Sure-Dry serving Chilton, WI

During inspection at the Chilton, WI home, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist identified that the only feasible wall for an egress window installation was adjacent to the sump pump and electrical service area. This presented a unique challenge: creating a foundation opening and installing a full egress system without disrupting the home’s mechanical and electrical systems or water-management infrastructure. After detailed measurement and coordination, the project plan outlined a precise excavation path, protective shielding around electrical conduit, and integration of the egress well drain with the sump system.

On installation day, Sure-Dry’s certified technicians executed the plan with meticulous attention to safety and code compliance. The team used specialized cutting equipment to control vibration near the panel, routed drainage correctly, and installed a watertight, insulated egress window and well system. The completed project delivered not only a bright, code-approved emergency exit but also peace of mind for the homeowner—achieved through expert planning and careful workmanship near critical basement systems.

Inspection revealed a damp crawl space with insufficient support beneath several floor joists. Moisture and soil movement had contributed to settlement and uneven flooring. The repair plan included installing CleanSpace® for moisture control, a TripleSafe™ sump pump for reliable water management, and SmartJack® supports to permanently stabilize the structure.

The installation team leveled and stabilized the floors by placing SmartJack posts on engineered base pads, allowing precise height adjustment to restore joist alignment. CleanSpace liner was then fitted along the floor and walls to isolate the area from outside humidity, and the TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to keep the crawl space dry year-round. The result is a strong, dry, and energy-efficient foundation that supports the home for the long term.

During the inspection, uneven settlement was observed along the driveway and walkway adjoining the garage. The voids beneath the slabs were attributed to soil washout and compaction loss over time. The PolyLevel® system was chosen for its precision lifting capability and minimal disruption compared to replacement.

Installation began with small injection ports drilled into the affected slabs. Lightweight, expanding PolyLevel foam was injected to raise each section to a uniform level. After lifting was complete, NexusPro® sealant was applied to all joints and cracks to prevent water infiltration and extend the concrete’s lifespan. The result is a stable, clean, and long-lasting concrete surface that restored the property’s safety and appearance.

During inspection, it was found that the basement’s poured concrete floor limited trenching options for a standard drainage system. The inspector recommended the DryTrak® baseboard drainage system, which installs above the floor edge to collect and redirect seepage discreetly. The system was paired with a TripleSafe™ sump pump for maximum reliability and protection.

Installation involved fastening DryTrak channels along the base of the walls and routing collected water directly to the new TripleSafe™ unit. The TripleSafe’s three-pump design ensures automatic redundancy during high water or power outages. The system now provides continuous, worry-free water management for the homeowner.

During inspection, the foundation specialist identified a single basement wall showing measurable inward bowing due to hydrostatic pressure. After assessing the structure and clearance, the PowerBrace™ system was recommended to stabilize the wall without excavation. The system allows future tightening to improve wall position over time.

Installation involved setting vertical steel beams against the wall, anchored at both the top and base to distribute loads safely. Once secured, the braces provided immediate stabilization. The wall is now structurally supported, ensuring long-term stability and preserving the home’s integrity.
