Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: Cracked Walls & Water Worries

In Menasha, this homeowner had a severely cracked block wall, with visible stair-step cracks and signs of inward bowing. Alongside the structural issues, the basement had ongoing water seepage problems, especially during heavy rain. The homeowner was ready to fix the wall and get the water under control—for good.

After: Reinforced, Dry & Insulated

Sure-Dry installed a full foundation and waterproofing system to solve both problems at once:

• PowerBraces™ were installed to stabilize and support the cracked foundation wall

• WaterGuard® was added along the interior perimeter to collect and direct groundwater

• A new sump pump system was installed to remove the water quickly and efficiently

• RimTight® insulation was added at the joist spaces to help regulate temperature and moisture

Now the basement is dry, secure, and structurally sound, with peace of mind built in.

Before
The homeowners in Menasha, WI, wanted to finish their basement into a livable space but lacked a proper emergency exit that met code. The existing basement had small, non-compliant windows that did not allow safe egress or sufficient natural light. During inspection, Sure-Dry determined that an egress window installation would not only meet building code for basement bedrooms but also enhance safety, light, and ventilation.

After
Sure-Dry’s crew excavated the area outside the foundation, carefully cut the concrete wall opening, and installed a code-compliant egress window system complete with a durable, rust-resistant window well and integrated drain. The installation provided both a safe emergency exit and increased natural light, transforming the basement into a bright, functional living space.
The homeowners were pleased to have a safer, fully code-approved basement ready for finishing.

Before
In Menasha, WI, the homeowners were preparing to finish their basement but quickly realized that the existing windows did not meet egress code for a safe emergency exit. The foundation walls were equipped only with small vent-style windows that lacked the required opening size and clearance, preventing the space from qualifying as a legal bedroom or living area. During inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist confirmed that a full egress window installation would not only bring the basement up to safety code but also improve natural lighting and ventilation for the lower level.

After
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the area outside the chosen foundation wall and cut a clean, precise opening through the concrete. The crew installed a code-compliant egress window system with a reinforced window well, built-in ladder, and an integrated drainage line tied into the home’s waterproofing system to prevent water accumulation. Once sealed, backfilled, and graded, the system provided both safety and aesthetic improvement.
The homeowners were pleased to have a bright, secure, and fully code-approved basement space ready for finishing.
