Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner in Rothschild, WI was remodeling their basement and wanted to add a bedroom to create additional living space. However, the existing basement window was too small to provide the emergency escape and rescue access required for a bedroom, preventing the space from meeting modern safety standards. Homeowners searching for basement waterproofing, basement waterproofing company, or egress window installation often find that installing an egress window is a necessary part of safely finishing a basement.

After

Sure-Dry installed a RockWell Egress Window System by excavating outside the foundation, creating a properly sized window opening, and installing a new egress window and window well with appropriate drainage. The new system provides a safe emergency exit, allows more natural light into the basement, and gives the homeowner the confidence to complete their basement remodeling project knowing the future bedroom will have a code-compliant means of escape.

Before

The homeowner in Rothschild, WI experienced seasonal water seepage in their basement during periods of heavy rain and spring snowmelt. Water regularly entered where the basement floor and wall met, creating damp conditions, concerns about moisture damage, and limiting how the basement could be used. Homeowners searching for basement waterproofing, basement waterproofing company, or basement waterproofing contractor often experience these same problems when groundwater builds up around the home's foundation.

After

Sure-Dry permanently addressed the water intrusion by installing the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System. Installed along the inside perimeter of the basement, the WaterGuard system intercepts groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and directs it to the home's sump pump for safe discharge outside. Unlike traditional drain tile, WaterGuard is specifically engineered to resist clogging from mud and debris, providing a dependable basement waterproofing solution designed for Wisconsin's wet seasons. The homeowner now has a drier basement and greater confidence during heavy rains.

Before: A Flooded Crawl Space and an Uncomfortable Home Above

In Tripoli, WI, this homeowner was facing persistent water and humidity issues in their crawl space. During heavy rains, the space would flood—bringing in moisture, mold risk, and musty odors that affected the home above. As an older homeowner, they were no longer able to get down into the crawl space to manage the problem, and it was clear the moisture was taking a toll on both the structure and comfort of the house.

They needed a long-term solution to eliminate water, reduce humidity, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the home—without requiring constant maintenance.

After: A Dry, Sealed, and Energy-Efficient Crawl Space

Sure-Dry installed a complete crawl space waterproofing and insulation system designed to eliminate water intrusion, control humidity, and create a healthier, more stable environment under the home.

What We Installed:

• A new sump pump system to actively remove water

• Drainage matting to direct moisture to the sump system

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to seal out ground moisture and humidity

• Silverglo™ Insulation along the crawl space walls for added energy efficiency

• RimTight™ insulation at the rim joists to stop air leaks and moisture infiltration

• A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check year-round

• New vent covers to fully seal off exterior air and moisture

Now, the crawl space is dry, clean, and fully encapsulated, making the entire home above warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and much more comfortable overall. The homeowner no longer has to worry about water intrusion or crawl space maintenance.
