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.

Before: A homeowner in Schofield, WI noticed their garage floor had become uneven over time, with a large crack running directly through the slab and portions of the concrete settling lower than the surrounding floor. The homeowner knew the garage was in need of concrete leveling before the settlement continued to worsen and create additional cracking and safety concerns. Issues like this are common throughout Central Wisconsin due to soil movement, moisture changes, and seasonal freeze-thaw conditions affecting concrete slabs.
After: Our Sure-Dry team inspected the garage floor and used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the settled concrete slab. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods that use heavier material beneath the slab, PolyLevel is lightweight, minimally invasive, and cures quickly for long-lasting support. The garage floor was successfully leveled, helping restore a safer, more uniform surface while reducing future settlement concerns.

Before: A homeowner in Schofield, WI was dealing with uneven concrete across both the driveway and front walkway, creating noticeable settlement, cracking, and tripping concerns near the front entrance of the home. Over time, sections of the concrete had shifted due to soil movement and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, leaving the homeowner searching for a long-term concrete leveling solution before the damage continued to spread.
After: Our Sure-Dry team lifted and stabilized the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that provides precise lifting control without adding additional weight beneath the slab. NexusPro helps protect joints and cracks from water intrusion that can contribute to future soil washout and settlement. The driveway and walkway were restored to a safer, more even appearance while helping improve long-term durability.

Before: A homeowner in Schofield, WI noticed the concrete walkway leading from the sidewalk to the front door had become uneven over time, creating visible settlement and potential tripping hazards along the main entrance path. Sections of the walkway had shifted due to soil movement and seasonal freeze-thaw conditions common throughout Wisconsin, leaving the homeowner looking for a reliable concrete leveling solution before the condition worsened further.
After: Our Sure-Dry team restored the walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and level the settled concrete slabs. We also applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to seal the joints and help protect against water intrusion beneath the walkway. Unlike traditional mudjacking or slab jacking methods, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding foam that cures quickly and allows for precise lifting control without adding excess weight below the concrete. The front walkway was successfully leveled, helping improve both safety and curb appeal for the homeowner.

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!
