Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Cracking Walls and a Wet, Musty Basement

In Wild Rose, this home was showing signs of serious foundation failure—stairstep cracks in the block walls, inward bowing, and water leaking in whenever it rained. The basement was constantly damp, smelled like mildew, and mold was starting to spread along the walls. The homeowner had had enough.

After: Stabilized Foundation and a Dry, Healthy Basement

We installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stop the wall movement and permanently stabilize the foundation. To handle the water issues, we added a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a new UltraSump® with battery backup, and IceGuard® discharge protection to keep things flowing during winter freezes.

Now, the basement is dry, secure, and mold-free—and the foundation is solid for years to come.

Before tackling their dream home renovations in Saint Germain, WI, one homeowner needed to address the critical state of their crawl space as captured in our 'before' photo. Notice the old, ineffective supports and the unprotected, damp environment. Our solutions, as visible in the 'after' photo, made the space look brand new. With the SmartJack system providing solid support, CleanSpace encapsulation sealing out moisture, and SilverGlo insulation enhancing energy efficiency, we transformed their crawl space, paving the way for their upcoming projects. This overhaul not only secured the foundation of their renovation plans but also ensured a healthier, more energy-efficient home⁠— true to our mission of delivering reliable and long-lasting solutions.

Before:
The homeowner in Amherst Junction, WI was dealing with recurring basement water issues every time it rained. Standing water would collect along the foundation walls and floor joints, leaving behind damp spots and a persistent musty odor. The existing sump system was outdated and unable to keep up with heavier storms, resulting in a wet and unusable basement space.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a complete waterproofing system featuring the WaterGuard® interior drainage channel and the TripleSafe™ sump pump. WaterGuard was placed along the perimeter footing to intercept and direct groundwater to the new TripleSafe system, which offers three levels of pump protection — including a battery backup — to ensure reliable performance in any condition.

With the system in place, the basement now remains clean, dry, and protected even during heavy rainfall, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.

Before:
In Amherst Junction, WI, the homeowner noticed a retaining wall near the lower-level walkout entrance beginning to lean and bow outward. Over time, soil pressure and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles had caused the wall to shift, threatening the stability of the structure and raising concerns about long-term safety. Visible cracking and movement along the block joints indicated that the wall was continuing to deteriorate.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the retaining wall. Each anchor was embedded deep into stable soil beyond the failure zone, then connected to interior steel wall plates and tightened to pull the wall back toward its original position. This system provided immediate stabilization and the potential for further straightening over time.

The homeowner was relieved to see the wall secure and reinforced, ensuring lasting protection for the walkout area.

Before:
A homeowner in Amherst Junction, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after noticing their garage floor had begun to settle and develop uneven sections. The sinking concrete created visible cracks and gaps at the joints, allowing water and road salt to seep beneath the slab. During heavy rain and snowmelt, standing water accumulated near the garage entrance, increasing the risk of further deterioration. The homeowner wanted to restore the surface without the cost and disruption of replacing the entire floor.

After:
Sure-Dry’s concrete repair team leveled the garage slab using the PolyLevel® system. This advanced polyurethane injection method filled voids beneath the concrete and gently lifted the sunken areas back to their original elevation. Once leveling was complete, NexusPro® joint and crack sealant was applied to protect against water intrusion and seasonal expansion. The result was a smooth, even garage floor with sealed joints and improved drainage. 

The homeowner was pleased to have a safe, durable, and maintenance-free solution that enhanced both the appearance and integrity of the space.
