Failing Foundation Repaired in Stevens Point, WI
Before:
In Stevens Point, WI, a homeowner contacted Sure-Dry after noticing uneven floors and cracks forming along interior walls. During inspection, our team found that the wooden support beams in the crawl space had weakened due to years of moisture exposure and soil settlement. Several joists showed signs of deflection, leaving the floors above soft and unlevel — a clear indication of structural instability that required immediate correction.
After:
Sure-Dry’s installation crew reinforced the failing crawl space supports with the SmartJack® floor support system, engineered to provide permanent stabilization and precise adjustment. Each steel support was set on a solid base and tightened to restore the proper alignment of the floor system.
Once installed, the SmartJacks provided strong, adjustable support that eliminated floor sagging and restored the home’s structural integrity.

Foundation Repair for Cracking Block Walls in Stevens Point, WI
Before:
In Stevens Point, WI, a homeowner noticed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with horizontal cracking developing through the center of the block. Pressure from moisture-heavy soils along the exterior caused the wall to shift inward—common symptoms of foundation movement in Portage County, especially where clay-rich soils expand during wet seasons. The displacement grew more noticeable during spring thaw, and concerns increased as the wall began to show measurable inward deflection.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the failing basement wall and counteract the soil pressure responsible for the bowing. Each anchor rod was advanced into stable, undisturbed soils away from the foundation, then tensioned using calibrated torque readings to secure the wall in place. The system now provides long-term lateral support with the ability for future, incremental tightening.
This installation delivers reliable protection against seasonal soil expansion common throughout Central Wisconsin.
Foundation Repair with PowerBraces in Stevens Point, WI
Before:
In Stevens Point, WI, a homeowner noticed a basement wall beginning to bow inward, with a long horizontal crack forming through the center of the block. As Portage County’s clay-heavy soils absorbed moisture, lateral pressure increased and forced the wall inward—especially during spring thaw. The bowing created noticeable inward deflection, mortar-joint separation, and difficulty closing a nearby interior door, all symptoms of an actively moving foundation wall.
After:
Sure-Dry installed the PowerBrace™ system to stabilize the failing wall and halt further inward movement. Each steel beam was precision-positioned, laser-aligned, and anchored at the floor and the sill area, then torque-adjusted to apply corrective pressure. The system now holds the wall secure with the potential for gradual, controlled straightening over time.
This installation provides long-term structural support ideal for Central Wisconsin’s moisture-responsive soil conditions.
Concrete Driveway Joint Sealing & Repair in Stevens Point, WI
Before
A homeowner in Stevens Point, WI noticed their concrete driveway was just beginning to show signs of sinking, with slight unevenness developing between slabs. These early-stage issues are common in Wisconsin, especially in newer or recently poured concrete where soil beneath the slab begins to settle due to moisture changes and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Wanting to address the problem early, the homeowner began searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor in Wisconsin before the issue became more severe.
As the driveway started to shift, small gaps and joints opened up, allowing water to seep underneath and accelerate the settling process. While some homeowners consider mudjacking—pumping a heavy slurry beneath the slab to lift it—this method can add additional weight to unstable soils and often leads to future re-settlement. Addressing the problem early with a long-term solution was key to preventing further damage.
After
Sure-Dry lifted and stabilized the driveway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam, followed by sealing the joints with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. PolyLevel was injected beneath the slab through small drill holes, where it expanded to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and gently raise the concrete back to its proper position. NexusPro was then applied to seal the joints and prevent water from entering beneath the slab.
Compared to mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, allows for precise lifting, requires smaller drill holes, and provides long-term stability without washout.
The driveway is now level, protected, and stabilized, helping prevent future settlement while restoring a clean, even appearance.
Uneven Concrete Driveway Leveled, Sealed & Repaired in Stevens Point, WI
Before
A homeowner in Stevens Point, WI noticed sections of their driveway and walkway leading up to the front steps beginning to settle, creating uneven surfaces and minor trip hazards. Even in newer subdivision homes, soil settlement can occur due to backfill not being fully compacted or shifting with Wisconsin’s seasonal moisture changes. As the concrete continued to sink and crack, the homeowner began searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor in Wisconsin to restore the appearance and safety of their property.
The uneven driveway and walkway also allowed water to collect and seep beneath the slabs, accelerating the settlement process. Many homeowners consider mudjacking as a fix—this method pumps a heavy slurry under the concrete to lift it—but it often adds weight to already unstable soil and can lead to future sinking. Without a long-term solution, the concrete would continue to settle and deteriorate over time.
After
Sure-Dry lifted and leveled the driveway and front walkway using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam, followed by sealing all joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is injected beneath the concrete through small, minimally invasive holes, expanding to stabilize the soil and precisely raise the slabs back to their original position. NexusPro was then applied to protect the joints from water intrusion and prevent future damage.
Compared to mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, cures quickly, provides more accurate lifting, requires smaller drill holes, and offers long-term stability without washout.
The driveway and walkway are now level, sealed, and safe, restoring both curb appeal and functionality for the homeowner.
