Before & After Photos

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.

Before
In Chilton, WI, the homeowners wanted to add a basement egress window to make their lower level safe and code-compliant for future living space. However, the available wall area for installation was located close to the home’s sump pump system and electrical panel. These tight clearances required precise planning to ensure that no part of the foundation cutting or excavation would interfere with the mechanical systems or compromise waterproofing performance. Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist carefully assessed the utilities and foundation layout to determine an ideal egress window location that met code while preserving system functionality.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced installation team excavated the exterior wall section with precision, taking extra precautions to protect the nearby sump discharge lines and electrical conduits. The crew cut the foundation opening using dust-controlled methods, installed a code-compliant insulated egress window, and constructed a reinforced well with proper drainage tied into the existing sump system. All components were sealed and graded to prevent moisture intrusion, ensuring that both the egress and the home’s pump system operated seamlessly.
The homeowner gained a safe, bright, and fully compliant basement exit—completed with careful workmanship that maintained the integrity of their essential home systems.
