Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

This home had a long, above-ground discharge hose to drain water from the sump pump which was causing a headache for the homeowners every time they mowed their lawn and also a fear that the water would freeze and backup into their basement during the winter months. To fix these issues, we buried the discharge hose underground and installed an IceGuard® Discharge Line System.

The IceGuard System 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. 

In Presque Isle, WI, this cabin faced issues with sagging floors, an all-too-common problem due to weakened joists or excessive spans. The before photo shows the visible floor drop, which was a concern for the homeowner. To solve this, our certified team installed the SmartJack® System. As the after photo illustrates, this innovative solution stabilized and lifted the floors back to their original elevation. The SmartJack’s galvanized steel construction and adjustable threading ensure lasting durability, providing the homeowner with peace of mind and a secure living space.

In Presque Isle, WI, a homeowner faced a common issue: a settling stone fireplace threatening the stability of their foundation. In the photo, you can notice the tilt and gaps caused by the settlement. Our team at Sure-Dry resolved this by installing our reliable Push Pier System. Engineered to stabilize and potentially elevate a home’s structure, the hydraulically-driven steel pier reached stable bedrock beneath. As shown in the after photo, the foundation is now secured, eliminating further settlement concerns. We're dedicated to restoring safety and confidence in your home's foundation.

In Presque Isle, WI, this homeowner faced recurring water problems in their basement, desperately needing a refit to keep their space dry and functional. As seen in the before photo, water issues risked damaging the area beyond use. We addressed these concerns by installing our reliable WaterGuard® system and TripleSafe™ pump technology. This powerful combination efficiently channels any water away from foundation walls, as depicted in the after photo. With these trusted solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a worry-free, dry basement with assured protection no matter the weather conditions.

Before:
In Presque Isle, WI, a detached garage was experiencing noticeable settlement along the front wall, creating uneven gaps at the overhead door and visible rotation in the slab edge. Seasonal moisture changes and inadequate soil bearing caused the foundation to lose support, leading to progressive sinking that risked structural damage and further misalignment.

After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of Helical Piers to stabilize the failing garage foundation and transfer the load to competent soil. The crew advanced each pier to verified torque depth, then carefully lifted the structure to restore alignment and secure the footing against future settlement. The homeowner now has a stabilized garage with long-term support and confidence that the structure is protected.

This permanent repair leaves the garage level, supported, and ready to stand strong through Wisconsin’s seasonal soil cycles.
