During the inspection of this Manitowoc, WI home, our System Design Specialist assessed the partially finished basement to determine the correct placement and opening size for a compliant egress installation. Measurements confirmed the existing window was too small to meet escape and rescue requirements, and soil grading outside the wall required correction to ensure proper drainage—an important factor in Manitowoc’s freeze–thaw climate where water pooling can occur around window wells.
Sure-Dry installed a new egress window system, enlarging the opening, securing the well structure, and integrating drainage to protect against water intrusion. The upgraded window provides proper clearances, smooth operation, and increased natural light, creating a safer, brighter, and more comfortable basement space for the homeowner.

During the inspection of this Manitowoc, WI home, our System Design Specialist conducted humidity measurements, wood-moisture evaluations, and rim-joist leakage testing. Results showed elevated vapor levels coming through the exposed soil, along with significant air infiltration through the rim joists — a common issue in older Wisconsin homes where seasonal temperature swings and lake-effect humidity stress crawl space environments. These conditions created condensation risk and energy loss, necessitating a full encapsulation and air-sealing approach.
Sure-Dry installed CleanSpace® along the crawl space floor and walls to create a continuous moisture barrier that prevents vapor intrusion and protects structural components from long-term humidity exposure. To address air leakage, RimTight™ was applied to the rim joists, forming a durable air-seal that enhances insulation performance and reduces heat transfer through the home’s perimeter. The combined system now provides long-term moisture control, improved energy efficiency, and a cleaner, healthier environment for the homeowner.

During the inspection of this Manitowoc, WI home, our System Design Specialist completed elevation readings and soil probing along the driveway and walkway, confirming void formation and slab displacement caused by groundwater fluctuation and repeated freeze–thaw cycles. The settlement varied across the approach slabs, with pronounced drop-off points near the garage apron and steps leading to the entry. A non-invasive lifting solution was needed to restore elevation and prevent continued sinking.
Sure-Dry installed PolyLevel®, injecting the structural foam beneath the affected slabs to raise them back to their proper position while stabilizing the underlying soils. The material expanded uniformly to fill voids and lock the concrete into a durable, level plane. This approach provided immediate usability, long-term support, and a clean, even transition from the driveway to the garage and front entry — ideal for Wisconsin homes experiencing climate-related soil movement.

During the inspection of this Manitowoc, WI home, our System Design Specialist used moisture mapping and slab-edge thermal readings to identify active seepage zones along the basement’s perimeter. Lake-influenced humidity and seasonal groundwater fluctuation were contributing to consistent moisture entry, especially where the wall-floor joint was unprotected. The wall surfaces showed significant vapor transmission, confirming the need for both drainage and barrier upgrades to permanently address the problem.
Sure-Dry installed the SuperSump® system to manage groundwater and prevent standing water during heavy rains. A continuous WaterGuard® drainage system was placed along the interior perimeter to intercept seepage before it reached the floor. To control moisture migrating through the foundation walls, CleanSpace® was installed, creating a sealed, waterproof surface that prevents vapor intrusion and channels any wall moisture directly into WaterGuard. This complete waterproofing approach gives the homeowner a dry, reliable basement suitable for year-round Wisconsin conditions.

This older Manitowoc, WI home required a detailed structural evaluation due to severe wall movement and interior beam deflection, both common in lake-influenced soils where freeze–thaw cycles and moisture fluctuations accelerate foundation wear. Using laser level mapping and structural wall analysis, our System Design Specialist documented lateral wall pressure along with settlement-related sag in the main floor framing. A combined repair plan was developed to restore stability and prevent continued structural failure.
Sure-Dry installed the EverBrace™ system to reinforce and stabilize the compromised foundation walls, transferring loads safely and rebuilding essential structural integrity. To correct interior deflection, SmartJack® supports were placed beneath key beams, with depth and torque verification ensuring proper bearing within local soil profiles. The completed system provides long-term protection, delivering a secure, level, and fully supported foundation suitable for older Wisconsin homes.

Water Leaks Were Destroying This Finished Basement — We Stopped It at the Source

This homeowner in Manitowoc, WI had a beautiful finished basement—until water started coming in from nearly every direction. Heavy rains caused flooding, moisture soaked the lower half of the finished walls, and the space began to smell damp and musty. After having to remove drywall and deal with water damage, the homeowner knew they needed a real fix—not just a patch.

That’s when they called Sure-Dry.

Our team designed a full basement waterproofing system that started with WaterGuard®, an interior drainage system that channels water away from the walls and into a sump pump. We installed a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, complete with battery backup, to ensure reliable protection even during power outages or high-volume storms. To handle the humidity and help prevent future mold issues, we added a Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier—one of the most efficient units available.

Once the basement was dry, it was time to restore what had been lost. Rather than use standard drywall again, we installed EverLast™ Wall Panels, which are mold-resistant, water-impervious, and built specifically for basement environments. For a clean finish, we cleverly disguised the WaterGuard clean-out ports with decorative “fake” heat vents, allowing the homeowner to reinstall flooring without blocking future system access.

Now the space is dry, protected, and looks great again—ready to be enjoyed without the constant worry of water damage.
