Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Wausau, WI had a front walkway leading from the public sidewalk to the front door that had settled enough over the years to become uneven and awkward to walk across. Several slabs had dropped, creating noticeable height differences between sections of concrete and causing water to sit in the lower spots after rain. During the winter, those uneven areas would collect ice and snow, making the walkway even more of a safety concern.
Like many homes around Marathon County, the combination of freeze-thaw weather and shifting moisture under the concrete had slowly caused the slabs to sink out of level. The homeowner wanted to fix the walkway before the tripping hazards became worse and avoid the cost of tearing out and replacing the entire sidewalk.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled walkway slabs leading from the sidewalk to the front entrance. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and raise the affected sections back closer to level with minimal disruption to the property. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works especially well for precise lifting along walkways and entrance paths like this.
Once the concrete was leveled, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the slabs. By the end of the project, the front walkway had smoother transitions, looked much cleaner, and was safer to walk from the sidewalk up to the front door.

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!

The customer noticed water on the basement floor where it connects with the column and asked us for a solution. Using the DryTrak Interior Basement Draining System we were able to redirect the water seepage to flow down into a drainage channel instead of at the base of the column. The customer was overjoyed that we had a process and product to help him!

The crawl space in this Wausau, WI home had issues with water, pests, and drafts which were affecting the living space above it. Sure-Dry installed a water control drainage system and encapsulated the floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vaper Barrier System and SilverGlo Wall Insulation Panels to effectively control the moisture and temperature. The homeowners were thrilled with the results and excited to enjoy a drier and warmer home this winter.
