Before
In Sturgeon Bay, WI, the homeowner wanted to make their basement safer and more functional but faced a challenge with small, outdated windows that did not meet current egress code. The foundation walls were poured concrete, and the planned installation area was located on a sloped section of the yard where drainage and soil stability required careful management. During inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist determined that an egress window installation would not only bring the basement into code compliance but also improve lighting, ventilation, and usability of the lower level.
After
Sure-Dry’s certified crew excavated the area along the foundation, stabilizing the slope to prevent soil movement during the dig. A clean, code-sized opening was cut into the concrete wall, and an energy-efficient egress window was installed with a reinforced, corrosion-resistant window well featuring a built-in ladder and integrated drain line. The system was sealed and tied into the existing waterproofing to ensure moisture protection, then backfilled and graded for a clean finish.
The homeowner gained a bright, safe, and fully code-compliant basement space that’s now ready for finishing.

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space in Stephenson, MI. On top of that, the floor joists were beginning to show signs of damage as well due to failing crawl space supports.
To fix the moisture issue of this crawl space, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System. This durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.
To fix this crawl space's structural issues, Sure-Dry installed their SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer system, which is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces.
It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

Before
This crawl space had previously been encapsulated by another company, but the original system had failed due to poor material durability and improper sealing. Sections of the liner had pulled away, seams were separating, and ground moisture was again migrating into the space. Elevated humidity, musty odors, and energy loss through uninsulated walls and rim joists were clear signs that crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation needed to be redone properly by a qualified crawl space repair contractor.
After
Sure-Dry removed compromised materials and re-encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to create a continuous, properly sealed vapor barrier across the floor and foundation walls. The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo™ panels to improve thermal performance, and the rim joists were sealed and insulated using RimTight™ to eliminate air leakage and condensation points.
The crawl space is now dry, properly sealed, and energy efficient, providing long-term moisture control and structural protection with a professionally installed crawl space repair Wisconsin solution.
