Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowner in Sherwood, WI intended to convert their lower level into a habitable space but the existing basement window was too small to meet emergency‐egress code requirements and lacked a properly sized areaway. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist identified that the current opening did not satisfy the minimum clear-opening dimensions mandated under Wisconsin law for a bedroom egress window and noted that the soil and drainage conditions around the foundation raised a risk of water intrusion.

After
Sure-Dry’s certified technicians excavated the exterior grade adjacent to the foundation wall, cut and removed the undersized opening, installed a code-compliant egress window unit and constructed a reinforced window well with integrated drain, safe ladder access, and proper back-fill and grading to ensure moisture protection and exterior safety. The result is a finished basement exit that meets all relevant Wisconsin residential code requirements and enables the homeowner to finish the basement room as a legal living/sleeping space with confidence and peace of mind.

Before: This Sherwood, WI, homeowner had a reliable Sure-Dry waterproofing system and an air purifier installed, but the basement humidity remained higher than recommended. The moisture in the air made the space uncomfortable and raised concerns about potential mold growth and damp odors.

After: Sure-Dry installed a Sedona dehumidifier to provide automatic, energy-efficient humidity control. Integrated with the existing waterproofing system, the Sedona now maintains optimal humidity levels, preventing musty odors and improving air quality throughout the basement.

The homeowner now enjoys a consistently dry, healthy living environment with total air and moisture control.

With repetitive water seeping through their basement walls and piling up on the floor, homeowners in Chilton, WI were ready for a solution. 

To remove the water, we installed the WaterGuard System. This system is installed under the floor slab and tiny little slits on top of the WaterGuard collect the water that seeps through and carries it to the sump pump to be discharged out. This system is very handy because it does a lot of work in removing water but isn't noticeable at all! 

With a water system put in place, these homeowners have one less thing on their mind!

Before:
In a Chilton basement, the homeowner was dealing with recurring water seepage along the cove joint where the floor and wall meet. The existing concrete floor made it impractical to install a traditional perimeter drain, and frequent sump pump cycling left standing water after heavy

rains.

After:
The crew installed a DryTrak® drainage channel along the interior perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage without disturbing the slab. A TripleSafe™ sump pump system was added to provide triple protection against pump failure and power loss.

The basement now stays dry year-round, and the homeowner can use the space confidently.

Before:
A Chilton homeowner had a damp, uneven crawl space with falling insulation, exposed soil, and humidity contributing to musty odors throughout the home. One section of the block foundation wall was also bowing inward, showing signs of movement from exterior soil pressure.

After:
The crew installed the CleanSpace® encapsulation system across the entire crawl space floor and walls to seal out ground moisture and improve air quality. A TripleSafe™ sump pump was added for reliable water removal.  SmartJack® support posts were then placed beneath weakened floor joists to restore stability and proper elevation.

The crawl space is now clean, dry, and structurally secure, improving the home’s comfort and stability.
