Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

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.

A sump pump can be an incredibly valuable resource in your home. When water gets into your basement, the sump pump is what protects you from a flood that could cause expensive property damage, which is exactly what happened to this home in Amherst, WI.  

To protect this home from future flooding and water damage, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.  The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!

The concrete porch in front of the door settled and created a large step from the front door. Using our PolyLevel Injection Foam, we could lift the sinking area to match back up with the house. Our customer was very pleased with the outcome.

Before, our Amherst, WI, homeowner faced frustrating water seepage that left their basement damp and walls stained, compromising comfort and risking property damage. Recognizing the urgent need, especially with in-floor heating upstairs, Sure-Dry stepped in to transform their space. As you can see in the after photo, our team installed a SuperSump pump and DryTrack drainage system, effectively addressing the root causes. Now, they have a fully waterproofed basement, ready to face any storm, ensuring a secure, dry, and comfortable home atmosphere.

The concrete driveway of this home in Markesan, WI was sunken and uneven where it met the garage floor.  Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to level the concrete using their patented 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.
