Before & After Photos

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner already had a sump pump system in the basement, but the existing equipment needed to be replaced. An aging or unreliable sump pump can leave a basement vulnerable when groundwater levels rise during heavy rain or spring snowmelt.

The basement also needed better humidity control to help manage moisture in the air and maintain a drier, more comfortable environment.

After

Sure-Dry replaced the existing sump equipment with a SuperSump® system designed to reliably collect and remove groundwater from the basement.

A SaniDry™ dehumidification system was also installed to control excess humidity. Unlike a typical portable household dehumidifier, SaniDry is designed specifically for basement and crawl space environments and automatically drains collected water.

With an upgraded sump system and dedicated humidity control in place, this Appleton homeowner now has better protection against both groundwater and excess moisture in the air.

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner was already a Sure-Dry waterproofing customer when they noticed another concern developing in their basement. Several of the poured concrete foundation walls were showing signs of movement and needed structural stabilization.

What makes this project especially notable is that the home is well under 20 years old. Foundation problems aren't limited to older homes. Soil movement, changing moisture levels, and Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles can create significant pressure against foundation walls regardless of the home's age.

Because different walls had different conditions and available space around the home, Sure-Dry designed a repair using two different foundation stabilization systems.

After

On walls where exterior access was available, Sure-Dry installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors. These anchors connect steel wall plates inside the basement to earth anchors installed in stable soil outside the foundation, permanently stabilizing the walls against further inward movement.

On other walls, the crew installed PowerBrace™ steel I-beams. PowerBraces are installed against the foundation wall and secured to the framing above, providing stabilization without requiring excavation outside the home.

Using both systems allowed Sure-Dry to match the foundation repair solution to the conditions of each wall rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Homeowners in Appleton, WI needed their window in their basement replaced due to its old age and it began to let cold air in.

Our team at Sure-Dry arrived at their home and installed our EverLast Window, which provides a complete seal and protection from the outside world. 

Now, these homeowners won't have to feel that awful cold winter air in their nice warm home! 

Homeowners in Appleton, WI have been trying to find a good support product for their home's foundation for a long time now, however, every attempt has failed until now.

We installed 5 GeoLocks to their basement walls. These anchors use the hard compacted soil outside to firmly hold the wall in place. In fact, these anchors can be tightened over time to pull the wall back to its correct standing location.

Now that they have a guaranteed product to work, these homeowners are at peace of mind! 

Our team installed 8 GeoLocks around the perimeter of their basement walls. These anchors use the compacted soil outside to firmly hold the wall in place and keep it from bowing in any farther. Over time, these walls can be tightened to straighten the wall back to its proper location.
