Before: Cracked Walls & Water Every Time It Rained

In Appleton, this homeowner was dealing with cracking block foundation walls and water seepage that showed up during every heavy rain. The cracks were only getting worse, and the damp basement was starting to affect the space above. They knew it was time to take care of the problem before it turned into major structural damage.

After: Stabilized, Dry & Storm-Ready

Our team installed a full foundation and waterproofing system to permanently solve both the structural and water issues:

• GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stop inward movement and stabilize the cracking block walls

• WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture and redirect groundwater

• A new sump pump system with battery backup to keep water out—even during power outages

Now the basement is secure, dry, and protected from future storms—and the homeowner no longer has to stress every time it rains.

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to install an egress window to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met modern safety codes. The existing basement windows were small, inefficient, and provided no safe means of exit in case of emergency. The homeowner needed a solution that would improve light, ventilation, and safety while maintaining proper drainage and a clean appearance.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the exterior area and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear cover to keep out debris and moisture. The crew ensured proper grading and added drainage stone at the base of the well to direct water away from the foundation. The new installation provided abundant natural light and a reliable emergency exit, transforming the basement into a bright, functional space.

The homeowner was thrilled with the improvement, noting how the new window made the basement feel open, comfortable, and fully code-compliant.

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.
