Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
At this lakeside cabin in Plainfield, WI, the homeowners had begun noticing their floors feeling soft and uneven when walking through the home. Over time, gaps had started appearing around trim and doors, and the floor bounce became more noticeable—especially in areas above the crawl space. Like many older cabins near lakes, shifting soils and moisture in the crawl space had weakened the original support system, allowing the floor joists to sag.

After:
To restore stability, our team installed the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System beneath the home. These heavy-duty, adjustable steel supports were placed on engineered bases and precisely fitted to reinforce the existing floor structure. Once installed, the SmartJacks were tightened to lift and stabilize the sagging floor system, helping bring the floors back toward their original position while providing long-term structural support.

With the crawl space properly reinforced, the cabin’s floors are now solid, level, and structurally supported, giving the homeowners peace of mind that their lakeside retreat is safe and stable for years to come.

Before
This home’s block foundation was showing clear signs of structural movement, including horizontal cracking and measurable inward bowing along multiple basement walls. Lateral soil pressure and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles common in Wisconsin had gradually compromised the structural integrity of the foundation. The homeowner began searching for foundation repair near me after noticing worsening cracks and wall displacement.
These conditions indicated the need for professional foundation repair Wisconsin service from an experienced foundation repair contractor to properly shore and stabilize the failing walls.

After
Sure-Dry reinforced and stabilized the foundation using a combination of PowerBrace™ steel beam systems and GeoLock® Wall Anchors to counteract ongoing lateral soil pressure. The PowerBrace™ beams were anchored to the basement floor and floor framing system above, while GeoLock® anchors were embedded into stable soil beyond the foundation to permanently secure the most affected wall sections.
The foundation is now structurally stabilized and properly supported, preventing further inward movement and restoring long-term reliability to the home.

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.

This was the case for the front concrete stoop of this home in Plover, WI.  

To lift and level this home's front stoop, Sure-Dry Basement Systems used their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system.   PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

IceGuard Discharge Line System installed on this home in Plover to ensure that any water being pumped outside from their sump pump won't freeze and cause water to back up during the cold winter months. 

Sump pump discharge lines are fed outside the home, meaning it's possible they could freeze during the cold winter months. A backed-up discharge line means your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. Our solution to this problem is the IceGuard® discharge line system.

The IceGuard® fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When the main line is working correctly, water simply flows out as usual. However, when the discharge line is frozen, the IceGuard® allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines. The IceGuard® is compatible with all our sump pump systems.

When the homeowners in Plover, WI, discovered cracks in their basement walls letting in water, they knew they needed a solid fix. As you can see in the 'before' photo, water seepage had begun to take its toll. Stepping in to help, our team installed FlexiSpan to effectively seal the cracks, WaterGuard to ensure proper drainage, and then a  SuperSump to pump out any intruding water. (The after photo shows wet concrete that was curing following WaterGuard installation.)
