Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa was getting seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms and dampness wicking through the lower walls. Some sections of the basement couldn’t be trenched due to finishes and utilities, and the aging pump left them uneasy during power flickers.

After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage where trenching was feasible to intercept groundwater at the cove joint, and used DryTrak® low-profile baseboard drainage along finished/utility walls where we couldn’t cut the slab. Both drains were tied into a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for dependable pumping through outages.

Now the basement stays clean, dry, and usable year-round—with reliable protection in heavy rains and power interruptions.

Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa had settlement along the walkway to the front door and at the garage threshold. Toe-stubbing lips formed at panel joints, step heights were uneven at the entry, and the slab in front of the garage dropped enough to leave a gap at the door seal—letting water and road salt creep under the concrete.

After:
We injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled walkway panels and the slab in front of the garage, filling voids and lifting in controlled increments to restore smooth transitions, uniform step heights, and a tight seal at the garage door. Small (penny-size) injection ports were patched for a clean finish.

The approach is now level, safer to use, and pitched to move water away from the home.

Before
A homeowner in Nekoosa, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing their driveway and walkway had begun to settle unevenly. The concrete slabs had shifted, creating height differences, cracks, and gaps that posed both safety concerns and reduced curb appeal. With Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement, these conditions are common and often lead to the need for concrete lifting and concrete leveling.

Water was also beginning to collect in the low areas and enter the open joints, increasing the risk of further soil erosion beneath the slabs. The homeowner was looking for a trusted concrete lifting company and contractor to restore the surfaces and prevent ongoing damage.

After
Our team used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and level the settled driveway and walkway. Through small, strategically drilled holes, the expanding foam was injected beneath the concrete to raise the slabs back into position while stabilizing the underlying soil.

To complete the repair and protect the concrete long-term, we applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to all joints and cracks. This flexible sealant helps prevent water intrusion, reducing the risk of future washout and movement.

Unlike traditional mudjacking (also known as slab jacking), which uses a heavier material that can add stress to already unstable soils, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, and provides a more durable solution. Combined with NexusPro, this approach addresses both the structural issue and long-term protection for concrete floor repair and concrete step repair needs.

The driveway and walkway are now level, sealed, and safe for everyday use.
The homeowner can confidently use their outdoor spaces knowing the concrete is stabilized and protected against future conditions.

After receiving a call from homeowners in Vesper, WI about constant water in their basement. The crew was ready to do some waterproofing. 

First, the Sure-Dry team installed the WaterGuard System around their entire basement. The WaterGuard will remove all water that seeps through their concrete walls. It will then collect in the WaterGuard at the bottom of the floor and be carried to the sump pump to be discharged out.

To then remove water in the center of their basement, we installed the TrenchDrain. This will redirect water that has accumulated on their floor and bring it to their sump pump. 

After a big waterproofing job in their basement, these homeowners couldn't be happier knowing their belongings downstairs are safe. 

Before the project, the homeowner in Vesper, WI was dealing with ongoing water intrusion along several basement walls whenever rain or seasonal snowmelt increased groundwater pressure. Water appeared at the cove joint where the slab meets the wall on some runs and tracked down the face of the foundation on others, leaving damp bands, minor floor puddling, and efflorescence. The existing sump pit was shallow and poorly covered, and there was no continuous interior drainage system to manage hydrostatic pressure around the footing. Over time, the musty odor and visible moisture raised concerns about air quality, potential damage to stored belongings, and the long-term health of the foundation in this Wood County home.

After Sure-Dry completed the work, the basement was protected by a combined WaterGuard® and DryTrak® interior drainage solution, all directed into a new SuperSump® system. WaterGuard was installed along the accessible slab edges at the footing to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface, while DryTrak was applied at sections where jackhammering the slab was not practical, allowing wall and cove seepage to be collected along the interior face of the wall. Both drainage systems were tied into a properly sized SuperSump basin with an airtight lid, durable liner, and high-capacity pump designed for reliable sump pump installation in Wisconsin basements, with the discharge routed safely away from the foundation.
The homeowner now has a clean, dry, and healthier basement environment, along with confidence that this interior drainage system basement solution will protect their Vesper, WI home through future storms and snowmelt cycles.
