Stair Step Cracks & Bowing Walls Stabilized with Wall Anchors

Before: Cracked Walls Holding Up a Basement Remodel

These Sheboygan homeowners were ready to finish their basement—but ran into a major problem. The block foundation walls were severely cracked, showing classic stairstep patterns and inward bowing—clear signs of foundation failure. With plans to turn the basement into livable space, they knew it had to be fixed before moving forward.

After: Permanent Foundation Stabilization with GeoLock®

We installed a system of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the bowing basement walls and stop further movement. By anchoring the walls to stable soil outside the home, this solution offers long-term protection—and helps prevent the water intrusion that often comes with shifting foundations.

Now the basement is ready for the next phase—and the homeowners can finish it with confidence.

Before:

A homeowner in Sheboygan, WI, wanted to make their basement brighter and code-compliant by adding an egress window. The existing windows were too small to allow adequate natural light or serve as an emergency exit, leaving the basement dark and unsuitable for living space use. The homeowner wanted a solution that would improve both safety and comfort while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:

Sure-Dry’s team excavated the exterior area and installed a complete egress window system, featuring a large, code-approved window, a durable well, and a clear protective cover. The installation included a properly graded drainage system with stone at the base of the well to prevent water buildup. The new window brought abundant natural light into the basement and provided a secure, easy-to-access emergency exit.

The homeowner was impressed with the workmanship and noted that the basement now feels brighter, safer, and ready for finishing.

A homeowner in Sheboygan, WI, wanted to add an egress window to their basement to improve safety, bring in more natural light, and prepare the space for future finishing. The existing basement windows were small and inefficient, leaving the area dark and without a code-compliant emergency exit.

The result was a bright, well-ventilated basement with a safe, accessible emergency exit that meets all local building codes.

Before

The homeowner in Sheboygan, WI noticed their driveway, front walkway, and concrete steps had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces, widening cracks, and potential tripping hazards. Water was beginning to collect in the low areas, increasing the risk of additional soil erosion beneath the concrete. Many homeowners experiencing these issues research concrete lifting solutions and compare them to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking method that uses a heavy cement-based material to raise settled concrete.

After

Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete surfaces using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight foam was injected beneath the driveway, walkway, and steps to fill voids and carefully lift each section back toward its proper elevation. Once the concrete leveling process was complete, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping prevent water intrusion beneath the slabs. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, adds less weight to underlying soils, and provides a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking professional concrete lifting and concrete step repair services in Sheboygan County.

Before
A homeowner in Sheboygan, WI was dealing with a severely cracked and uneven concrete sidewalk connecting the driveway to an entrance of the home. Several slabs had settled significantly, creating uneven transitions and noticeable trip hazards along a walkway used regularly to enter and exit the house. Settlement like this can develop as supporting soils compress, erode, or leave voids beneath the concrete, allowing individual slabs to sink and crack.
After
Sure-Dry restored the walkway using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. Small injection holes allowed the expanding polyurethane foam to fill underlying voids and carefully raise the concrete, improving the transitions between slabs without tearing out and replacing the entire sidewalk. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to the severe cracks and joints to help limit water intrusion beneath the repaired concrete. Mudjacking, sometimes called slab jacking, uses a heavier cement-based material pumped beneath settled concrete; PolyLevel provides a lightweight alternative with smaller injection holes, precise lifting, and minimal disruption around the walkway. The completed concrete leveling and concrete floor repair gave the homeowner a smoother, more stable walking surface between the driveway and home entrance while reducing the existing trip hazards.
