Before & After Photos

In New London, WI, this homeowner faced a persistent basement flooding issue. Notice in the before photo how the water intrusion threatened their home. We resolved this by installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard system, seen functioning in the after photo. The TripleSafe offers triple protection against pump failure, high water volumes, and power outages. WaterGuard effectively captures and guides water away, preventing foundation seepage. You can see the transformation—a once wet, unusable space, now a dry, dependable area, thanks to our specialized, industry-leading approach.

Before:
A homeowner in New London, WI, wanted to install an egress window to make their basement safer and more comfortable for everyday use. The existing basement windows were small, allowing very little natural light, and did not meet safety code for emergency exit. The homeowner wanted a reliable solution that would improve both the appearance and functionality of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear protective cover to keep out debris and moisture. Drainage stone was added at the base of the well to direct water away from the foundation and ensure long-term protection. The new window dramatically increased natural light, improved ventilation, and provided a safe emergency exit that meets modern code standards.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting how the brighter, safer basement now feels like a true extension of their home.

Before

This New London, WI home had two smaller crawl spaces located beneath additions that had been built onto the original home. Both areas had exposed surfaces that allowed ground moisture and humidity to enter the spaces below the living areas.

Even smaller crawl spaces can affect the home above them. Moisture entering from exposed soil and foundation walls can contribute to musty odors, elevated humidity, and damp crawl space conditions. Wisconsin's seasonal temperature changes can make controlling moisture in these enclosed areas especially important.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated both crawl spaces using CleanSpace®. The durable liner was installed across the floors and extended up the crawl space walls, separating the areas from ground and wall moisture.

CleanSpace creates a continuous moisture barrier that helps reduce water vapor entering the crawl space while providing a much cleaner environment beneath the additions. Extending the system up the walls is an important part of the encapsulation because moisture can enter through more than just the exposed ground.

With both crawl spaces encapsulated, these additions now have cleaner, drier and better-protected areas underneath them.

Before

This New London, WI homeowner was dealing with more than one basement problem. Water intrusion was creating wet conditions along the foundation walls and floor, while portions of the foundation also showed signs of inward movement that required structural attention.

Moisture can enter a basement through foundation walls as well as the joint where the walls meet the concrete floor. Wisconsin's changing soil moisture, heavy rains, snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles can also place considerable pressure against foundation walls. When water problems and wall movement occur together, addressing only one of them leaves an important part of the basement unprotected.

After

Sure-Dry designed a combined basement waterproofing and foundation repair solution. CleanSpace® was installed along the basement walls to create a durable moisture barrier and direct wall seepage into the drainage system.

Because conditions in this basement called for a drainage solution installed along the wall rather than beneath the floor, DryTrak® was installed to collect incoming water and channel it toward the sump system.

An UltraSump® system was installed to provide dependable pumping protection and remove collected groundwater from the basement.

To address the structural concerns, PowerBrace™ beams were installed against the affected foundation walls. The galvanized steel beams provide permanent stabilization without requiring excavation outside the home.

With drainage, wall moisture protection, sump pumping and structural stabilization working together, this basement is now better protected against both water intrusion and continued foundation wall movement.

Before

This older New London, WI home had changed over the years as additions were built onto the original structure. Beneath portions of the home were crawl spaces with exposed fieldstone foundation walls and ground surfaces that allowed moisture and humid air into the areas below the living space.

Older fieldstone crawl spaces can be particularly challenging because of their irregular surfaces, numerous gaps and the amount of moisture that can migrate through the stone and soil. Wisconsin's changing seasons, wet weather and freeze-thaw cycles can make these conditions even more noticeable.

Damp crawl spaces can contribute to musty odors, elevated humidity and moisture around the wood framing supporting the floors above.

After

Sure-Dry encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace®. The durable liner was installed across the ground and carefully extended up the irregular fieldstone foundation walls to create a more complete moisture barrier.

Working around an older home's fieldstone foundation and additions requires careful installation because the surfaces aren't as uniform as those found in newer poured-concrete or block foundations. The CleanSpace system was fitted to the unique layout of these crawl spaces to separate the home from moisture coming through the ground and foundation surfaces.

The finished encapsulation provides a cleaner, drier environment beneath the home and helps protect the structure above from the effects of crawl space moisture.
