Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

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.

Before:

A homeowner in Sheboygan, WI, wanted to add an egress window to their basement to improve safety, bring in more natural light, and prepare the space for future finishing. The existing basement windows were small and inefficient, leaving the area dark and without a code-compliant emergency exit. The homeowner wanted a clean, professional installation that would enhance both the appearance and functionality of their basement.

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 designed to keep out debris and moisture. The crew added drainage stone at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term performance. The result was a bright, well-ventilated basement with a safe, accessible emergency exit that meets all local building codes.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much lighter and more open the basement now feels — and with the added peace of mind that their home is safer and up to code.

In the before photo, it is clear to see the concrete has sunken into the Earth. To raise it up, the crew drilled 4 pence sized holes into the concrete and injected polyurethane foam. This foam is waterproof and will not ever be washed out. 

When homeowners in Suamico, WI knew it was time to sell their house, they had some items they wanted to fix up to bring the equity of their home up. One of those things was their sump pump. Their sump pump had grown old, like most things in life do. Every so often they would have small floods and the base of their sump pump was always covered in moisture.

Our crew took out their old sump pump system and installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system is the best at what it does, it works to discharge any amount of water in a short amount of time. With this system being covered, it will keep the outside of the sump pump dry and always looking nice.

With just a small fix to their home, they equity goes up and so do their smiles!
