Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

In this basement in New Franken, WI water had managed to seep it's way through the concrete pours and soak around the perimeter of the basement. 

We installed the WaterGuard System, which will collect water that seeps in and will drain it to the sump pump. With its tiny openings at the top of the guard, water will no longer be able to sit on this basement floor ever again.

Before:
The basement took on water along multiple wall–floor joints after rain and during thaws. Puddles, musty odors, and efflorescence were common, and humidity made storage difficult year-round.

After:
We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the leaking perimeter to intercept seepage at its source and carry it to a new SuperSump® with an airtight lid, high-reliability pump, and clean finish. The foundation walls were lined with CleanSpace® vapor barrier so any wall moisture is directed into WaterGuard instead of onto the floor. To control airborne moisture, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier was added and set to maintain healthy RH, draining automatically.

The basement is now dry, brighter, and ready for reliable use—even during heavy rains.

Before:
The crawl space had exposed soil, musty odors, and seasonal puddling. Leaky rim joists let in cold, humid air, leaving floors above chilly and adding moisture to the space. Without a dedicated drainage or humidity system, the area felt damp year-round.

After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®—sealed across the floor and up the walls with tight, taped seams and mechanical fastening. Around the perimeter, joints and penetrations were sealed, and vents were closed to block outside air. We air-sealed and insulated the rim with RimTight™ to stop drafts and reduce condensation. For water management, we installed a SuperSump® with an airtight lid and check valve. Finally, a Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain healthy relative humidity and drain automatically.

The result is a dry, clean, and tighter crawl space that improves comfort and air quality in the home above.

Before:
The homeowner had settled concrete slabs (driveway/walkway/patio) creating trip edges and low spots that collected water. Open joints and growing cracks allowed moisture to reach the base, accelerating settlement with freeze–thaw cycles.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the affected slabs to fill voids and lift the concrete back to proper elevation and pitch. Once level and stable, we routed and cleaned cracks and control joints, then sealed them with NexusPro® to block water intrusion and accommodate seasonal movement.

The surfaces are now even, safer to use, and protected for the long term—without tear-out or replacement.

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 and walkway of this home in Oconto, WI. 

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to lift and level this home's driveway and walkway 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.
