Before & After Photos

Before Installation

The basement in Wausau, WI, had a standard small window that was insufficient for use as an emergency exit. This window allowed minimal natural light into the basement bedroom, creating a somewhat dark and confined atmosphere. The lack of a proper egress window not only compromised safety but also limited the usability and appeal of the space.

After Installation

Following the installation by Sure-Dry, the basement bedroom now features a new egress window that meets all safety regulations for an emergency exit. The new window is significantly larger, allowing much more natural light to flood the room, creating a brighter and more inviting environment. The addition of the egress window enhances the overall safety of the basement, providing a reliable and accessible escape route in case of emergencies. This upgrade also increases the functionality and value of the basement, making it a more attractive living space.

Stabilizing Cracked, Bowing Block Walls with PowerBraces™

Before: Wall Cracks Getting Worse—and So Was the Water

This Wausau homeowner had been watching their block foundation walls develop severe stairstep cracks for a while, but recently, things took a turn. As the wall continued to crack and shift inward, water began seeping through, and mold started forming in the damp corners of the basement. They knew they needed to act fast—before structural issues or water damage got worse.

After: Foundation Stabilized and Protected with PowerBraces™

We installed a series of PowerBrace™ Wall Stabilization Systems, engineered to halt inward wall movement and keep the structure from getting worse. The fully adjustable braces can even be tightened over time to potentially reverse wall deflection.

By addressing the cracking and movement, we also helped eliminate one of the primary sources of water intrusion—protecting the basement from future leaks and mold growth.
