Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

This old farmhouse in Sheboygan, WI was suffering from severely cracked and crumbling foundation walls which was not only scary on its own, but was causing other serious structural problems throughout the home. We were able to install our Everbrace Wall Restoration System throughout the basement, to permanently restore the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and is excited that her home is now safe and permanently stabilized.

The EverBrace Wall Restoration System™ permanently stabilizes the most extreme cases of failing foundation walls.

With EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.

Before: A Finished Basement Missing One Key Element

These Sheboygan homeowners had recently completed a beautiful basement renovation—adding new flooring, lighting, and a functional layout. But one thing was missing: a code-compliant egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the space couldn’t legally be used as a bedroom or safe living area. The lack of natural light also left the space feeling dim and enclosed.

Wanting to protect their investment and their family, the homeowners contacted Sure-Dry to ensure the basement was not only beautiful—but safe and up to code.

After: A Safe, Bright, and Code-Compliant Basement Upgrade

Our team installed a tan Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its sleek appearance, strength, and full IRC compliance. The new system not only met safety requirements—it completely transformed the space with natural light and fresh air.

What We Installed:

• A large, code-compliant egress window with a tan Rockwell stone-look composite well

• Built-in ladder for safe and easy emergency exit

• Polycarbonate cover to prevent water, leaves, and debris from collecting in the well

• Seamless exterior finish that complements the home’s look and landscaping

With the new egress system in place, the finished basement now meets all legal requirements for living space—and feels more open, bright, and welcoming.

Stair Step Cracks & Bowing Walls Stabilized with Wall Anchors

Before: Cracked Walls Holding Up a Basement Remodel

These Sheboygan homeowners were ready to finish their basement—but ran into a major problem. The block foundation walls were severely cracked, showing classic stairstep patterns and inward bowing—clear signs of foundation failure. With plans to turn the basement into livable space, they knew it had to be fixed before moving forward.

After: Permanent Foundation Stabilization with GeoLock®

We installed a system of GeoLock® Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the bowing basement walls and stop further movement. By anchoring the walls to stable soil outside the home, this solution offers long-term protection—and helps prevent the water intrusion that often comes with shifting foundations.

Now the basement is ready for the next phase—and the homeowners can finish it with confidence.

Before:

A homeowner in Sheboygan, WI, wanted to make their basement brighter and code-compliant by adding an egress window. The existing windows were too small to allow adequate natural light or serve as an emergency exit, leaving the basement dark and unsuitable for living space use. The homeowner wanted a solution that would improve both safety and comfort while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:

Sure-Dry’s team excavated the exterior area and installed a complete egress window system, featuring a large, code-approved window, a durable well, and a clear protective cover. The installation included a properly graded drainage system with stone at the base of the well to prevent water buildup. The new window brought abundant natural light into the basement and provided a secure, easy-to-access emergency exit.

The homeowner was impressed with the workmanship and noted that the basement now feels brighter, safer, and ready for finishing.
