and protect the structural framing from humid outside air.
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, improving comfort and long-term durability for the home.

Before
The homeowner in Two Rivers, WI had a garage floor that had begun to settle, creating large cracks and widening joints across the slab. As the concrete continued to sink from soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles, sections became uneven and created safety concerns. The homeowner began searching for concrete lifting and concrete leveling solutions to stop the cracking from getting worse.

After
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the garage floor using PolyLevel® to complete accurate concrete lifting and reduce movement that had contributed to the cracking. The leveling process restored proper slab alignment, closed separation in key areas, and improved surface stability. The completed repair provided long-term concrete leveling performance appropriate for Two Rivers’ freeze-thaw conditions.
