Sunken Concrete Driveway & Walkway Repair in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI noticed that the concrete around their 15-year-old home had started to settle. Sections of the driveway, the walkway leading to the side entrance of the garage, and the front sidewalk were sinking and becoming uneven. Over time, soil settlement and water moving beneath concrete can create voids that leave slabs without consistent support, leading to uneven surfaces and trip hazards around frequently used entrances. Similar driveway and sidewalk settlement is addressed throughout Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin.
After
Sure-Dry restored the affected concrete using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. Small injection holes were strategically placed so PolyLevel could expand beneath the driveway and walkways, fill underlying voids, and provide controlled lifting and stabilization. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then applied to appropriate cracks and joints to help limit water from reaching and eroding the supporting soils beneath the slabs. Sure-Dry uses PolyLevel for lifting and leveling sinking concrete and NexusPro for sealing and protecting concrete joints and cracks. Unlike traditional mudjacking, or slab jacking, which relies on a heavier cement-based material, PolyLevel uses lightweight polyurethane foam and smaller injection holes for precise lifting. The completed concrete leveling project gave the homeowner a smoother driveway and safer, more stable walking surfaces at both the side garage entrance and front of the home.

Concrete Driveway Repair & Joint Sealing in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI was dealing with cracking and settlement in the concrete driveway slabs directly in front of the garage, while the remainder of the driveway was blacktop. The concrete had sunk enough to create uneven transitions where the slabs met the garage and surrounding driveway. Loss of soil support beneath the concrete can allow slabs to settle over time, while cracks and open joints give water additional pathways beneath the surface. Northeast Wisconsin’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles can further contribute to movement as moisture affects the supporting soils.
After
Sure-Dry repaired the settled concrete with PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam, injecting the lightweight polyurethane beneath the slabs to fill voids, stabilize the underlying areas, and carefully lift the concrete toward its proper elevation. NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant was then used to seal appropriate cracks and joints, helping limit water infiltration beneath the repaired slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, or slab jacking, which pumps a heavier cement-based slurry beneath the concrete, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam, smaller injection holes, and provides precise control during concrete lifting. The finished repair created a smoother transition between the blacktop driveway, concrete slabs, and garage while providing the homeowner with a more stable surface for everyday vehicle traffic.

Foundation Wall Repair & Stabilization in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI contacted Sure-Dry about foundation wall movement in a basement where our team had installed a basement waterproofing system many years earlier. While the existing waterproofing continued addressing groundwater around the basement, the foundation walls had developed a separate structural concern that required attention. Bowing or inward-moving basement walls can develop as pressure from the surrounding soils increases, particularly with Northeast Wisconsin’s changing moisture levels and freeze-thaw conditions. The homeowner turned back to Sure-Dry to evaluate the foundation and determine the appropriate foundation repair solution.
After
Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace™ Wall Stabilization System along the affected foundation walls. The engineered steel beams were secured tightly against the walls and anchored at the basement floor and framing above to provide permanent stabilization without requiring excavation outside the home. The system is designed to prevent additional inward movement and, when conditions allow, can be adjusted over time in an effort to improve the wall’s position. With the PowerBrace system installed alongside the home's existing waterproofing improvements, the homeowner now has protection addressing both water management and structural stability in the basement.

Wet Basement Waterproofing & Humidity Repair in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI was experiencing water intrusion and elevated moisture levels in the basement. Water entering around the foundation perimeter left the basement vulnerable to damp conditions, musty odors, and increased humidity, especially during periods of heavy rain and snowmelt common throughout Northeast Wisconsin. The homeowner needed a basement waterproofing solution that could manage groundwater at the foundation while also controlling moisture in the basement air.
After
Sure-Dry installed a complete basement waterproofing system featuring the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to capture water entering around the foundation perimeter and direct it toward the SuperSump® Sump Pump System for reliable removal from the basement. A SaniDry™ Dehumidification System was also installed to reduce excess humidity and help maintain a drier, more comfortable environment. Together, these systems address both liquid water and moisture in the air, giving the homeowner a comprehensive wet basement repair solution and greater peace of mind during Wisconsin's wettest seasons.

Crawl Space Vapor Encapsulation & Repair in New Franken, WI
Before
A homeowner in New Franken, WI was dealing with a damp, exposed crawl space that allowed ground moisture and outside air to affect conditions beneath the home. Without an effective vapor barrier, moisture from the soil could continually enter the crawl space, contributing to elevated humidity, musty conditions, and potential moisture concerns for the wooden structure above. Air leakage around the rim joist also provided another pathway for outside air, moisture, and temperature fluctuations to enter the space, reducing the effectiveness of the home's building envelope.
After
Sure-Dry completed the crawl space encapsulation using the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System. The durable liner was installed across the crawl space floor and extended up the foundation walls to isolate the home from ground moisture and create a cleaner, more controlled environment. The team also installed RimTight™ Rim Joist Insulation along the rim joist to air seal and insulate this vulnerable area of the home. By combining CleanSpace encapsulation with RimTight, Sure-Dry addressed both ground moisture and air leakage, giving the homeowner a cleaner, drier, and better-protected crawl space.
