Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before opting for our expert services, Markesan homeowners faced compliance issues with uneven sidewalk slabs, as depicted in the photo. The noticeable lifting could create safety concerns along with municipal complications. To address this, we employed our specialized solution. Utilizing the PolyLevel Injection Foam System, our team skillfully lifted the sinking slabs with precision, aligning them carefully. Post-repair, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to securely seal cracks and joints, thwarting water intrusion that might destabilize the revised foundation. Now, as visible after our treatment, their sidewalk is level, secure, with protected fissures.

Before: Cracking Walls and a Wet, Musty Basement

In Wild Rose, this home was showing signs of serious foundation failure—stairstep cracks in the block walls, inward bowing, and water leaking in whenever it rained. The basement was constantly damp, smelled like mildew, and mold was starting to spread along the walls. The homeowner had had enough.

After: Stabilized Foundation and a Dry, Healthy Basement

We installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stop the wall movement and permanently stabilize the foundation. To handle the water issues, we added a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a new UltraSump® with battery backup, and IceGuard® discharge protection to keep things flowing during winter freezes.

Now, the basement is dry, secure, and mold-free—and the foundation is solid for years to come.

Before

Years of Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles and gradual soil settlement had caused several sections of concrete around this Wild Rose home to sink out of alignment. The small garage apron, walkway to the side entrance, patio, and front walkway leading to the front door had all settled at different rates, creating uneven surfaces and multiple tripping hazards. Instead of replacing otherwise solid concrete, the homeowner chose a long-lasting concrete lifting solution. Our crew evaluated slab elevations and underlying voids before recommending PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely restore the concrete to its proper position. Unlike traditional mudjacking, slab jacking with PolyLevel uses a lightweight, waterproof foam that won't add weight to the soil, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides a more accurate lift. The repaired joints and cracks were then protected with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent future water infiltration.

After

The garage apron, side entrance walkway, patio, and front walkway were successfully lifted and leveled, eliminating hazardous height differences while dramatically improving the home's curb appeal. Using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam allowed our crew to carefully raise each slab without the mess or added weight associated with mudjacking, while the NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant sealed joints and cracks to reduce water intrusion that can lead to additional soil erosion beneath the slabs. The homeowner now has safer, more attractive concrete surfaces throughout the property that are ready for everyday use the same day the work is completed.

Before: A homeowner in Mercer, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing the concrete walkway and front steps leading to the home had become uneven and settled over time. The shifting concrete created tripping hazards near the entrance and allowed water to collect along portions of the walkway during rain and snowmelt. Like many homes throughout Iron County and Northern Wisconsin, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils beneath the slabs had caused the concrete to sink and separate. The homeowner was searching for a concrete lifting company and concrete leveling contractor that could restore the existing concrete without the expense and disruption of replacement.
Traditional mudjacking, also referred to as slab jacking, can place additional weight on already unstable soils and often requires larger drill holes throughout the slab surface. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting concrete step repair solution that would improve safety, drainage, and curb appeal around the front entrance.

After: Sure-Dry inspected the concrete walkway and front steps and identified multiple settlement areas beneath the affected slabs. To restore the surfaces, the crew installed PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the settled sections to carefully lift and level the concrete back into position. Unlike traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps reduce additional stress on weakened soils beneath the slab. Once the lifting process was completed, the joints and cracks were sealed using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent future water intrusion and soil washout beneath the walkway and steps.
The completed repair restored a safer and more stable walking surface while helping protect the concrete against continued settlement common throughout Mercer and Northern Wisconsin.
