Concrete Slab Under Log Cabin Lifted and Leveled in Cedar River, MI
Before
The concrete slab inside this one-room log cabin in Cedar River, MI had settled unevenly, creating noticeable slope and low spots across the floor surface. Years of soil settlement and moisture movement beneath the slab—common in Upper Michigan due to freeze-thaw cycles—had caused voids to form under the concrete. Before beginning his remodel, the homeowner began searching for concrete lifting near me to correct the unlevel slab and ensure a stable base for future improvements.
These conditions indicated the need for professional concrete leveling service from an experienced concrete lifting contractor rather than removing and replacing the existing slab.
After
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the interior slab using PolyLevel®, injecting the high-density expanding polymer beneath the concrete to fill voids and achieve precise, controlled lift. The lightweight material permanently stabilized the underlying soils while restoring the slab to proper elevation in preparation for remodeling.
The cabin floor is now level, properly supported, and ready for renovation, delivering a reliable concrete leveling contractor solution designed for Michigan’s climate conditions.
Cracked, Bowing Foundation Walls Stabilized with Wall Anchors Stephenson, MI
Before
The poured concrete basement foundation in this Stephenson, MI home showed signs of lateral movement, including horizontal cracking and measurable inward wall displacement. Expansive soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles common in Upper Michigan had placed continued pressure against the foundation, leading the homeowner to search for foundation repair near me after noticing widening cracks and subtle wall bowing.
These conditions indicated the need for a permanent foundation repair contractor solution to stabilize the wall and prevent further structural movement.
After
Sure-Dry permanently stabilized the affected wall using GeoLock® Wall Anchors, a proven wall anchor installation system designed to counteract lateral soil pressure. Steel earth anchors were embedded in stable soil beyond the foundation and connected to interior wall plates, then tightened to immediately halt wall movement and allow for potential straightening over time.
The poured foundation wall is now structurally secured, protecting the home from continued movement and restoring long-term stability.
Crawl Space Moisture, Humidity & Insulation Issues Solved in Cedar River, MI
Before
The crawl space beneath this Cedar River, MI home had exposed soil, elevated humidity levels, and signs of moisture intrusion along the foundation walls. Seasonal groundwater and freeze-thaw cycles common in Upper Michigan allowed damp conditions to persist, contributing to musty odors and cold floors above. The homeowner began searching for crawl space repair near me after noticing ongoing moisture issues and inconsistent indoor comfort.
These symptoms indicated the need for professional crawl space repair and a full crawl space encapsulation system to properly control ground moisture and protect the structure.
After
Sure-Dry completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation by installing CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to seal the exposed earth and isolate the space from ground moisture. A SmartSump® system was added to actively manage groundwater, while SilverGlo™ insulation panels were installed along the foundation walls. The rim joists were sealed and insulated using RimTight™ to eliminate air leakage and reduce condensation risk.
The crawl space is now dry, sealed, and properly insulated, delivering improved air quality, energy efficiency, and long-term protection with a trusted crawl space repair contractor solution.
Basement Water & Humidity Issues Solved with Updated Drainage & Dehumidifier System in Stephenson, MI
Before
The basement in this Stephenson, MI home was experiencing recurring water intrusion along the perimeter and elevated humidity levels that contributed to damp walls and musty odors. During heavy rain and spring snowmelt, groundwater entered at the wall-to-floor joint, while the existing sump system lacked the capacity and backup protection needed for reliable basement waterproofing Michigan conditions demand. The homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing near me after repeated water cleanup and concerns about air quality.
These symptoms indicated the need for a comprehensive interior drainage system basement solution from a qualified basement waterproofing contractor.
After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior drainage system using DryTrak® to capture water intrusion along the foundation perimeter and direct it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system for reliable, multi-level pumping protection. The foundation walls were sealed with CleanSpace® to isolate moisture vapor, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity and improve basement air quality.
The basement is now dry, properly managed, and protected against future water intrusion with a complete basement waterproofing contractor solution tailored for Upper Michigan’s climate.
CleanSpace and SmartJacks in Hardwood, MI
After living in their home in Hardwood, MI for a couple of years they had recently taken a peek into their crawl space and realized how nasty and unhealthy it was. Eager to fix the problem they gave Sure-Dry a call and in just a couple of days we were out to check the problem.
As soon as, our crew got a good look they started to notice how damp and smelly their crawl space had gotten. The water that had started to collect in there had begun to saturate and started to rot some of the wooden beams. This can affect the health and well-being of the homeowners so the issue needed to be addressed immediately.
Our crew totally encapsulated the entire crawl space with our CleanSpace liner, which is very thick and acts as a waterproof shield to keep water out completely, also giving it a much cleaner look. Since the issue of the rotten beams was also dangerous our crew removed the wooden beams and applied our Supplemental Beams in place for the wooden beams and attached to our Supplemental Beams are our SmartJacks. Our SmartJacks supports the weight of the floor and is made of galvanized steel and will never rot.
These homeowners now have a dry, clean, healthy crawl space and will never have to worry about rotting beams again thanks to Sure-Dry.
