Sunken Concrete Patio Repair in Berlin, WI
Before
The homeowner in Berlin, WI noticed the small concrete patio outside the rear service door of their garage had settled over time, causing water to collect against the slab and near the doorway after rain. In addition to creating an uneven walking surface, the improper slope raised concerns about moisture reaching the garage and contributing to future water problems. Homeowners searching for concrete lifting, concrete lifting company, concrete lifting contractor, concrete leveling, or concrete leveling contractor often experience similar issues when concrete settles because of soil movement beneath the slab.
After
Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel® High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise the settled slab and improve drainage away from the garage service door. Once the patio was properly positioned, the joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro® Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from entering beneath the concrete and causing additional settlement. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which relies on a heavy cement slurry, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures in minutes, and provides a long-lasting concrete lifting solution. The homeowner now has a safer patio with improved drainage that helps keep water away from the garage.

Foundation Wall Repair in Pine River, WI
While there are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, the most common reason is pressure from foundation soils. When clay soils get wet, they can expand and put tremendous pressure on a wall. When this force exceeds the wall's ability to resist it, the wall begins to fail in different ways. Cracking, bowing and tilting are the most common symptoms of foundation wall failure.
The block foundation wall of this home in Pine River, WI is an example of how pressure from the wet soil surrounding the foundation can cause bowing and cracking.
To permanently stabilize this block foundation wall, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Foundation Wall Anchor System. The Geo-Lock™ Foundation Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position.
