Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Little Chute, WI had a finished basement space that lacked a code-compliant emergency exit, limiting safety and restricting how the space could be used. The existing basement windows were undersized and did not meet egress requirements, creating concerns for emergency escape and natural light. This was a common issue in older Wisconsin homes where basements were finished without proper consideration for updated building codes.

After
Sure-Dry installed a code-compliant egress window system to provide a safe emergency exit and improve natural light in the basement. The installation included cutting the foundation opening, installing the window and well, and ensuring proper drainage and weather sealing around the system. This upgrade brought the basement into compliance while enhancing safety, functionality, and overall livability of the space.
The homeowner now has a safer, brighter basement with a proper emergency exit that supports long-term use and peace of mind.

Before:
A homeowner in Combined Locks, WI was dealing with ongoing basement water problems every time it rained or snow melted. Water entered along the perimeter where the floor met the wall, leaving damp spots and musty odors. The existing sump system was outdated and couldn’t keep up with the volume, leading to standing water and high humidity throughout the lower level.

After:
To permanently fix the issue, our team installed a complete WaterGuard® interior drainage system tied into a TripleSafe® Sump System for maximum pumping capacity and redundancy. Outside, an IceGuard® discharge fitting was added to protect against winter freeze-ups and prevent backups during cold weather.

Now, the Combined Locks basement stays consistently dry and protected, no matter the season—giving the homeowners peace of mind and a clean, usable space year-round.

Before, this Phelps, WI basement was a victim of constant flooding, leaving homeowners worrying with every rainfall.

We deliver premiums in foundation repair tailored to each space we work on for optimal results every time.

Before:
In a fully finished basement in Sherwood, the homeowner began noticing water seeping through the floor near the existing sump pump during heavy rainfall. The standard unit struggled to keep up with high volumes of groundwater, leading to damp carpet edges and moisture along baseboards. Continued seepage threatened the finished materials and raised concerns about hidden water damage.

After:
The existing sump system was replaced with a TripleSafe™ sump pump to provide three levels of protection against pump failure and power outages. The new system includes a primary pump, a secondary high-capacity pump, and a battery backup to ensure continuous operation during storms.

The basement now remains completely dry and protected, preserving the home’s finished living space.
