Expert Rhinelander, WI's Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

Objective:

A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI contacted Sure-Dry after dealing with a crawl space that had cracked walls, water intrusion, and poor insulation. The moisture and lack of support were starting to impact the rest of the home—especially the kitchen floor, which was sagging and flexing when walked on. The homeowner wanted a permanent fix for both the structural issues and the moisture problem.

Challenge:

The crawl space walls had been cracked since the home was built two decades ago, and over time, the cracks allowed water in. Without a vapor barrier or insulation, humidity built up and the cold air affected the floors above. The original support system had shifted, leading to floor joist movement and a noticeably soft, uneven kitchen floor.

Solution:

Sure-Dry designed and installed a comprehensive repair plan:

• CleanSpace® encapsulation with drainage matting to seal out moisture and direct water away

• SilverGlo® insulation for improved thermal protection and moisture control

• SmartJack® support posts to lift and permanently stabilize the sagging kitchen floor

• New airlock door with a reframed wall for improved crawl space access and air sealing

• BrightWall® panels to cover exposed wood and add a clean, finished look to the space

Results:

The crawl space is now dry, insulated, and structurally reinforced, and the kitchen floor feels solid and secure. The homeowner is happy knowing the problems were fixed the right way—and that the repair will protect their home for years to come.

Objective:
A homeowner in Rhinelander, WI reached out to Sure-Dry after getting fed up with the jarring bump every time they pulled into the garage. Over time, the concrete at the garage apron had settled, leaving an uneven transition between the driveway and the garage floor. It wasn’t just annoying—it was getting worse, and they didn’t want to risk further damage to the structure or their vehicle.

Challenge:
Garage apron settling is common in Wisconsin, especially with the freeze/thaw cycle and soil movement. In this case, the slab had sunk enough to create a visible gap and an uncomfortable dip right at the entry. The customer wanted a long-lasting fix without tearing up the concrete.

Solution:
Our team used PolyLevel® to lift the sunken slab back into place. This lightweight, expanding foam is injected beneath the concrete and raises it gently and precisely. Once everything was level again, we sealed all the joints with NexusPro® to prevent water from seeping in and eroding the soil below.

Results:
The fix was fast, clean, and permanent. The garage entry is now smooth and level, with no more bump or settling to worry about. The customer was thrilled to have the problem solved quickly—and without the mess of a full replacement.
