Wet Basement Contractor Installs Waterproofing System in Port Washington, WI
Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was experiencing recurring basement water intrusion during heavy rains and snowmelt. Moisture was entering along the wall-floor joint, and the foundation walls showed dampness and staining from lake-effect humidity. The existing sump setup lacked the capacity and redundancy needed for peak groundwater conditions. Without proper drainage or wall protection, the basement remained susceptible to seepage and elevated humidity.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to provide reliable, three-level pumping protection, including an automatic battery backup. Along the leaking walls, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was installed to seal and direct moisture downward. A perimeter WaterGuard® drainage system was added to capture seepage and channel it directly into the new TripleSafe system.
The basement is now dry, protected, and equipped to handle Port Washington’s seasonal groundwater fluctuations.
Concrete Patio is Lifted and Leveled in Port Washington, WI
Before:
A homeowner in Port Washington, WI was dealing with settlement in the concrete patio near their entrance and along the garage apron. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and lake-influenced moisture had caused several slabs to sink and shift, creating uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and poor drainage toward the home. Open joints and cracks were allowing water to wash out soils beneath the concrete, worsening the settlement over time.
After:
Sure-Dry lifted the sunken patio and garage apron slabs using PolyLevel® to restore proper height and eliminate trip hazards. After lifting, joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro®, preventing water infiltration and protecting the slabs from future soil erosion.
The patio and garage apron are now level, stabilized, and fully sealed for long-term durability.
Cracked Concrete Driveway Repaired with PolyLevel Foam in Port Washington, WI
The homeowner in Port Washington, WI noticed sections of their concrete driveway and the concrete entry outside their screened porch near the garage had settled over time, creating uneven walking surfaces and making it more difficult to move between the driveway and the home safely. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement had caused voids beneath the slabs, allowing them to sink. Rather than replacing otherwise solid concrete, they contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted concrete lifting company, for a long-lasting repair solution.
After
Our crew carefully evaluated slab elevations and underlying voids before strategically injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement slurry that can contribute to additional settling, PolyLevel utilizes lightweight, high-density expanding foam to precisely lift and stabilize concrete while filling hidden voids below the slab. Once the concrete was restored to the proper height, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water infiltration that can accelerate future soil erosion. The homeowner now enjoys a safer, smoother entrance to their screened porch and garage while extending the life of their existing concrete.

Wet Damp Crawlspace Gets Encapsulation & Water Control Repair in Port Washington, WI
Before
The homeowner in Port Washington, WI had a damp, unprotected crawl space that was allowing excess ground moisture and humid air to collect beneath the home. The moisture had created musty odors, elevated humidity levels, and conditions that could eventually impact indoor air quality and the structural components above. With southeastern Wisconsin's changing groundwater levels and seasonal humidity, the homeowner wanted a permanent crawl space repair solution rather than a temporary fix.
After
Our team performed a complete crawl space encapsulation by installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the crawl space floor and foundation walls to isolate the home from ground moisture. To further improve energy efficiency and air sealing, we installed RimTight insulation around the rim joists, helping reduce outside air infiltration and moisture intrusion. Because groundwater intrusion was also a concern, we installed a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to automatically collect and discharge water before it could accumulate beneath the home. The homeowner now has a cleaner, drier crawl space with improved moisture control and greater protection for the home above.

Sunken Cement Driveway Slabs Repaired in Port Washington, WI
Before
The homeowner in Port Washington, WI had sections of their concrete driveway that had settled over time, creating uneven slabs and noticeable trip hazards. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, accelerating erosion beneath the concrete and increasing the risk of additional settlement. Like many homes in southeastern Wisconsin, freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had contributed to the slab movement. Rather than replacing the driveway, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry, a trusted concrete lifting company, for a long-lasting repair.
After
After carefully measuring slab elevations and identifying voids beneath the concrete, our crew injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam through small, strategically placed holes to precisely lift and stabilize the driveway. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement slurry that can add weight to already unstable soils, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without significant disruption. Once the driveway was restored to a safe, even surface, all joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water infiltration that can wash away supporting soils beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has a smoother, safer driveway with improved curb appeal and protection against future settlement.
