Before:
A homeowner in Merrill, WI, was experiencing frequent water seepage along the basement floor and walls. During heavy rains, water pooled near the perimeter, leaving damp spots and an earthy odor that made the space unusable for storage. The homeowner wanted a long-term solution that would handle both surface water and groundwater intrusion while keeping the basement dry year-round.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a complete waterproofing system featuring the Sedona™ SaniDry™ Dehumidifier, TripleSafe® Sump Pump System, and WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System. Together, these systems capture and channel incoming water to the sump basin, automatically discharge it safely outside, and maintain low humidity levels to prevent mold and odor.
The result is a clean, dry, and healthy basement environment that remains protected even during heavy rainfall—giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a space they can confidently use.

Before The concrete wrap-around patio and walkway leading to this Merrill, WI home had settled over time, creating uneven sections and visible gaps throughout the entry path. The sinking concrete created tripping hazards near the entrance and allowed water to collect along portions of the patio during heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Concerns like these are common for homeowners searching for concrete leveling, concrete lifting contractor services, and concrete step repair in Lincoln County due to Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils.
Traditional mudjacking methods were considered, but the homeowner wanted a longer-lasting concrete lifting solution that would not add additional weight beneath the slab or require extensive disruption around the home’s entrance area.

After Sure-Dry installed the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled concrete patio and walkway sections surrounding the home’s entrance. This lightweight concrete lifting system was injected beneath the slabs to restore proper elevation and eliminate dangerous uneven surfaces. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods that use heavy grout mixtures, PolyLevel cures quickly, adds minimal weight to the soil, and provides precise lifting control for long-term concrete leveling performance.
To finish the repair, the crew sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion and further soil washout beneath the slabs. The completed repair restored a safer, cleaner entrance while helping protect the patio from future settlement issues common throughout Central Wisconsin.

Before: A homeowner in Merrill, WI had several concrete areas around the home that had started settling and shifting over the years, including a backyard patio, the wrap-around walkway between the house and garage, and the concrete landings beneath two entry step areas. The walkway leading toward the backyard patio had become especially uneven in spots, making it awkward to walk through the side of the property. The concrete around both step entrances had also dropped enough that the transitions into the home no longer felt level or safe.
Like a lot of homes around Lincoln County, years of moisture changes and Northern Wisconsin freeze-thaw weather had slowly caused the soil beneath the concrete to settle. Cracks and open joints had started letting more water underneath the slabs, which only continued making the problem worse over time.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled patio, wrap-around walkway, and concrete entry areas around the home. By injecting the foam beneath the slabs, the crew was able to fill voids underneath the concrete and raise the affected sections back closer to level without the need for a full tear-out and replacement. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and works well for detailed lifting around steps, patios, and walkways.
After the lifting work was completed, 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 transitions around the entrances were smoother, the walkway between the house and garage was much safer to use, and the backyard patio area looked far more even and cleaned up overall.

Before:
A homeowner in Friesland, WI, was struggling with recurring water intrusion in their basement after heavy rain. Water seeped in along the perimeter and one wall showed signs of moisture damage, creating a damp, musty environment. The existing sump pump couldn’t keep up during storms, and the homeowner was concerned about protecting stored belongings and maintaining a dry, usable space.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team designed a complete waterproofing solution using the WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture and direct incoming water to a newly installed TripleSafe® pump system for reliable removal. To address wall moisture, a section of the basement was lined with CleanSpace® wall system, creating a vapor barrier that channels any seepage directly into the drainage system.To further prevent air leakage and moisture intrusion from the rim joist area, the crew installed RimTight™ insulation and air sealing for improved energy efficiency and protection.

The result was a clean, dry, and protected basement that now stays dry even during heavy rain, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
