Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI began noticing long horizontal cracks forming along their finished basement walls. The drywall seams were separating, and doors no longer closed smoothly—signs that the foundation walls were bowing inward under exterior soil pressure. With a fully finished lower level, the homeowners wanted a repair that could stop the movement without major excavation or tearing out the interior space.

After:
To permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors behind the finished walls. Small, precise access openings were made to set interior wall plates, while exterior anchors were driven into stable soil beyond the active backfill zone. Once tightened, the system immediately stopped inward movement and provided the capability for future straightening.

Now, this Ripon basement is structurally sound and ready to be refinished—protected by a long-term, serviceable solution that required minimal disruption to their living space.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI was dealing with water seeping along the basement perimeter during heavy rains. The finished floor showed damp spots near the baseboards, and small cracks along the cove joint allowed moisture to creep in from hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab. The existing sump system was undersized and frequently overwhelmed, leaving the basement musty and unusable after storms.

After:
To create a permanent solution, our team installed a DryTrak® baseboard drainage system around the basement’s interior perimeter to collect seepage and channel it directly to a new SuperSump® Premier Sump System. The sealed SuperSump liner and high-performance pump provide reliable removal of groundwater while keeping moisture and odors sealed below the lid.

Now, the Ripon basement stays dry and protected—even after the heaviest rainfall—restoring full use of the space with a clean, low-profile waterproofing system.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI noticed the concrete in front of their garage door and along the walkway to the front entrance had settled several inches over time. The drop at the garage created a noticeable bump when parking, and the uneven walkway posed a trip hazard. Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles and washout beneath the slabs had eroded soil support, allowing the concrete to sink and crack.

After:
To restore alignment and eliminate hazards, our concrete repair team used PolyLevel® expanding foam to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. Once each section was carefully leveled to its original height, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro® silicone sealant to prevent water infiltration and future erosion.

Now, the driveway approach and front walkway are level, sealed, and safe—improving curb appeal and ensuring long-term stability for this Ripon home.

Before:
A homeowner in Ripon, WI wanted to improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout their home after noticing cold floors and musty air rising from the crawl space. The original fiberglass insulation was sagging, damp, and falling from the joists—trapping moisture rather than blocking it. The unconditioned space was allowing heat loss in winter and humidity buildup year-round.

After:
To solve the problem and create lasting efficiency, our team replaced the failing insulation with SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation panels. The panels were fastened directly to the crawl space walls to create a continuous thermal and radiant barrier, reflecting heat back into the home and sealing off exterior temperature influence.

Now, the Ripon home’s crawl space is clean, insulated, and energy-efficient—keeping floors warmer, humidity lower, and utility costs under control.

Before

The concrete patio and front steps at this Ripon, WI home had experienced years of settlement caused by Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and gradual soil movement beneath the slabs. Located beneath a roof overhang, the patio still experienced moisture infiltration around the slab edges and joints, allowing supporting soils to shift over time. The uneven concrete created trip hazards at the steps leading into the home and left the patio with noticeable elevation differences. Looking for an alternative to replacement, the homeowner contacted a trusted concrete leveling company to restore the existing concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding unnecessary weight beneath the slabs.

After

Our crew carefully mapped the slab elevations before beginning the repair and monitored lift progress throughout the installation to achieve a smooth transition between the patio, steps, and home's entryway. PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam was injected beneath the settled concrete to fill hidden voids and precisely raise the slabs back toward their original position. Once leveling was complete, NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant was applied to the joints and cracks to help prevent water intrusion that could lead to future soil erosion beneath the concrete. The homeowner now has a safer, more attractive entry with restored concrete that blends seamlessly with the home's exterior while avoiding the expense and disruption of replacement.
