Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

When a homeowner in Waupaca noticed their concrete driveway beginning to sink, signaling trouble on the horizon, they turned to us at Sure-Dry. Our team swiftly addressed the issue, employing PolyLevel injection to elevate and stabilize the sinking concrete, as vividly illustrated in these before and after photos. Thanks to Sure-Dry, the driveway has been remarkably restored, ensuring a safe, aesthetically pleasing, and durable surface for years to come, all while delivering a seamless and worry-free experience for the homeowner.

Before: Settling Garage Aprons Caused a Rough Entry

In Waupaca, this homeowner had issues at both their attached and detached garage aprons. Over time, the concrete in front of each garage had sunk, creating a noticeable dip that made driving in and out frustrating—and even a little risky. Open joints were also letting in water, which only made the settling worse with each freeze-thaw cycle.

They wanted everything lifted and sealed to prevent further damage and restore a smoother entry.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Fully Sealed

We raised the sunken slabs at both garage aprons using PolyLevel®, which quickly and cleanly lifts concrete back to its proper height. Then, we sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, long-lasting sealant that keeps water out and helps protect the repair long-term.

Now both garage entries are smooth, solid, and sealed—safe to drive on and protected from future settling.

Before
In Waupaca, WI, the homeowner wanted to finish the basement into a safe and livable space but had only small, non-compliant windows that offered no emergency escape route or natural light. The foundation wall suitable for installation was partially below grade with dense soil conditions, requiring careful excavation and drainage planning to prevent future water issues. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist evaluated the structure and confirmed that a full egress window installation was necessary to meet Wisconsin building code and ensure basement safety.

After
Sure-Dry’s certified crew excavated the area outside the foundation and used precision-cutting methods to create a clean opening for the new egress system. A durable, insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, rust-resistant window well featuring proper drainage tied into the home’s waterproofing system. After backfilling and restoring the exterior grade, the new window provided both a compliant emergency exit and significantly more daylight and ventilation.
The homeowner was pleased to have a safe, code-approved basement that now feels open, bright, and ready for finishing.

Before: A homeowner in Lowell, WI had reached the point where the concrete driveway and walkway leading to the front door were falling apart faster every season. Large cracks had formed throughout several slabs, sections of the concrete had sunk badly out of level, and parts of the walkway had become rough enough that family and guests had to watch where they stepped coming up to the house. Water was also settling into the low spots after rain, which only continued washing out the soil underneath and making the problem worse over time.
Around Dodge County, severe freeze-thaw weather and years of moisture working under older concrete can really take a toll on driveways and walkways like this. The homeowner wanted to avoid the cost and mess of replacing everything and started looking into concrete lifting and concrete leveling options instead.

After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and front walkway slabs. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise several badly sunken sections back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid putting extra stress on already shifting soils beneath the slabs.
After the lifting work was finished, the crew sealed the large cracks and open joints using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the time the project was completed, the driveway and walkway looked dramatically better, the uneven sections were much safer to walk across, and the whole front approach to the home felt cleaned up and more solid again.

The concrete walkway this home in Harshaw, WI was sunken and uneven due to soil erosion underneath the concrete slabs.  On top of that, it was riddled with dangerous, unsightly cracks caused by the shifting and sinking of the concrete. 

To lift and level the concrete, Sure-Dry Basement Systems used their PolyLevel® Injection Foam system.  PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
