Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had a newer concrete driveway that had already begun to settle, creating early height differences, cracking at the joints, and uneven transitions near the garage. Soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles contributed to premature sinking concrete, leading the homeowner to look for concrete lifting and concrete leveling solutions before the problems progressed further.

After
Sure-Dry corrected the settlement by completing precise concrete lifting with PolyLevel® to raise and re-level the affected driveway slabs. After stabilization, NexusPro® was applied to seal joints, prevent moisture intrusion, and protect the newer concrete from early freeze-thaw deterioration. Together, these systems delivered long-term concrete leveling performance suitable for Manitowoc’s climate conditions.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had a concrete walkway running around the house that had begun to settle and tilt toward the foundation, creating uneven surfaces and drainage concerns. Sections of the walkway developed height variations and cracking at the joints due to soil washout and freeze-thaw cycles, leading the homeowner to search for concrete lifting and concrete leveling solutions to prevent worsening settlement.

After
Sure-Dry restored the walkway by completing precise concrete lifting with PolyLevel® to raise and stabilize the settled slabs and improve slope away from the home. After the lift was complete, NexusPro® was applied to seal joints and protect the walkway from moisture intrusion and freeze-thaw damage. The finished repair provided long-term concrete leveling performance suitable for Manitowoc’s climate and restored safe, even footing around the home.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had a finished basement experiencing recurring moisture issues during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water intrusion along the foundation perimeter and elevated humidity levels put finished walls, flooring, and overall indoor air quality at risk.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and the need for improved water management and humidity control to protect the finished basement long-term.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing and moisture control system, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing and direct it to a new SuperSump® primary sump pump paired with an UltraSump® battery backup system for protection during power outages. To control humidity and protect finished materials, a Sedona® SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent, dry conditions year-round.
The finished basement is now dry, protected, and comfortable, with layered water protection and reliable humidity control in place.

Before
The homeowner in Manitowoc, WI experienced recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the foundation perimeter at the wall-to-floor joint, creating damp conditions and concern about long-term moisture damage.
Inspection confirmed hydrostatic pressure at the footing and the absence of a reliable interior drainage and sump system to properly manage groundwater.

After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing solution, including the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the footing level and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system. The TripleSafe system provides primary pumping power with built-in backup protection to handle high water volumes and power outages.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped with dependable, layered water management.

Before: A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI began noticing sections of their driveway and both concrete walkways leading to the front entrance and side service door of the garage had started to sink and separate. Uneven slabs had created trip hazards and allowed water to collect along low areas during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt, a common problem throughout Eastern Wisconsin where shifting soils and freeze-thaw conditions contribute to slab settlement. Cracks between the concrete joints continued widening over time, affecting both the appearance and safety of the property.
After researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete step repair solutions, the homeowner learned that older mudjacking and slab jacking methods can place additional weight beneath already unstable soils and may not provide the long-term stabilization they were looking for.
After: Sure-Dry repaired the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the driveway slabs along with both walkways leading to the home and garage service entrance. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore proper support. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps minimize future settlement caused by soil washout beneath the concrete surfaces.
To help protect the repaired joints and cracks from moisture intrusion, the crew also applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant throughout the affected seams. This durable sealant helps reduce water infiltration that can contribute to additional slab movement and concrete deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored safer access to both entryways while improving the overall appearance and functionality of the driveway and walkways.
