Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI noticed their concrete patio outside the back door and sections of the garage floor had settled, creating uneven surfaces and making it more difficult to safely enter and exit the home. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, and the shifting concrete had become more noticeable after years of Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil conditions. Rather than replacing solid concrete, the homeowner chose Sure-Dry, a trusted concrete lifting company, to restore the slabs.

After

Our crew carefully inspected the affected concrete and identified the voids responsible for the settlement before injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the patio and garage floor. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which relies on a heavy cement slurry, PolyLevel uses lightweight, expanding foam that fills hidden voids, precisely lifts the slabs, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding unnecessary weight to the soil. Once the concrete was restored to the proper elevation, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from reaching the soil beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has a safer, more level patio and garage floor that are protected against future moisture-related settlement.

Before

The homeowner in Port Washington, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing severe horizontal cracking and significant inward movement along one of their basement foundation walls. The wall had continued to shift over time, raising concerns about the structural stability of the home and allowing moisture to enter through the growing cracks. Following a detailed inspection, our team documented the wall deflection and determined that the movement was consistent with hydrostatic soil pressure, a common issue in southeastern Wisconsin where expansive soils and repeated freeze-thaw cycles place tremendous stress on foundation walls. The homeowner wanted a permanent foundation repair solution before the damage became more extensive.

After

To permanently stabilize the failing wall, our crew installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System along with steel wall channels to distribute structural loads evenly across the damaged foundation. The wall was carefully measured and the anchors were installed in stable soil outside the home before being connected to the interior steel channels. The system immediately stopped further inward movement and provides the ability for gradual wall straightening over time through future tightening adjustments. The homeowner now has a permanently stabilized foundation wall and renewed confidence that their home is protected against continued structural movement.

In Mountain, WI our Sure-Dry Basement Systems team totally encapsulated their crawlspace in our CleanSpace Wall System, which acts as a thick, durable liner that blocks out all water, dirt, mold, bugs, etc from entering into their home.

To then warm the crawlspace, we installed our SilverGlo Insulator, that not only works as an insulator but also has tiny particles in the middle of the foam that reflects heat back into the crawlspace.
