Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before addressing the crawl space in Wausau, WI, notice in the photo gaps and instability plaguing the concrete surfaces, leading to potential hazards. We employed our innovative PolyLevel® system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam to stabilize, lift, and level the misaligned slabs. Afterward, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was applied to expertly seal joints and cracks, preventing water intrusion and ensuring long-lasting stability. Our expert technicians have significantly reinforced this concrete space, restoring its reliability through proven technologies and delivering seamless understanding pinpointed within our proven concrete lifting solutions.

Before: Cracked, Sunken Slabs and a Driveway No One Trusted

In Wausau, WI, this homeowner was dealing with a cracked, uneven driveway that had gotten worse over time. Several concrete slabs had sunk and pulled apart, creating trip hazards and deep gaps that allowed water to collect underneath. As the water washed away more soil, the problem grew—and so did the risk.

It got to the point where they were nervous to drive on it, afraid the concrete would keep shifting or collapse further.

After: Lifted, Leveled, and Ready to Use

Our team used PolyLevel®, a high-strength expanding foam, to lift and level the sunken slabs—quickly, cleanly, and without ripping out the existing concrete.

By filling the voids beneath and stabilizing the soil, we stopped the movement and leveled the surface. Cracks were sealed and the driveway is now safe, smooth, and solid again—with no more pooling water or erosion underneath.

Stabilizing Cracked, Bowing Block Walls with PowerBraces™

Before: Wall Cracks Getting Worse—and So Was the Water

This Wausau homeowner had been watching their block foundation walls develop severe stairstep cracks for a while, but recently, things took a turn. As the wall continued to crack and shift inward, water began seeping through, and mold started forming in the damp corners of the basement. They knew they needed to act fast—before structural issues or water damage got worse.

After: Foundation Stabilized and Protected with PowerBraces™

We installed a series of PowerBrace™ Wall Stabilization Systems, engineered to halt inward wall movement and keep the structure from getting worse. The fully adjustable braces can even be tightened over time to potentially reverse wall deflection.

By addressing the cracking and movement, we also helped eliminate one of the primary sources of water intrusion—protecting the basement from future leaks and mold growth.

To remove the damages and moldy residue left from water soaking through, we encapsulated the basement walls in CleanSpace. This gives the walls a new, bright, clean look! 

Structurally, stone foundations are often extremely durable (2’ of stone!) but due to their construction, most suffer from seepage and moisture along the floor and in the wall mortar. We help many homeowners with these types of foundations to be able to use their basements again.

Here is an example of a basement with a stone foundation in Wausau, WI that we waterproofed using our WaterGuard®, CleanSpace®, and SuperSump® systems.  

The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

The CleanSpace Wall System can hold back water vapor passing through your foundation walls, directing it to your sump pump. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!  If you have stone walls, an exposed ledge in your basement, or dirt floors, CleanSpace is the perfect solution! With its 25-year warranty from rips or tears, you can be sure it's strong enough to do the job!

Finally, the SuperSump Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!

With this comprehensive waterproofing system in place thanks to Sure-Dry, these homeowners were able to finish their basement free of worry about water damage!
