Basement Sump Pump Installation in New Franken, WI
Before:
The basement took on water along multiple wall–floor joints after rain and during thaws. Puddles, musty odors, and efflorescence were common, and humidity made storage difficult year-round.
After:
We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the leaking perimeter to intercept seepage at its source and carry it to a new SuperSump® with an airtight lid, high-reliability pump, and clean finish. The foundation walls were lined with CleanSpace® vapor barrier so any wall moisture is directed into WaterGuard instead of onto the floor. To control airborne moisture, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier was added and set to maintain healthy RH, draining automatically.
The basement is now dry, brighter, and ready for reliable use—even during heavy rains.
Crawl Space Water Control, Insulation & Dehumidifier Systems Installed in New Franken, WI
Before:
The crawl space had exposed soil, musty odors, and seasonal puddling. Leaky rim joists let in cold, humid air, leaving floors above chilly and adding moisture to the space. Without a dedicated drainage or humidity system, the area felt damp year-round.
After:
We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®—sealed across the floor and up the walls with tight, taped seams and mechanical fastening. Around the perimeter, joints and penetrations were sealed, and vents were closed to block outside air. We air-sealed and insulated the rim with RimTight™ to stop drafts and reduce condensation. For water management, we installed a SuperSump® with an airtight lid and check valve. Finally, a Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain healthy relative humidity and drain automatically.
The result is a dry, clean, and tighter crawl space that improves comfort and air quality in the home above.
Concrete Driveway Repair, Lifting & Sealing in New Franken, WI
Before:
The homeowner had settled concrete slabs (driveway/walkway/patio) creating trip edges and low spots that collected water. Open joints and growing cracks allowed moisture to reach the base, accelerating settlement with freeze–thaw cycles.
After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the affected slabs to fill voids and lift the concrete back to proper elevation and pitch. Once level and stable, we routed and cleaned cracks and control joints, then sealed them with NexusPro® to block water intrusion and accommodate seasonal movement.
The surfaces are now even, safer to use, and protected for the long term—without tear-out or replacement.
Uneven Concrete Driveway, Sidewalk & Air Conditioner Pad Leveled & Sealed in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI was dealing with settlement across several important concrete surfaces around the property, including the driveway, side walkway, and the concrete slab supporting the central air conditioning unit behind the home. Sections had sunk and shifted as support beneath the concrete weakened, creating uneven transitions and allowing water to reach areas below the slabs. The settlement beneath the air-conditioning pad was especially important to address because the equipment needed a stable, properly supported surface. Concrete settlement caused by voids, moisture, and soil movement is a common concern throughout Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected areas using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. PolyLevel was injected beneath the driveway, side walkway, and central air unit slab to fill underlying voids and provide controlled lifting and stabilization. Once the concrete was properly supported, NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to cracks and joints to help limit water infiltration and future erosion beneath the slabs. Sure-Dry uses this same PolyLevel and NexusPro approach for concrete lifting and sealing projects throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Unlike traditional mudjacking, or slab jacking, which pumps a heavy cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight polyurethane foam that requires smaller injection holes and allows technicians to make precise adjustments during the lift. The completed concrete leveling project provided the homeowner with more stable surfaces around the property while helping protect the driveway, walkway, and central air equipment pad from continued settlement.

Uneven Concrete Slabs Leveled & Sealed in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI was dealing with settled and uneven concrete throughout the driveway and along the side entrance to the home. Several slabs had shifted as the supporting soils beneath the concrete settled and washed out, creating uneven transitions and potential trip hazards near an entrance used regularly by the family. Open joints and low areas also allowed water to work beneath the concrete, increasing the potential for additional settlement during Northeast Wisconsin’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Sure-Dry has documented similar concrete settlement in New Franken caused by voids, failed joints, and water infiltration into the subbase.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected areas using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The lightweight polyurethane foam was injected beneath the driveway and side entrance slabs to fill underlying voids and provide controlled lifting and stabilization. Once the concrete leveling was complete, NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to appropriate cracks and joints to help prevent water from reaching and eroding the supporting soils below. PolyLevel and NexusPro are used together by Sure-Dry for lifting, stabilizing, and protecting settled driveways and walkways throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Unlike traditional mudjacking, or slab jacking, which pumps a heavier cement-based slurry beneath the slab, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam, smaller injection holes, and allows for precise adjustments during the lift. The completed concrete lifting project provided the homeowner with a smoother driveway and safer, more stable access to the side entrance of the home.
