Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowners in Shawano, WI wanted to improve the safety and functionality of two basement bedrooms by replacing outdated egress windows that no longer met modern code requirements. While the existing window openings had served the home for years, they did not provide the size or accessibility needed for safe emergency escape. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated both window openings, confirmed the existing installations were not compliant with current egress standards, and developed a plan to upgrade each location. Replacing the outdated windows would not only improve safety but also allow the basement bedrooms to meet modern egress requirements while bringing more natural light into the finished living space.

After
Our installation team removed the older window systems and completed two professionally installed Egress Windows designed to meet current egress standards for basement bedrooms. Each opening was carefully excavated and prepared before installing the new window systems and window wells to provide safe emergency exit access while allowing significantly more daylight and ventilation into the basement. The completed installation transformed both bedrooms into brighter, safer living spaces while giving the homeowners confidence that their basement now features modern egress window systems designed for both safety and long-term durability.

Before
The homeowners in Shawano, WI began noticing signs that portions of their main floor were no longer being adequately supported from below. Floors had developed noticeable sagging, and movement was becoming more apparent throughout the home. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated the basement support system, measured floor deflection, and identified weakened structural support beneath key load-bearing areas. Moisture changes and seasonal soil movement common throughout Wisconsin can contribute to settlement over time, allowing beams and floor joists to lose proper support. To permanently stabilize the floor system, Sure-Dry recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.

After
Our foundation repair team installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the home's floor support system to provide permanent structural reinforcement. Each SmartJack was placed on a properly prepared engineered base and carefully adjusted to help reduce floor deflection while transferring loads more effectively to stable ground below. Unlike temporary wood posts or improvised supports, the galvanized steel SmartJack system is engineered for long-term performance and can be adjusted if needed in the future. The completed installation provided a noticeably more stable floor system and gave the homeowners confidence that their basement now has dependable structural support.

Water intrusion along one basement wall had become an ongoing problem for this Shawano, WI homeowner. After heavy rains and seasonal snowmelt, water would seep in where the floor and wall met, leaving damp concrete and raising concerns about moisture damage to the basement. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist identified water entering at the cove joint, documented moisture readings, and evaluated drainage conditions around the affected wall. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and fluctuating groundwater levels were allowing hydrostatic pressure to force water into the basement. To permanently capture and remove the water before it reached the living space, Sure-Dry recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the problem wall and a SuperSump Sump Pump System.

After
Our basement waterproofing specialists installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the affected basement wall to intercept water entering through the foundation before it could reach the floor. The drainage system was connected to a newly installed SuperSump Sump Pump System, which efficiently collects and pumps groundwater safely away from the home. Unlike traditional drain tile that can clog with soil and debris, WaterGuard is engineered to remain free-flowing while providing reliable long-term performance. The completed basement waterproofing system eliminated water intrusion along the problem wall and gave the homeowners confidence that their basement will remain dry through Wisconsin's changing weather conditions.

Before
This Shawano, WI homeowner was dealing with ongoing basement moisture and water intrusion that had begun affecting the condition of the foundation walls. Water was entering along the wall-floor joint, leaving damp surfaces and creating concerns about mold, musty odors, and future damage to the finished areas of the basement. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist documented moisture readings, identified water intrusion at the cove joint, and evaluated how Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and hydrostatic pressure were allowing groundwater to enter the home. To provide a complete basement waterproofing solution, Sure-Dry recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a SuperSump Sump Pump System, and the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System.

After
Our basement waterproofing crew installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System around the affected areas of the basement to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor. The system was connected to a dependable SuperSump Sump Pump System, providing reliable water removal from the home. To complete the project, the foundation walls were covered with the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, creating a clean, bright appearance while directing any wall moisture into the WaterGuard drainage system below. Together, these professionally installed basement waterproofing products provide long-term moisture control, help reduce humidity, and protect the basement from future water intrusion, even during Wisconsin's challenging weather conditions.

This Shawano, WI homeowner had sections of their concrete driveway that had settled over time, creating uneven slabs that made it difficult to drive on and increased the risk of trips and falls. Like many driveways in northeastern Wisconsin, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement beneath the slab had caused voids to form, allowing the concrete to sink. Rather than replacing the driveway, the homeowner chose a faster, more cost-effective repair using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam and NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam that won't add additional weight to the soil, cures quickly, and provides precise lifting for long-lasting results.

After

Our crew carefully evaluated the driveway, identified the settled areas, and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the slabs to accurately lift and stabilize the concrete. Once the driveway was restored to a safe, even elevation, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The homeowner now has a smooth, safer driveway with improved curb appeal and a repair designed to stand up to Wisconsin's harsh freeze-thaw conditions.
