Sure-Dry serving Berlin, WI

In Berlin, a homeowner noticed their front walk and sections of the driveway had sunk over time, leaving toe-stubbing edges and gaps that funneled water toward the garage. After storms, puddles formed where slabs had settled, and winter only made the cracking worse.

Our crew recommended a two-step repair. First, we used PolyLevel®—a lightweight, high-density expanding foam—to stabilize the base soils, fill hidden voids, and precisely lift the slabs. We mapped low areas, drilled small (penny-size) ports, and monitored lift with levels to restore evenness and proper drainage away from the home. Next, we protected the repair by sealing joints and cracks with NexusPro®, which stays flexible through temperature swings and resists UV breakdown. Where needed, we set backer, applied NexusPro, and broadcast color-match sand so the joints blend in.

By the end of the day, the surfaces were smooth and the joints were sealed—improving safety, curb appeal, and long-term durability without the cost and disruption of full replacement.

In Berlin, a homeowner reached out after repeated rainstorms left damp edges along the basement floor and a noticeable musty smell. They’d moved boxes onto shelves and avoided using part of the space, especially worried that a power flicker might leave their old pump offline when they needed it most.

Our team proposed a two-part solution. First, we installed WaterGuard® along the interior perimeter to intercept groundwater right where it enters—at the wall–floor (cove) joint—so moisture doesn’t reach the surface. The WaterGuard channel carries water to the sump basin out of sight. Next, we upgraded the pumping system to UltraSump®, which adds high-capacity pumping, a sealed lid, alarm notification, and a dedicated battery backup so the system keeps working through outages and heavy flows.

With the new drainage and pumping in place, the basement remains clean and dry after storms, storage is protected, and the homeowner has confidence that even a power outage won’t compromise their home.

In Berlin, a homeowner reached out after noticing a widening horizontal crack and slight inward bowing along a basement wall. During wet spells, the wall deflected more, and small stair-step cracks began appearing near the corners. The family wanted a structural repair that didn’t require a full exterior excavation.

Our team recommended the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System. After surveying utilities and choosing anchor points beyond the active backfill zone, we cored small openings in the basement wall and drilled to the exterior. Galvanized earth anchors were set in stable soils, then connected to interior steel wall plates with high-strength rods. Once tightened, the anchors provided immediate stabilization against lateral pressure. A key benefit is adjustability: during scheduled service visits, the system can be incrementally tightened to help return the wall closer to plumb as soil conditions permit.

With GeoLock in place, the wall is stabilized, cracking is controlled, and the homeowner has long-term confidence—without the disruption of major excavation.
