Cracked Concrete Garage Floor Repaired & Sealed in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had a garage floor with settled and uneven concrete slabs that created noticeable low spots and uneven transitions. With the freeze-thaw cycles common throughout the Northwoods, changing soil conditions beneath concrete can contribute to settlement over time. The homeowner needed a concrete lifting solution that could correct the slabs without the disruption of removing and replacing the garage floor.
After
Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and level the settled garage floor. Small injection ports allowed the lightweight polyurethane foam to expand beneath the concrete, fill underlying voids, and raise the slabs toward their proper position. The joints and cracks were then sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete.
Unlike traditional mudjacking, which pumps a heavier cement-based slurry beneath a slab, PolyLevel adds significantly less weight and allows for precise lifting with smaller injection holes. The finished garage floor is now more level, with sealed joints and a cleaner, more uniform surface.

Settling, Failing Foundation Repaired and Stabilized with Piering System in Minocqua, WI
Before
A lake home in Minocqua, WI, was experiencing foundation settlement that threatened the long-term stability of the structure. Homes near lakes can encounter challenging soil conditions, including soils affected by changing groundwater levels and moisture, which can contribute to settlement beneath a foundation. The homeowner needed a proven foundation repair solution capable of reaching stable, load-bearing soils below the home.
After
Sure-Dry installed Push Pier Foundation Piering System beneath the affected portions of the lake home's foundation. The steel piers were hydraulically driven through the weaker soils until reaching competent load-bearing material, creating stable support for the structure. The home's weight could then be transferred through the pier system to the stronger soils below.
By addressing the underlying settlement rather than simply repairing visible symptoms, the foundation repair provided permanent stabilization and greater peace of mind for the homeowner.

Crawl Space Moisture & Odor Issues Resolved with Vapor Barrier System in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, was dealing with a damp, exposed crawl space where moisture from the ground could contribute to musty odors, elevated humidity, and poor conditions beneath the home. Crawl spaces throughout the Northwoods are especially vulnerable to seasonal moisture, changing groundwater conditions, and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles. The homeowner needed a crawl space repair solution that would isolate the home from the damp earth below.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space. The durable liner was installed across the floor and extended up the foundation walls, creating a continuous barrier between the home and moisture from the exposed ground.
By controlling ground moisture instead of allowing it to enter the crawl space, the encapsulation helps create a cleaner, drier environment beneath the home while reducing conditions that can contribute to musty odors and excess humidity.

Moisture & Insulation Crawl Space Issues Resolved Leading to a More Comfortable Home in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had an unsealed crawl space that allowed ground moisture and outside air to affect the area beneath the home. In the Northwoods, cold winters, humid summers, snowmelt, and changing soil moisture can make an untreated crawl space difficult to keep dry and energy efficient. The homeowner needed a comprehensive crawl space repair solution that addressed moisture, cold foundation walls, and air leakage around the rim joists.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from moisture in the ground below. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were installed along the foundation walls to provide an additional thermal barrier, while RimTight was used around the rim joist area to help seal air leaks where outside air can enter the crawl space.
Together, the encapsulation, insulation, and air-sealing improvements created a cleaner, drier, and better-insulated crawl space while helping the homeowner improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.

Crawl Space Water, Insulation & Humidity Repair in Minocqua, WI
Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, had a damp, poorly insulated crawl space where exposed ground moisture, cold foundation walls, and outside air infiltration were affecting conditions beneath the home. These problems are common in the Northwoods, where snowmelt, humid summers, cold winters, and changing soil moisture can contribute to musty crawl space odors, elevated humidity, and uncomfortable floors. The homeowner needed a complete crawl space repair approach that addressed moisture, drainage, insulation, air leakage, and humidity control.
After
Sure-Dry installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to encapsulate the crawl space and isolate the home from ground moisture. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation Panels were added along the foundation walls, while RimTight was applied at the rim joists to help reduce outside-air infiltration. A TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed to provide dependable water removal, and a SaniDry Dehumidification System was added to control humidity and help reduce conditions that contribute to musty odors.
Together, these systems provide moisture control, drainage, insulation, air sealing, and dehumidification to create a cleaner, drier, and better-protected crawl space beneath the Minocqua home.
