Winneconne, WI's Dependable Contractor for Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

During inspection, the Sure-Dry System Design Specialist confirmed that the homeowner’s existing egress window was in good condition, but the surrounding well had corroded and no longer provided adequate protection or drainage. The specialist recommended upgrading to a modern egress window well system that would securely integrate with the existing window and improve overall performance.

The Sure-Dry installation team carefully excavated and removed the old well, then installed the new, heavy-duty unit with drainage stone at the base to direct water away from the foundation. A clear cover was added to keep out rainwater, leaves, and debris while still allowing natural light to enter. Once complete, the egress window area looked refreshed and functioned perfectly — giving the homeowner peace of mind and a cleaner, more reliable exterior finish.

During inspection we documented lateral pressure on one crawl space wall along with elevated humidity and cold floors above. To address structure first, our crew installed GeoLock® anchors: small exterior pits were set beyond the active backfill, galvanized earth anchors were placed, and interior wall plates were tensioned to provide immediate stabilization with the option for future tightening.

With the wall secured, we focused on moisture and comfort. We laid CleanSpace® across the soil and up the walls, sealing seams and wrapping piers to create a continuous vapor barrier. We fitted SilverGlo® insulation on the crawl walls to boost R-value and reflect radiant heat back into the space. At the low point, we installed TripleSafe®—primary, secondary, and battery-backup pumps under a sealed lid with alarm—for reliable groundwater control. Finally, a SaniDry™ Sedona® dehumidifier with a dedicated drain was commissioned to hold a steady ~45–50% RH.

The result is a stabilized crawl space that stays clean and dry year-round, warmer floors upstairs, and fresher indoor air—delivering lasting peace of mind.

Tight access and uneven ground made this crawl space tricky, but the symptoms were clear: cold foyer floors, musty smells after rain, and visible air gaps at the rim. Our crew prepped the area and laid CleanSpace® across the soil, running it up the walls and wrapping piers to create a continuous vapor barrier that’s mechanically fastened for a snug fit. We added SilverGlo® on the crawl walls for thermal performance and radiant heat reflection, then sealed the perimeter and utility penetrations with RimTight™ to stop drafts at their source. The result is a clean, serviceable crawl that stays dry and stable—delivering a warmer entryway and fresher air upstairs.

Our crew mapped the low areas inside the garage and marked lift points along the door line. After drilling small (penny-size) injection ports, we placed PolyLevel® foam to stabilize soils, fill hidden voids, and raise the slab in controlled increments—checking with a laser to align the floor with the door threshold and restore proper pitch. Once the lift was complete, we cleaned the joints, set backer rod, and applied NexusPro® to seal control joints and cracks, helping keep moisture and de-icing salts out of the base soils. The result: a smooth, tight-sealing garage floor without the cost and downtime of tear-out and replacement.

After repeated rains left damp edges around the basement and a persistent musty smell, our inspection showed active cove-joint seepage and high relative humidity. We placed WaterGuard® along the interior perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. That drainage ties directly into TripleSafe®, which combines everyday pumping capacity with a high-volume secondary pump and a battery-backup pump for storms and outages—finished with a sealed lid and alarm for safety and a tidy look.

To address airborne moisture, we installed a SaniDry™ dehumidifier and set the target to ~45–50% RH. The unit drains automatically, so there’s no bucket to empty, and its filtration helps improve overall air quality. With drainage, redundant pumping, and active dehumidification working together, the homeowner gained a dry, fresh basement ready for storage or projects—through every season.

During inspection we mapped wall deflection, noted stair-step cracking, and shot laser readings across the first floor. The plan paired lateral wall stabilization with vertical load correction. Inside the basement, we set zinc-coated PowerBrace™ I-beams against the bowed wall, anchored at the slab and secured to adjustable top brackets so future service can incrementally tighten the system toward plumb. For the floor system, we laid out SmartJacks® locations along the sagging beam, installed compacted base/engineered footings, added a supplemental steel beam where needed, and pre-loaded the jacks to lift and re-establish uniform support. The result is a serviceable, clean installation that preserves the character of the farmhouse while delivering modern, adjustable structural protection.

Recently, a homeowner in Winneconne, WI, found themselves facing a common yet aggravating issue — uneven concrete around their home. Concerned that this could lead to more significant problems or even pose a safety risk, they reached out to us, hoping to find a lasting solution. Understanding the importance of a safe, level surface, our team was ready to take on the challenge. Upon the homeowner's call, our friendly Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection appointment, ensuring the process was as smooth and stress-free as possible. A System Design Specialist from our Sales Team then visited the home to assess the situation firsthand. After a thorough inspection, it was clear that the concrete slabs had shifted over time, causing significant levels of unevenness. Our recommendation was straightforward: PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the ideal solutions to correct the uneven concrete, offer a durable fix, and ultimately prevent future shifting or sinking. The production phase kicked off with our skilled foreman and professional installers arriving at the home, prepared with the recommended products. Using PolyLevel, a high-strength polymer injection, we lifted and leveled the sunken concrete slabs to their original position. Then, NexusPro was applied to seal cracks and joints, safeguarding against water intrusion and further damage. The precision and care our team dedicated to this job were evident, with noticeable improvements visible quickly. Upon completing the project, we ensured the workspace was cleaned up, leaving no sign that we were ever there -- except, of course, for the visibly leveled concrete. The outcome was just as we hoped: a happy homeowner relieved to have a safe, even surface around their property once more. This fix not only enhanced the home's aesthetics but also restored peace of mind,

These homeowners in Winneconne were concerned that the water from their sump pump would freeze and then back-up into their basement and called Sure-Dry to see what we had to fix it. We were able to install an IceGuard Discharge Line System to ensure this issue wouldn't happen, even during the coldest winter months.

Sump pump discharge lines are fed outside the home, meaning it's possible they could freeze during the cold winter months. A backed-up discharge line means your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. Our solution to this problem is the IceGuard® discharge line system.

The IceGuard® fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When the main line is working correctly, water simply flows out as usual. However, when the discharge line is frozen, the IceGuard® allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines. The IceGuard® is compatible with all our sump pump systems.
