Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Sherwood, WI intended to convert their lower level into a habitable space but the existing basement window was too small to meet emergency‐egress code requirements and lacked a properly sized areaway. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist identified that the current opening did not satisfy the minimum clear-opening dimensions mandated under Wisconsin law for a bedroom egress window and noted that the soil and drainage conditions around the foundation raised a risk of water intrusion.

After
Sure-Dry’s certified technicians excavated the exterior grade adjacent to the foundation wall, cut and removed the undersized opening, installed a code-compliant egress window unit and constructed a reinforced window well with integrated drain, safe ladder access, and proper back-fill and grading to ensure moisture protection and exterior safety. The result is a finished basement exit that meets all relevant Wisconsin residential code requirements and enables the homeowner to finish the basement room as a legal living/sleeping space with confidence and peace of mind.

With repetitive water seeping through their basement walls and piling up on the floor, homeowners in Chilton, WI were ready for a solution. 

To remove the water, we installed the WaterGuard System. This system is installed under the floor slab and tiny little slits on top of the WaterGuard collect the water that seeps through and carries it to the sump pump to be discharged out. This system is very handy because it does a lot of work in removing water but isn't noticeable at all! 

With a water system put in place, these homeowners have one less thing on their mind!

To stabilize a home's foundation, the GeoLocks are the best solution, however, they aren't the prettiest view for a finished basement which is why we have the Hide A Way Covers. These covers fit perfectly over the GeoLocks leaving a clean, presentable look while also guaranteeing a stable foundation, it's the perfect solution!

Before:
A homeowner in Chilton noticed one basement wall beginning to bow inward, with horizontal cracking along the mortar joints. The displacement suggested foundation movement caused by exterior soil pressure, creating concern about future structural stability.

After:
A PowerBrace™ wall stabilization system was installed along the affected wall to halt movement and gradually restore alignment. The galvanized steel I-beams were anchored to the basement floor and floor joists for consistent reinforcement.

The wall is now secure, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the foundation is stabilized.

Before:
In a Chilton basement, the homeowner was dealing with recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the floor and wall meet. The existing concrete floor made it impractical to install a traditional perimeter drain, and frequent sump pump cycling left standing water after heavy

rains.

After:
The crew installed a DryTrak® drainage channel along the interior perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage without disturbing the slab. A TripleSafe™ sump pump system was added to provide triple protection against pump failure and power loss.

The basement now stays dry year-round, and the homeowner can use the space confidently.
