Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Luxemburg saw stair-step cracks spreading through a block basement wall and a slight inward bow after heavy rains. Seasonal soil pressure was worsening the movement, raising concerns about long-term structural safety and resale value.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System, connecting interior steel wall plates to galvanized earth anchors set in stable soil beyond the backfill zone. Each anchor location required only a small exterior excavation, and once tensioned, the system provided immediate lateral support with the ability to be tightened over time to help straighten the wall.

The wall is now stabilized against further inward movement, and the homeowner has confidence in the long-term safety of their foundation.

Before:
A homeowner in Luxemburg was dealing with damp, musty basement walls and periodic seepage after storms. Efflorescence and odors crept into the living space, and they worried about reliability if the power went out during heavy rain.

After:
We installed the CleanSpace® wall system around the basement perimeter—sealing seams and mechanically fastening the liner to block vapor and channel wall moisture to the home’s drainage path. We also upgraded the pumping equipment to a TripleSafe® sump system with a primary pump, high-capacity secondary, and a battery-backup pump under a sealed lid with alarm.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and ready for storage year-round—with peace of mind during outages.

Before:
A homeowner in Luxemburg had a settled garage pad and an uneven walkway leading to the deck. Toe-stubbing edges and widening joints let water slip beneath the slabs, causing puddling near the garage and seasonal freeze–thaw damage around the deck steps.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled areas to fill voids and precisely lift the slabs back to a level, properly pitched position. Then we sealed open joints and cracks with NexusPro®, installing backer where needed and finishing with color-match sand for a clean, durable look.

The entry and walkway are now level, safer to use, and better protected against water intrusion and seasonal movement.

Before the project, the homeowner in Crystal Falls, MI was dealing with recurring water seepage at the cove joint where the basement floor meets the walls, along with cold, damp foundation surfaces. During heavy rains and spring snowmelt, water tracked along the slab edge and collected in low areas, leaving efflorescence and a musty odor throughout the basement. The exposed concrete walls contributed to condensation and made the space feel chilly and humid, limiting how the homeowner could safely store belongings or consider future finishing. An existing sump pump system was basic and offered no redundancy, leaving the homeowner concerned about performance during major storms or power interruptions—typical of wet basement repair needs in Upper Michigan.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a coordinated system that manages water at the walls, floor, and sump basin. Along the footing, a WaterGuard® interior French drain was installed to intercept groundwater and cove joint seepage before it can reach the floor surface. The walls were then lined with a CleanSpace® wall system to create a bright, durable vapor barrier that directs any wall moisture down into the drainage channel while improving the appearance and feel of the space. All collected water is routed to a new TripleSafe® sump pump system, providing multiple levels of pump protection in a sealed basin to handle everyday flow, high-demand events, and power outages.
The homeowner now has a drier, brighter, and more comfortable basement in Crystal Falls, MI, with groundwater, wall moisture, and sump discharge managed by an integrated waterproofing system designed for Upper Peninsula conditions.

IceGuard installed at customer's home to prevent frozen pipes and ensure that any water that the sump pump is removing from the basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines.
