Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, noticed that water was seeping along the basement floor where the walls meet the slab, especially after heavy rainfall. While the home already had a sump pump pit in place, the existing setup wasn’t able to effectively collect or manage water entering around the perimeter. The homeowner wanted a system that would connect to the current sump and ensure full basement drainage protection.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. The new system was seamlessly tied into the homeowner’s existing sump pump pit, allowing collected water to flow directly into the sump for safe discharge outside.
With the WaterGuard system in place, the basement now stays completely dry, eliminating standing water and protecting the foundation from long-term moisture damage.

Before

The homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI was dealing with multiple basement issues, including bowing foundation walls, water seepage, and deteriorating wall surfaces. Moisture entering along the foundation walls was creating damp conditions and concerns about future water damage, while the wall movement indicated structural stress that could worsen over time. These symptoms are common signs that both foundation repair and basement waterproofing systems are needed to protect the home and restore confidence in the basement's long-term stability.

After

Sure-Dry addressed the structural concerns by installing the EverBrace Wall Restoration System, providing permanent support for the failing foundation walls. To manage water intrusion, the crew installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture groundwater before it could reach the floor surface. The CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System was installed over the basement walls to help direct wall moisture into the drainage system while creating a cleaner appearance. Water collected by the system was discharged through the SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing a comprehensive basement waterproofing and foundation repair solution for the home.

Before

A homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI had a settled concrete garage apron where it met their blacktop driveway and garage entrance. The concrete had sunk, creating an uneven transition into the garage. Settlement around garage aprons is common when the soil beneath the slab compacts or washes out, leaving unsupported voids. Wisconsin's repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional soil movement and make the difference in elevation more noticeable over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken garage apron. The polyurethane material was injected beneath the concrete, where it expanded to fill underlying voids and provide a controlled lift that brought the slab back toward its proper position.

Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane material that adds less weight to already unstable soil, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. The completed concrete repair created a smoother transition between the blacktop driveway and garage without the expense and disruption of tearing out and replacing the existing slab.

Before

A homeowner in Wisconsin Rapids, WI was dealing with water entering their basement and needed a dependable way to keep the space dry. Basement water seepage can develop as groundwater builds up around the foundation and hydrostatic pressure pushes moisture toward the basement floor and wall joints. Wisconsin's heavy rains, changing groundwater levels, and freeze-thaw cycles can make these basement water problems even more noticeable throughout the year.

After

Sure-Dry installed a WaterGuard® interior basement drainage system to capture water entering along the perimeter of the foundation and direct it toward a new SuperSump® sump pump system. Together, the drainage and sump pump provide a reliable path for groundwater to be collected and pumped safely away from the home.

Instead of simply addressing visible water after it reaches the basement floor, this interior basement waterproofing system helps manage the source of the problem and gives the homeowner a more dependable way to keep their basement dry.

Before

The concrete steps at the front entrance of this Wisconsin Rapids, WI home had settled and tipped away from the house. Besides making the entrance look uneven, tipped and sunken concrete steps can create an uncomfortable walking surface and a potential trip hazard for anyone entering or leaving the home. Settlement like this often develops as the soil beneath the concrete compacts, erodes, or washes out. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to additional movement over time.

After

Sure-Dry used PolyLevel® to carefully lift and level the settled front concrete steps, restoring a safer and more even approach to the home's entrance. NexusPro® was then used to seal the joints and cracks, helping reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete that can contribute to future soil erosion and settlement.

Compared with traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane material, requires smaller injection holes, and cures quickly. It also adds significantly less weight to the already compromised soil beneath the concrete. The combination of concrete lifting and joint sealing gave this homeowner a cleaner, more stable front entrance without having to tear out and replace the existing steps.
