Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Schofield noticed that sections of their driveway and walkway had begun to settle, creating uneven surfaces and noticeable gaps between slabs. The sinking concrete not only affected the home’s curb appeal but also posed tripping hazards and allowed water to pool near the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the sunken concrete using PolyLevel® to restore the slabs to their proper height. Once leveled, NexusPro® joint sealant was applied to fill cracks and joints, preventing water infiltration and future soil washout.

The finished result provided a safer, smoother surface and a clean, lasting appearance the homeowner could trust.

Before:
A homeowner in Schofield was dealing with a damp, uncomfortable crawl space that often left musty odors throughout the home. The exposed soil and poorly insulated walls allowed moisture and cool air to enter freely, leading to energy loss and poor air quality.

After:
Sure-Dry transformed the space by encapsulating it with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal out ground moisture and humidity. SilverGlo® insulation panels were installed along the crawl space walls to improve energy efficiency and help maintain consistent temperatures.

The result was a bright, clean, and dry environment that improved comfort and air quality throughout the home.

Before
In Schofield, WI, the homeowners wanted to convert their basement into a safe and livable space but were limited by small, non-compliant windows that did not meet egress code. The foundation was poured concrete, and the proposed installation wall was located near existing utilities and drainage piping, requiring precise excavation and cutting to avoid disruption. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist determined that installing a properly sized egress window would create a safe emergency exit, improve lighting, and ensure compliance with Wisconsin building code.

After
Sure-Dry’s installation crew began by carefully excavating the exterior area beside the foundation, protecting nearby utilities and ensuring stable soil retention. A clean, code-compliant opening was cut into the wall, and a thermally efficient egress window was installed with a reinforced window well featuring an integrated ladder and drain line. The drain was tied into the home’s waterproofing system to prevent water buildup, and the surrounding area was backfilled and graded for long-term stability and drainage.
The homeowners were pleased to have a brighter, safer basement that meets all egress code requirements and is now ready for finishing.

Before:
This Schofield, WI homeowner had an existing waterproofing system that performed well, keeping their basement dry during heavy rain and snowmelt. However, the sump discharge line exited near the exterior stairs, creating pooling and icing concerns in winter. The short discharge placement made it difficult to divert water safely away from the foundation and walkway, posing both drainage and safety issues.

After:
The Sure-Dry team installed an IceGuard drainage system to carry water safely away from the home’s foundation and direct it toward a proper drainage area. This underground system prevents freezing and eliminates surface runoff issues near the stairs while maintaining full sump performance.

The result is a clean, efficient discharge setup that protects both the home and the homeowner — ensuring year-round drainage without winter hazards.

Before:
In Schofield, WI, a homeowner noticed severe inward movement in a basement wall, including horizontal cracking, stair-step fractures, and measurable bowing through the center of the block. Marathon County’s dense, moisture-retentive soils were exerting high lateral pressure, especially during freeze–thaw cycles, causing the wall to shift inward. The displacement was greater at mid-wall height—an indication that a traditional anchor system alone would not provide enough vertical restraint, making channel anchor reinforcement the appropriate solution.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Channel Anchors to stabilize the failing wall and distribute soil pressure evenly from top to bottom. Each channel was secured to the floor and ceiling joists, while anchor rods were driven into stable, undisturbed soil outside the pressure zone. Torque readings confirmed proper soil engagement before the system was tensioned into place.
The wall is now locked against further movement, with adjustable hardware that allows gradual straightening over time—ideal for the clay-heavy soil conditions common across Central Wisconsin.
