Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Rib Lake, WI had started noticing the concrete garage apron and walkway leading to the front door were settling and pulling away over the years. The apron had dropped enough that pulling vehicles into the garage was becoming rougher, and the walkway to the entrance had become uneven and awkward to walk across. Water was also starting to sit in some of the low spots after rain, which only continued making the settling worse through the long freeze-thaw seasons common in Northern Wisconsin.
Like a lot of homes around Taylor County, shifting soils and moisture underneath the slabs had slowly caused sections of the concrete to sink out of level. The homeowner wanted to clean up the appearance of the concrete and fix the tripping hazards without having to tear out and replace large sections of the driveway and walkway.

After: Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the settled garage apron and front walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam. The foam was injected beneath the slabs to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise the concrete back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid adding extra stress to already shifting soils.
Once the lifting work was complete, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the end of the project, the garage apron had a much smoother transition into the garage, and the walkway to the front entrance looked cleaner, more level, and safer to use.

Before: Cracking Block Walls & Water Intrusion

This homeowner had been noticing widening stair-step cracks in their block foundation walls—and the worse the cracking got, the more water was showing up in the basement during heavy rains. The wall movement was not only a structural concern, but also letting in moisture that led to musty smells and mold risk.

They knew it was time to fix the problem at the source—before it got any worse.

After: Wall Stabilized, Water Controlled

Our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors, which permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring them to stable soil away from the home and providing the ability to gradually straighten the wall over time. Once the structure was secure, the homeowner could rest easier knowing that the wall wouldn't move further—and that water intrusion would also be reduced.

Another home stabilized. Another basement protected.

Before:
This Fifield, WI homeowner experienced frequent basement water intrusion, especially during heavy rain. Water pooled along the floor where the wall met the slab, creating damp, musty conditions and threatening stored belongings. Without a reliable sump system or drainage solution, the hydrostatic pressure continued to push moisture into the space, making it impossible to keep the basement dry.

After:
To permanently solve the issue, the Sure-Dry team installed a complete waterproofing system including a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a bleeder line, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. These components work together to capture groundwater, relieve pressure, and discharge it safely away from the home.

The homeowner now has a consistently dry, protected basement that’s ready for safe storage and peace of mind year-round.
