Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

A homeowner in Plymouth, WI wanted to improve their basement by adding a proper egress window. Like many Wisconsin basements, the existing space had limited natural light and lacked the larger window opening that can make a basement feel brighter, more usable and better connected to the rest of the home.

An egress window is more than a cosmetic upgrade. When certain basement areas are used as bedrooms or finished living spaces, an appropriately designed emergency escape and rescue opening can be an important part of meeting applicable building requirements.

Rather than trying to incorporate an egress window later, the homeowner chose to make this important improvement to the basement now.

After

Sure-Dry installed a new egress window system to provide a larger, more functional opening in the basement.

Our crew carefully created the appropriately sized opening through the foundation and installed the new window and exterior window well. Proper installation is especially important because creating an egress opening involves modifying an existing foundation wall while maintaining a secure, weather-resistant opening.

The difference inside the basement is immediately noticeable. The larger window allows significantly more natural light into a space that can otherwise feel dark and enclosed while also providing an important emergency escape and rescue opening.

With the installation complete, this Plymouth homeowner now has a brighter, safer and more functional basement with an improvement that can support how the space is used for years to come.

In Laona, WI, a homeowner was troubled by their finished basement leaking, which damaged drywall and flooring. As shown in the before photo, the distress was evident. We stepped in with a trustworthy solution, installing our SuperSump and WaterGuard systems to tackle the problem head-on.

Before:
A homeowner in Laona noticed several vertical cracks forming along one basement wall. Over time, minor inward bowing began to develop as surrounding soils expanded and pushed against the foundation. Though the movement was limited, the cracks indicated structural stress that could worsen without reinforcement.

After:
The crew installed the CarbonArmor® wall reinforcement system to stabilize the affected wall. Flexible carbon fiber straps were bonded directly to the wall surface with high-strength epoxy, providing exceptional tensile strength without intrusive hardware or excavation.

The system permanently stabilized the wall, preventing further movement and ensuring lasting structural security for the homeowner.

Before:
In Laona, a homeowner noticed uneven sections forming across their garage floor. Years of freeze-thaw cycles and soil settlement had caused the concrete to sink and separate at the control joints, creating gaps and uneven edges that made parking and cleaning difficult. Water also began pooling near the foundation, increasing the risk of further slab movement.

After:
Technicians injected PolyLevel® beneath the settled areas to lift and stabilize the concrete back to its proper height. Once level, NexusPro® sealant was applied to all joints and cracks to create a flexible, watertight barrier that resists seasonal expansion and contraction.

The garage floor is now smooth, level, and protected against future water infiltration and settlement.
