Sure-Dry serving Kimberly, WI

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry after observing horizontal cracking and inward movement along a basement foundation wall. During our inspection, we confirmed the wall was experiencing structural movement caused by long-term hydrostatic and lateral soil pressure, a common condition in Wisconsin where changing moisture levels and freeze-thaw cycles place continual stress on below-grade foundation walls.

Our Design Specialist recommended the GeoLock Wall Anchor System because the wall was an excellent candidate for permanent stabilization without requiring complete foundation replacement. Our installation crew excavated outside the home to place earth anchors in stable, undisturbed soil before connecting them to interior steel wall plates with galvanized anchor rods. Once tensioned, the system immediately stabilized the wall against additional movement and provided the opportunity for future adjustments to help restore the wall toward its original position. The completed repair gave the homeowner long-term confidence that their foundation wall is secure and protected against continued soil pressure.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry after repeated basement water intrusion left them concerned about moisture damage and the long-term condition of their home. During our inspection, we identified water entering along the floor-to-wall joint due to hydrostatic pressure, a common issue in Wisconsin where saturated soils and freeze-thaw cycles increase groundwater pressure against foundation walls.

Our Design Specialist recommended a complete basement waterproofing system tailored to the home's needs. The installation crew first applied the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System to capture moisture entering through the walls and direct it downward. Next, the DryTrak Interior Drainage System was installed along the perimeter to intercept groundwater before it reached the basement floor. Finally, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed to efficiently remove collected water from the home, providing dependable protection even during heavy storms and power outages. The completed system gave the homeowner a clean, dry basement and confidence that their foundation is protected against future water intrusion.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry to install an egress window as part of plans to improve the usability and safety of their basement. Without an emergency escape opening, the lower level lacked the features needed for future finished living space and felt dark and enclosed.

After determining the ideal location, our crew excavated outside the home and carefully cut a new opening through the concrete foundation wall. A Egress Window was installed along with a properly sized window well and drainage system designed to direct water away from the foundation. Every component was installed to meet code requirements while helping protect the home from water intrusion around the new opening. The finished project transformed the basement with increased natural light, improved ventilation, and a safe emergency exit, making the space more comfortable, functional, and valuable.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry after becoming concerned about a bowing foundation wall in their bi-level home. During our inspection, we found horizontal cracking and inward movement caused by long-term soil pressure against the foundation. The project presented an additional challenge because a concrete patio covered the area outside the damaged wall, while the interior anchor plates needed to be installed directly below the basement windows without affecting their operation.

Our Design Specialist developed a repair plan utilizing the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. The installation crew first excavated through the concrete patio to install the exterior earth anchors in stable soil beyond the zone of pressure. Inside the basement, the anchor plates were precisely positioned beneath the windows and connected to the exterior anchors using heavy-duty galvanized steel rods. After tightening the system to stabilize the wall, the excavation areas were restored, leaving the homeowner with a structurally reinforced foundation designed to resist continued soil pressure for years to come.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry to add an egress window to their basement, improving both safety and usability. The basement had limited natural light and did not have a compliant emergency escape opening, making it less practical for finished living space and future renovations.

After evaluating the home's foundation and determining the ideal installation location, our crew carefully excavated the exterior, cut a new opening through the concrete foundation wall, and installed a Egress Window with a properly sized window well and drainage system. Every step of the installation was completed with attention to waterproofing and long-term performance to help protect against water intrusion around the new opening. The finished project transformed the basement into a brighter, safer space while providing the homeowner with the peace of mind that comes from having a reliable emergency exit.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry after noticing sections of their concrete driveway had settled, creating uneven slabs and visible gaps between joints. Besides making the driveway less attractive, the settlement allowed water to collect and infiltrate beneath the concrete, increasing the likelihood of additional movement during Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles.

Following a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist determined the driveway was an excellent candidate for lifting rather than replacement because the concrete remained structurally sound. Our installation crew strategically injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the affected slabs, carefully raising them back to their proper elevation. Once the lifting was complete, the joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to create a durable, flexible barrier against water infiltration. The finished project restored a smooth driving surface, improved safety, and helped extend the life of the existing driveway without the expense and disruption of replacement.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the stamped concrete border around their rear patio had settled and tipped away from the main patio surface. Although the decorative concrete itself had remained in good shape, the independent movement of the border created an uneven edge that detracted from the patio's appearance and posed a potential tripping hazard.

After evaluating the site, our Design Specialist determined the settlement was caused by soil movement beneath the outer decorative border rather than damage to the concrete itself. Because the slab was structurally sound, replacement was unnecessary. Our crew injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled section, precisely raising and stabilizing the stamped concrete until it matched the elevation of the adjoining patio. The repair restored a smooth, uniform transition while preserving the decorative finish and providing a long-lasting solution to future settlement.

A homeowner in Kimberly contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the rear stamped concrete patio had settled several inches away from the home. Although the decorative concrete itself remained in very good condition, the separation between the slab and foundation had become a concern because it allowed water to collect directly against the home during heavy rains. Left unaddressed, this type of settlement can increase the risk of water infiltration and accelerate soil erosion beneath the slab.

Our Design Specialist evaluated the patio and confirmed the issue was caused by normal soil settlement rather than structural damage to the concrete. Because the stamped concrete had very few cracks, it was an ideal candidate for lifting instead of replacement. Small injection ports were strategically drilled, allowing PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely raise the patio back against the home while preserving the decorative surface. Once the slab was restored to its proper elevation, the gap along the foundation was sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep surface water from washing beneath the patio or finding its way toward the foundation. The completed project restored the appearance of the stamped concrete patio while providing long-term protection against future settlement and water intrusion.
