Exterior Curtain Drain Installation in Manitowish Waters, WI
Before: Water Pooling Around the Foundation
This Manitowish Waters, WI home was experiencing persistent groundwater issues around the foundation. During heavy rains and snowmelt, water would collect near the base of the home, saturating the soil and increasing the risk of basement seepage, structural pressure, and long-term foundation damage.
The homeowners wanted a way to proactively redirect surface and groundwater—before it could threaten their home’s structure or lead to water intrusion.
After: A Strategic Drainage System That Protects the Home
Sure-Dry installed an exterior curtain drain system along the perimeter of the problem area. This specially designed drain collects and redirects water away from the foundation—before it reaches the home—reducing soil saturation and helping preserve structural integrity.
What We Installed:
-
A perimeter curtain drain with gravel backfill and filter fabric to prevent clogs
-
Drainage piping sloped away from the home to direct water to a safe discharge point
-
Clean restoration of the landscape post-installation for a seamless finish
This solution protects the home from water buildup, minimizes pressure against the foundation walls, and helps reduce the likelihood of future seepage or cracking. It’s a low-visibility, high-impact solution that keeps water where it belongs—away from the house.

Failing Concrete Driveway Lifting, Sealing & Repair in Juneau, WI
Before
The homeowner in Juneau, WI began noticing sections of their driveway settling and becoming uneven. As the concrete shifted, cracks widened and low spots developed where water could collect and seep beneath the slab. These conditions created both safety concerns and the potential for continued settlement. Homeowners researching concrete lifting often compare newer repair methods to mudjacking, a traditional slab jacking process that uses a heavy cement-based slurry to raise sunken concrete.
After
Sure-Dry restored the driveway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam, a proven concrete lifting and concrete leveling solution designed to fill voids beneath settled slabs and carefully return them to proper position. Once the driveway was stabilized, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, helping reduce water infiltration and future soil erosion beneath the concrete. Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, requires smaller injection holes, and provides a long-lasting repair for homeowners seeking a professional concrete lifting contractor in Dodge County and throughout Wisconsin.

Garage Wall Stabilization in Gleason, WI
The back concrete wall of this garage in Gleason, WI was starting to bow inward, and the homeowner needed a solution to stabilize the wall and restore it to its original position.
To solve this issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor system. Wall anchors can repair many bowing wall problems. Soil anchors are placed in the ground outside the home. Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates. Wall plates distribute clamping pressure. Tightening nuts on the threaded ends of the rods stabilize the wall for a permanent solution.
