Before & After Photos

Before
The homeowners in Menasha, WI, wanted to finish their basement into a livable space but lacked a proper emergency exit that met code. The existing basement had small, non-compliant windows that did not allow safe egress or sufficient natural light. During inspection, Sure-Dry determined that an egress window installation would not only meet building code for basement bedrooms but also enhance safety, light, and ventilation.

After
Sure-Dry’s crew excavated the area outside the foundation, carefully cut the concrete wall opening, and installed a code-compliant egress window system complete with a durable, rust-resistant window well and integrated drain. The installation provided both a safe emergency exit and increased natural light, transforming the basement into a bright, functional living space.
The homeowners were pleased to have a safer, fully code-approved basement ready for finishing.

Before
In Menasha, WI, the homeowners were preparing to finish their basement but quickly realized that the existing windows did not meet egress code for a safe emergency exit. The foundation walls were equipped only with small vent-style windows that lacked the required opening size and clearance, preventing the space from qualifying as a legal bedroom or living area. During inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist confirmed that a full egress window installation would not only bring the basement up to safety code but also improve natural lighting and ventilation for the lower level.

After
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the area outside the chosen foundation wall and cut a clean, precise opening through the concrete. The crew installed a code-compliant egress window system with a reinforced window well, built-in ladder, and an integrated drainage line tied into the home’s waterproofing system to prevent water accumulation. Once sealed, backfilled, and graded, the system provided both safety and aesthetic improvement.
The homeowners were pleased to have a bright, secure, and fully code-approved basement space ready for finishing.

Before:
A homeowner in Menasha, WI, wanted to install an egress window to make their basement brighter, safer, and ready for finishing. The existing windows were small and inefficient, offering little natural light and no safe exit in case of emergency. The homeowner was looking for a dependable solution that would improve both safety and comfort while maintaining a clean, watertight seal around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the exterior area and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable window well, and a clear protective cover to prevent water and debris buildup. Drainage stone was added at the base of the well to ensure proper water flow away from the foundation. The new system dramatically increased natural light, improved airflow, and provided a safe, easily accessible emergency exit.

The homeowner was very pleased with the final result, noting how much brighter and more inviting the basement felt, along with the peace of mind that comes with a code-compliant egress window.

At Sure-Dry, we encountered a notable challenge in White Lake, WI – a basement submerged under the stress of flooding, as depicted in the 'before' photo. Noticing the urgent need, we engineered an unwavering solution by meticulously installing our WaterGuard system alongside the formidable TripleSafe Sump Pump. As demonstrated in the 'after' photo, the transformation is palpable - a dry, secure base triumphing over water's wrath. Balancing exemplary service with steadfast solutions, we elevated a home from chaos to calm, ensuring peace and protection stand the test of time and tide.

In many cases, like this home in Saint Cloud, WI, water issues in the basement are caused by severe weather that can knock out power. With that in mind, we created the UltraSump® Battery Backup System to ensure continued protection no matter what happens. In the event of loss of power, the battery backup will automatically kick in and begin removing water from your basement, preventing a flood. The UltraSump® system can pump out in excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery, which is enough water to fill a small swimming pool!

The battery backup also comes with an alarm to alert you in case of power failure, sounding when the backup pump is running and silencing when power is restored. This alarm also protects you in case the main system is accidentally unplugged, which could otherwise leave your basement unprotected. The UltraSump® can outlast generic backup pumps many times over, and an additional battery can be attached for further protection.
