Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: This Wausau, WI, home had a damp, unsealed crawl space with exposed soil and poor insulation. Moisture and cold drafts entered freely, leading to musty odors, chilly floors, and high humidity levels inside the home.

After: Sure-Dry completed a full crawl space encapsulation using the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System and RimTight™ insulation. The vapor barrier now keeps out ground moisture, while RimTight seals the rim joists to stop drafts and improve energy performance throughout the home.

The homeowner now enjoys a warmer, healthier, and more energy-efficient home with lasting protection against moisture and air leaks.

Before:
The homeowners in Wausau were dealing with musty odors, high humidity, and cold floors above their crawl space. During inspection, the space showed exposed soil, moisture intrusion, deteriorated insulation, and substantial air leakage at the rim joists. These issues were being amplified by Marathon County’s mixed soil conditions and seasonal temperature fluctuations, causing condensation and heat loss throughout the home.

After:
Sure-Dry encapsulated the entire crawl space using CleanSpace® to seal off ground moisture and create a controlled environment. RimTight™ air sealing was used along the perimeter to stop outside air infiltration and improve overall thermal performance.
The finished system now delivers a dry, energy-efficient crawl space with improved comfort and reduced humidity inside the home.

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.

Before

This Wausau, WI homeowner had a concrete driveway, front walkway, and patio that had settled over time, creating uneven slabs, widening joints, and noticeable trip hazards leading to the home's entrance. During our inspection, we found that years of water infiltration, soil erosion, and Central Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles had created voids beneath the concrete, allowing sections of the driveway and walkway to sink. Rather than replacing otherwise sound concrete, we recommended repairing it with PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which pumps a heavy cement slurry beneath the slab, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that won't add unnecessary weight to the supporting soils, cures in minutes, and provides precise, long-lasting lifting.

After

Our crew completed a detailed elevation assessment before strategically injecting PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the driveway, front walkway, and patio to fill hidden voids and accurately restore each slab to a safe, even elevation. Once the concrete was properly aligned, we sealed the control joints and cracks with NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from reaching the soils beneath the slabs and causing future settlement. The homeowner now has a smoother, safer entrance, improved curb appeal, and a durable concrete lifting solution built to withstand Wisconsin's changing seasons.

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!
