Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Uneven Concrete and Water Concerns

This Wisconsin Rapids homeowner was dealing with settled concrete in multiple areas—the driveway, front sidewalk leading to the deck, a slab in the backyard, and another at the back of the garage. The uneven slabs created trip hazards and were directing water toward the home, raising concerns about long-term damage.

After: Lifted, Leveled & Protected

Using our PolyLevel® foam system, we raised the sunken concrete slabs back to their proper position—improving safety and redirecting water flow away from the home. We also sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro®, a waterproof, flexible sealant that keeps moisture out and extends the life of the concrete.

Now, everything is level, smooth, and safer to walk on. The homeowner even said they wished they had done it sooner!

Before:

This Wisconsin Rapids, WI, homeowner had cracked, bowing basement walls caused by years of soil pressure and moisture. The structural damage created concern for the safety and stability of the foundation, as cracks continued to widen with each season.

After:

Sure-Dry installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. The system uses steel anchors embedded in undisturbed soil to counteract external pressure, halting movement and allowing gradual straightening over time.

The homeowner now has a strong, secure foundation and confidence knowing their home is protected from further wall movement and structural damage.

WaterGuard and Bleeder Lines were installed at customer's home to prevent water from flooding their basement.

Celene's basement walls were cracked from hydrostatic pressure.  Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed by Sure-Dry to prevent further movement and straighten the walls back to their original place.

Before: Foundation Walls Showing Signs of Failure

In Ogema, WI, a homeowner noticed troubling signs of foundation wall movement—horizontal cracking, inward bowing, and even water seeping in where the walls were shifting. These classic symptoms of lateral soil pressure were only getting worse with seasonal changes and heavy rainfall.

With growing safety concerns and the potential for long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry to assess the issue and provide a permanent solution.

After: Permanent Stabilization with the Geo-Lock System

Our team installed a custom-engineered Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System, designed to:

• Halt further wall movement

• Provide long-term structural stability

• Offer potential for wall straightening over time

The anchors were installed outside the home in stable soil, then connected through the wall to heavy-duty steel plates mounted inside the basement. After tightening the system, the wall immediately began returning to its original position—without the need for costly and invasive reconstruction.

The result was a dry, secure, and structurally sound basement that’s now ready to stand up to Wisconsin’s toughest soil and weather conditions.
