Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to install an egress window to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met modern safety codes. The existing basement windows were small, inefficient, and provided no safe means of exit in case of emergency. The homeowner needed a solution that would improve light, ventilation, and safety while maintaining proper drainage and a clean appearance.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the exterior area and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear cover to keep out debris and moisture. The crew ensured proper grading and added drainage stone at the base of the well to direct water away from the foundation. The new installation provided abundant natural light and a reliable emergency exit, transforming the basement into a bright, functional space.

The homeowner was thrilled with the improvement, noting how the new window made the basement feel open, comfortable, and fully code-compliant.

A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met all safety code requirements. The existing windows were small and outdated, providing minimal natural light and no safe way to exit in an emergency. The homeowner wanted a clean, professional installation that would improve both the look and safety of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, featuring a large, code-compliant window, a strong window well, and a clear cover to prevent water and debris buildup. The crew added drainage stone at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term durability. The finished installation flooded the basement with natural light, improved airflow, and provided a safe, accessible emergency exit.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter and more comfortable their basement feels now that it’s code-compliant and ready for everyday use.

Before:

The homeowner in Appleton had been dealing with a sidewalk and driveway that had sunk several inches, creating uneven surfaces, drainage concerns, and potential trip hazards. The uneven slabs not only looked bad but also made snow shoveling in the winter a major hassle.

After:

Using our PolyLevel® concrete lifting system, we were able to raise the sunken concrete back to its original position—safely and precisely. Once leveled, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro® joint sealant to prevent future water intrusion and soil erosion beneath the slabs.

Now, the driveway and sidewalk are safe, smooth, and protected for the seasons ahead.

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI contacted Sure-Dry after noticing increasing horizontal cracking and inward bowing along their basement wall. Seasonal clay expansion and freeze-thaw pressures common throughout Outagamie County had pushed the wall out of alignment, leaving visible deflection and moisture staining at several points. Measurements taken during inspection confirmed progressive movement, with the wall bowing more than one inch in key locations—indicating the need for structural stabilization.

After:
To restore stability, the crew installed PowerBrace™ beams along the failing wall to provide immediate support and long-term tightening potential. In addition, exterior soil conditions allowed for the installation of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to counteract outward pressure and gradually return the wall toward a straighter position. Together, these systems created a reinforced structure capable of withstanding seasonal ground movement.
The homeowner now has a supported, stabilized basement wall with reduced movement and a safer foundation for years to come.
